The amount of anti-consumerism, lies, ideology and greed that is pervading the gaming universe is truly staggering today.
No worries, we arnt buying their games.
@@BoinkrNanis It's fun to pretend.
✡️ Took over
@@MrPhooey442 Not everyone is obligated to buy the new trash on the market. Ever hear of a library of games? Look into it before you ASSUME everyone has a compulsive spending habit for bad companies.
ESG money goes straight into the pockets of those seeking it. And when the going gets rough, get the hell out.
They know they can’t do it forever
I used to like Tarkov, but continuous bugs and hacking issues made me put it down. With this news, I doubt I'll play again
been playin Helldivers 2, haven't played this wipe for 3 or 4 months now.
Same
The last time I tried Tarkov, I loaded up on shoreline and took two steps forward before I was headcapped. Immediately after I had uninstalled it again.
I don't know if it was a cheater or not, but even if not that's just not fun gameplay for me.
After seeing this, I probably won't try it again either even though I was pretty excited when I heard offline progression was a thing... Should have been included with EOD that I bought on launch...
@@Silamon2I tried to self-delete over Tarkov. Never touch it.
Same, on top of this wipe being the most hacker filled ever. It seems bsg is just dropping the game and trying to squeeze as much money as possible
As South Korean gamer, who lived through the rise of P2W BS in the 2000, everything started with simple $10 in game T-Shirt with minor stat on it in Lineage. And now, the game costs people upward of $10,000/yr an average and some have spent over $10 mil. Never EVER give an inch to this BS. Hold the Line. Get active.
Jesus Christ 😭
You mean Won, don't you? Bc anyone who spends 10m USD on video games alone deserves to have their money taken
If you've got $10 million DOLLARS to spend on gaming, you've won the lottery so you're the exception, not the rule :P
I still don’t understand why people play Lineage in South Korea. It has no enticement to me at all. I spend maybe $500-1,000 on WoW over 12 years (not sure if that includes the monthly sub), but eventually I just got bored. But that’s activisions fault
No mate, pointless dlc was invented by Bethesda with Oblivions horse armour.
I purchased the EOD Edition back in 2016. I didn't get my in-game Alpha armband for playing the Alpha, so I contacted support. They told me to stop wasting their time. If you didn't get the Alpha armband, you didn't play in 2017. I asked them when I purchased the game? And they said June 1st, 2016. I responded by saying "So... I did play during the Alpha?" They didn't respond and closed my ticket. My email was blacklisted as I never get responses from BSG support, and my tickets get automatically closed without a single response. I stopped playing in 2020 because I realized this game was one big lie. BSG pulling a Cyberpunk 2077, huh? The downloadable content is not considered DLC 😂🤣💀
The only way to make them do anything is in the public light. Uk and Canada have class actions starting. Hopefully US gets in on it fast.
They are definitely not pulling a CP2077. There is no fucking way they will be able to pull a 180 out of this shitshow.
@@joshwist556 i still think cp2077 has massively "under-delivered" and the dlc doesn't even fit very well into the story well, V is very differnt in the dlc compared to the rest of game for example and it introduced unnecessary level scaling o every enemie which made Fighting more boring and you can't get to a power fantasy level anymore since the enemies just level with you now.
Witcher 3 is still a way better game in every single way.
the dlc just pushed the game into from bad to mediocrity.
@@Nonpain Bait used to be believable
CP2077 actually released, Tarkov never will
All these years I've been asking for a single player tarkov mode. And when they decided to do something close to that as a coop pve, they shit the bed completely.
There's an community addon called SPT for Tarkov that lets you play Tarkov in single player, it also has 1000s of mods to spice it up like the newly released Realism mod.
Just do what I did and jump into SPT. The mods that improve things like lighting/visibility & AI behavior make it the superior Tarkov. Just a fact.
Single Player Tarkov mod. No cheaters, no bsg bullshit, no pay to win, your rules. Oh and it is completely free.
You can edit almost everything with svm mod and add infinite amount of bots if you have powerful PC.
