How long until they make a diving survival game with zombie sharks?

Survival games in general are just really big right now. I'll speculate that it's due to the success of Minecraft but I suspect someone will set me straight with how survival games were already getting big. On Grantland, Mark Listani wrote about the state of movies and how the strategy now is to get people excited about not necessarily what's coming out now but what's coming next, hence Marvel's hedging strategy about announcing the next five years worth of movies (for example, there next Avengers movie is "Age of Ultron"...but then we have "Infinity War", so who really cares about Age of Ultron??). I wonder if, by releasing unfinished games, the game market it kind of propelling itself in the same way- here, play DayZ for a little while and get your fix, but don't forget about H1Z1 coming soon!
