Dean "Rocket" Hall has called on gamers and the media to hold developers accountable for crowdfunded projects.

The Kiwi developer of DayZ made his comments in the wake of two high profile crowdfunding failures, Godus and The Stomping Ground.

Hall's former employer, Bohemia Interactive, has been accepting crowdfunding for a stand-alone edition of DayZ on Steam Early Access.

The standalone version of DayZ went into Steam Early Access in December 2013. Nearly 3 million people have paid US$30 each to be a part of the game's ongoing testing and development. News that the game is now unlikely to be released before 2016 has left many frustrated and disappointed.

Earlier this month it was revealed that Peter Molyneux's 22 Cans would probably be unable to deliver on its Kickstarter promises. Molyneux accepted that there was "a catalogue of things that I did badly and incorrectly", and that he had made "horrendous mistakes".

Last week it came to light that work appears to have stopped on The Stomping Land, an ambitious dinosaur-themed multiplayer survival game that accepted more than US$100,000 in crowdfunding.