Do you not anomaly/ gamma
@@brada562 The only issue is the risk of being banned.
Which is kind of risky for those that pay a lot of money for the game.
There certainly seems to be a lot of lying and false advertising going on in the game industry lately. When are we going to start holding developers accountable for this stuff? Isn't this supposed to be illegal?
Our government isn't held accountable. Corporations aren't held accountable. Why should game studios be held accountable?
stop paying them. they can't scam if they get no money out of it. I only buy games a year after launch once every genuine unpaid review is out, it's on sale and all bugs have been fixed
It is incredibly illegal to falsely advertise to the public. But these companies bring in revenue for the states their based in so nobody wants to do anything about it, money talks, and it unfortunately may be the only voice we, the consumers, have
people didn't care when Bethesda tried to screw people over by implementing dlc as "paid mods" so they wouldn't be considered in the season pass. if people don't act on this then the industry is just a bunch of cucks and deserves to be fleeced.
@@kirbysaurus5670me personally I just wait till their on Gamepass or until they're cheap enough to waste money on, which is sadly looking like it's never gonna happen these days
I just heard of this. 250$!? And it has a TON OF PAY-TO-WIN CRAP!? They’ve just utterly destroyed ALL THE RESPECT from their players!! Not even EA, UBISOFT, ACTIVISION, and most of AAA GAMING has done something this, STUPID. 🤦♂️
Activision reused Gold Leopard weapon cammo and sold it for $100. For a weapon camo you earned in a past COD. Also they are selling an $80 melee weapon.
As well has 2 battle passes and sells everything instead of unlocking through play.
AAA studios are also manipulating your play from behind the scenes. I'd say thats worse than pay to win antics.
Ubisoft and EA have most certainly done this before. Instead of $250, they expect you to pay thousands of dollars spinning the VLT's
And what exactly is pay to win in this update/dlc/scam?
@@ubnsensei85did you even watch the bodeo
@@Sypitz I've seen it, I play the game too, which is why I'm asking what he thinks is such a great pay to win, because I don't see it.
The problem with the gaming industry is that all game developers think that they can get away with ludicrous microtransactions and pricing of dlc because mobile games can and do get away with it. The BIG difference with mobile games is that everything about them is FREE.
Isn't allways the devs, most likely the publishers or those offering and wanting the money.
That's why games from small developper studios are made with love, they don't have to respond to shareholders or bean counters, like someone from baldurs gate (I think) said, the money comes alone if you do a great game an not being anti-consumer.
The market is also quite different. The mobile game whale is a different animal to the hard core gamer.
It's more than $250, because they don't include taxes in the display price, but you can't see the final price unless you create an account on their site.
So everyone says that it's $250, when it's actually more like $300-350 after taxes, depending on your region.
The gaming industry has turned to shit. Ubisoft turned off servers for The Crew and licensed the code so moders couldn’t make a mod to play offline. This is just gonna get worse because people who buy a lot of the games won’t make a statement but not buying any new games until they do something about us paying 60+ dollars for a game that’s not ours. I saw an article about a dev or something from Ubisoft management said “ get used to not owning games” and the future of gaming is totally subscription based. Consumers don’t realize the power they have but I think most gamers don’t see the problem now but they will eventually
The solution is simple. Buy your game on GOG, download the off-line installers, and own the game.... Forever.
These days I simply refuse to buy games that need to be always-on-line, have "call-home" DRM like Denuvo, or are incomplete.
The overwhelming majority of games I bought lately are on GOG, and knowing those games never ever been ripped out of my hands makes me a happy gamer again. And all those other games can be put into a place the sun will never shines as far as I concern. Will I miss out on some games? Sure no doubt, but if that's the price I have to pay for feeling comfortable with my purchases, it's a price I will happily pay.
These people removed a game from my library that I bought on release in 2015 The Crew at 60 USD. I will never buy another Ubisoft game ever again.
why the hell would you even play a sweet baby inc game in the first place. good riddance.
Then ubisoft and others better get used to gamers not buying or supporting their products.😊
To be fair Ubisoft did put in ToS that you don't actually own the game, problem is no one actually reads the ToS which is a huge problem, disc version is literally just a license checker, it's kind of fucked but we haven't owned games since PS2 era
As someone that has 3000+ hours in Tarkov in over 6 different wipes, I will refuse to play another hour of that game out of principle until they revert that pricing model change. Leaves a sour taste in the mouth. I'm gonna just wait for Grayzone Warfare to enter the genre and compete against them
Are you just going to pretend like the Edge of Darkness edition isn't a thing? Were you not OUTRAGED enough to stop you from playing at the time?
I had a buddy who has that many hours, but he has no conviction and pretty sure he bought it instantly.
@-TBH- 😂 Who cares he changed his mind. I swear people on the internet act like opinions are static.
@@kamifuujin who changed his mind?
@@kamifuujin I think you're confused between opinions and principles?
as a customer, we gotta stop letting companies bully us.
The only way we do that is to speak with our wallets. But this video is showing me that the customers are not messing around. and i love it. i hope more video game communities act like this community
People have forgotten the power of boycotting. They hurt consumers, consumers hurt them back; that's the only way they start respecting us consumers.
I've submitted a complaint requesting either my full benefits without concessions or a full refund of EoD. I will most definitely be one of the people suing over this matter.
Don't forget to report bsg to the BBB if you are in the US.
BSG puts a no refunds statement at the xsolla purchase screen, you won't be getting a refund.
Submit deez nutz
The question is if it holds court. They can note down a lot of things like no refund but the court can simply over rule it if it's against the law or they change the rules making the contract void.
LMAO good luck with the court case. I imagine first you'll need to leave the house.
that's so embarrassing it's almost funny. sounds exactly like when EA or whatever company said, "they aren't lootboxes! it's surprise mechanics!"
I just want the PVE coop mode why tf do I have to pay an extra $190 for it
There's mod that lets you play coop on private server. Still requires base game tho. It's called SIT
@@aXrastaXa Thank you, I'll check it out
@@Malevolent8SPT (single player tarkov) great mod
@@aXrastaXa SPT? My understanding is that does not support coop.
@@Agent_Ice0 SPT is the base single player mod. SIT (stay in tarkov) is the mod that goes on top of that and provides coop.
at 3:22 you glance over the pocket size change.
The levels, loot, and hideout size are just convenient. It's not a permanent boost for in-raid gameplay. An early start in new wipes if you will.
But the pockets are not unlockable for standard players. This is a P2W future.
Lawsuit needs to be filed and people gathered.
9:03 They didn't change the description of what the EOD edition provided months ago. No! They were changing it LIVE while Landmark was reviewing it on stream just yesterday! They were watching his stream, noting the things he was mentioning that EOD promised long ago, and then editing the web page to remove the language it once had!!
Link pls
Its not DLC? To get it you have to download it, right? It wasnt in the original released game, right? It's additional content, right?
Hmmmmm, sounds like its exactly DLC (Downloadable Content)
Reminds me of the argument of: "They are not lootboxes, they are surprise mechanics."
I hope they get sued into oblivion.
@@lyoko348 Or when they suddenly started doing multiple "seasons" of dlc, to justify something being excluded from the season pass.
Devs builds game, gamer fanfare builds up, publisher smells what's cookin', activates greed mode, crashes and burns it all down. A cycle getting all too familiar now.
Oh wait, Battle State Games is self-published. Well done CEO for the self-sabotage, self-defeat, and self-destruct strategic plan. Genius.
I’ve been waiting for this mode for a long time, ain’t no way in this lifetime or the next I’m paying 250 dollars!
I'd suggest single player tarkov then as a mod.
We will see in court how much their argument holds up
I wonder how EU consumers could complain against such a UK based company?
@@gawkthimm6030 If they are selling in the EU, they are subject to local law. Complaining to the relevant EU-based regulator will be effective in either removing them from the market or forcing compliance + fine.
@@imdstine47 It really depends on what that situation will mean for them and where their money stored. Even if their capital stored in EU bank, there's a chance that they will just move their money to Russia and just shut down Tarkov. After that - good luck in court, it will be the same as trying to sue someone from North Korea. On other hand - Putin still pays to IMF, so maybe there is a chance.
I swear companies like these are perfect advertisements for games like Helldivers 2, Palworld, etc.
Yeah this instantly blows away any chance of me ever giving them any money. Doesn't matter if they roll it back. It's over.
I bought the standard edition around 2 months ago and within the past 2 weeks recently started getting really into it. Purchased all additional stash space I could and have been pestering 2 of my IRL friends into buying it to play with me. I straight up told both of them don't bother buying it now. Completely disgusting move from BSG.
They need to file a class action lawsuit and see if it's DLC.
I never got the hype for Tarkov. Admittedly, as much as I love shooters, I don’t like extraction shooters. But I’m glad I was vindicated to all my friends that have been suckin the balls of this games devs for a couple of years now.
As a EFT player myself who has above average stats, I have always known that Nikita (the lead dev and founder of BSG) was a greedy egomaniac, but the community always treated him like the second coming of jesus or some s**t. As such, I always used to be called a "hater" by other players for being critical and skeptical of BSG, even though I genuinely enjoyed the game itself.
I also now feel incredibly vindicated, because people are finally realizing what I have always known: BSG and Nikita are scum bags.
@@jonathanoriley8260they're Russians. Of course they're scumbags.
@@jonathanoriley8260 Even people that meet him IRL hate him. LOL
@@Agent_Ice0 Some people legit think he has connections to the Russian Mob lolol
@@jonathanoriley8260 I can't speak on that. But I know people that met him in person that were left very unimpressed. The game would be 100% better if he wasn't at the head of it. The guy even said he doesn't like the game and doesn't play it. If he feels that way, why the heck is he in charge of overseeing the creation of it? Pick someone else lol
There's a single player tarkov mod that has been around for years. I am now looking into downloading it as I'm sure many others are aswell. Even many EFT streamers are just playing the Mod instead.
The hub database website for all the mods is currently struggling to stay up with the load of all the folks doing the same thing today
you can play coop with the SP mod right now
I've had it installed for over a year now. Funnily enough the last time I updated it was pre-arena so my current version of SPT still doesn't have vaulting or the new city map they added for new players.
I have a feeling Tarkov going to get a massive pirate problem soon
How exactly? It's a multiplayer game
@cokeweasel1064 multi-player games can still be pirated, the problem is when you need to buy the game in order to make an account. But even then, im pretty sure hackers found ways to bypass that and still play online
I have only seen a beta version available on the high seas. Version 0.12.whatever.
@@cokeweasel1064 The $250 version has a single player component, that can be played offline. Plus, I feel there will be servers put up to facilitate high seas versions.
They saw the writing on the wall with other competitors on the way and made a last minute cash grab before the game succumbs to it age and poorly-optimized engine.
Just watched four of my friends buy this purely to avoid the hackers and terrible PvP experience, so it seems they made a smart decision. Companies don't care about reputation unless they think that it will cut into their profits, and even for that scenario, they will just come up with some way to trick people into forgiving them.
I called them out about this kind of stuff 6 years ago, the videos are still there and everyone abused me across all platforms and none of the so called video game journalists said a thing, now they see I was 100% right about this scummy company. 100% vindication and it feels good, off to get more popcorn.
Its like the heads of these gaming companies get rich from making good games and develop an uncontrollable drug habit that they are afraid they will lose the ability to fund. We always knew when my step-dad was back on coke bc he would suddenly start charging more for haircuts and we only had noodles in the house to eat .
Underrated and W take.
EFT isn't really that great of a game, there just isn't any real competition.
I still remember saying EOD was sketch and people telling me it was worth it cause they wouldnt have to pay for anything in the future. This was years ago. Guess I got a dozen or so friends to troll now.
You can't say "All DLC included" in a premium edition and then with every release say "Lolno this doesn't count as DLC!"
I bought the EOD edition a few years back and have even bought a couple of copies of the base edition for friends. I pretty much stopped playing because of the hackers/modders in the game. It is really sad to see this is where the game has gone at this point.
I bought EOD back in 2016 and started playing at .5. I also bought a standard edition for my friend. I hadn't played this game in over two years from this point. I, like yourself, stopped playing because of the cheaters ( that at the time nobody wanted to admit was as big of an issue) and the direction of the game BSG was taking it. BSG started to cater heavily to the streamer community and I think they lost their original vision for this game. I have no reason to ever return to this game.
They forgot to add all the cheaters you get for free and that they won't do shit to fix it.
A pve mode locked behind a $250 edition? Oh lawd, that shit is criminal. Starbreeze taking notes.
they never learn because they don't want to admit they're wrong.
What's really funny to me is they say the new content is "not DLC" but you literally have to download the new pay-walled content in order to play the fucking base game
I saw people in Bellular's comments talking about this. Absolutely insane.
Not my type of game, but I hope players can find a similar game without the pay to win. Sometimes it can be fun to play against people who pay to win, and still beat them. That can be super cool. But sometimes they're just given too many advantages and the possibility to enjoy yourself quickly disappears.
Calling it pay to win is a bit of a stretch tbh... You aren't guaranteed success by anything it gives you. It just slightly lessens the grind.
@@Agent_Ice0 Paying to win doesn't necessarily mean you'll win, it gives you an advantage, an edge. But it doesn't mean you'll win for sure. It's still a very anti consumer business practice and can make things unfair for legitimate players.
@@LaylaSpellwind It CAN make things unfair. Personally, I don't see how this does. The idea is BSG is giving you something to show appreciation for you paying 3X the price of the standard game to help support their company. So they could improve the game.
If you look at all the EOD accounts alone, that's a heck of a lot of money that wouldn't have been put toward the game if it didn't exist. Let's put the shoe on the other foot. If people liked the game, why DIDN'T they upgrade to EOD to support it and keep it going? Do they expect everyone else to pay for everything? Isn't that unfair? There's more than one way to look at this.
This is why I don't complain about whales in MMOs.
So if this is not an DLC then piracy is not theft, it cost optimization.
BSG deserved all the outrage but the Kukri knife being bought from asset store is simply not true, it is based on a real knife and BSG version is visibly on another level of quality.
If it requires the base-game to play then it's DLC.
'Escape From Tarkov' has never been a more apt title until now.
Yo bro you may wanna start giving disclaimer to your viewers im not getting notifications from the bell you may be shadowed
True no notification,,,, good thing I have a list of channels I check on the regular...
@@MrSharariebrum still tho gotta let the homie know
I got the notification
I do not play the game currently and honestly at $350 canadian, ain't nobody got money for that. Food is getting more and more expensive by the day.
The main reason I don't play Destiny 2 is because it's not a free to play game like advertised its more like a free to try game. I refuse to pay the 100€ for the battle pass or whatever they call it in that game, and I can't imagin why I would want to pay 150 dollars on one bloody expansion
"Special monetization operation" gave me a good laugh.
The knife is actually modeled after a real knife. It is no wonder it looks the same as one in a asset store. Its like saying my high res M4 Model is from a store because it looks the same like the high res M4 model in the asset store. But yeah the price tag of the edition is really unheared of...
It is the same exact model, of said knife, as the one in the asset store.
Never dreamed I would still be alive when the gaming industry would kill itself in a any% speed run. so many disrespectful moves by multiple companies is mind boggling
Dying light two put micro transaction in a single player game. Games are so fucked these days
It soured that game for me

Still a great game lmfao. Cant be compared to tarkov at all.
So many company’s get greedy and don’t realize this isn’t the old days doing some shady or greedy things people will talk about it and it will ruin your product and all that work will be for not.
BSG has always been a pretty shady a morally questionable company. Years ago they were DMCA striking people for talking poorly about the game.
For talking poorly about the game AND playing SPT mod.
The knife is confirmed not to be from asset store btw
Looks the exact same then so it must be stolen
@@ilikecinema1234 it's based on a real knife so of course it's going to be similar

@@ilikecinema1234 every item in Tarkov is based on a real item
They should release a $350 dollar version called the Loch Ness monster edition. It just puts a Loch Ness monster up on your screen. The monster then constantly asks you for tree fiddy. Each time getting more convoluted.

Hope that helps.
There's a great vid knocking about covering how badly they are hurting after Arena. But we should have seen this coming when they even began selling editions while hiding behind the word 'beta' to excuse the broken state of it.
I've been playing Tarkov since 2019, iirc, and BSG has done scummy things before, such as put the game on big sale soon after they've banned bunch of cheaters.
But this has to be the new low. And not just making the game semi-P2W, because the game has already been that with the EOD, but to actually lie to EOD customers who bought the EOD because they thought that they wouldn't have to spend another dime on this game after that.
And the big problem is that Tarkov doesn't really have any real competition, so players who like this sort of game have nowhere else to go. There have been multiple games that have tried to do similar thing, but one by one they've all died off. And players are stuck with Tarkov and their anti-consumer business practices.
Another vid! Glad you're doing better!
This is one of the better videos that’s reporting on the Tarkov situation. Good job.
You’d think by now companies would learn, but nope. It really comes down to who makes those executive decisions, because they don’t care about the players, just the bottom line.
If people could call out or track those ppl, I think that’ll make a bigger impact. Cause if not, worst case for them would be to just change jobs and repeat.
The pattern seems to be small AA studio releases a great game that blows up and either eventually starts doing corporate scummy bs to their players eventually if it’s a live service or release a sequel that’s not as good, not as creative as the first and full of micro transactions. This is why I’m worried about KCD 2. I’ve also noticed, and there’s been a lot of examples lately, when players are dissatisfied, the devs attack them and do the we know better than you routine instead of trying to please their customers. Many, many such cases
As soon as Arena hit the news, alarms were already sounding and I haven't toutched Tarkov since. They made a lot of wrong turns.
This is exactly why I wait 3+ years for a heavy discount on games, most of the time during that time you would get the final release and complete edition of a agme at 67-90% off.
Sounds to me like the "we added the PvE thing for 6 months to the EOD owners" is an admission of guilt. It's like them saying "We know we promised you'd get this for free. But we thought maybe you'd have forgot. So to make it up to you, we'll give you what we promised, but only for 6 months".
For those who are bad at math, 6 months is 0% compared to the implied infinite time of the original EOD deal. So it might as well not be there. It's insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
PS:
Never played the game. Just heard of this controversy in a podcast and felt I'd see what other creators think of it. Which led me here.
Read about this the other day, not a game I play so a bit of an outsider, but still, can't believe they really sold people a 150$ package and told them it wasn't covering the new thing coming out. Are they nuts? And 150$ not sure if I would have been supporting that in the first place. Then a 250$ pack on top of that? Greedy AF.
The fact BSG saw everyone complaining about Unheard and then did the same to EOD is absurd.
Meanwhile cod is a 70$ unfinished game with hundreds if not thousands of dollars of microtransactions in the store
They'll remove it eventually and then say "We're sorry 😢" and that's it. Nothing will change, they'll change small things, and people will give them good-boy points and move on. Battlestate has proved they don't deserve the community and money they got, and they've become just like every other trashfire developer. If you go back to supporting them after this, you're easily manipulated and have the memory of a goldfish.
I was excited for Tarkov when it was in beta, but gave it a hard pass when I saw they were selling pre-order packages for 350$. So if I wanted all the game had to offer I'd have she'll out that absurd amount? For mostly extra storage space? I was so incensed I never gave it another look. F these greedy line crossing companies.
I remember when the game first came out… it felt fair, very hardcore but fair…
Jumping back into it just after a wipe… It feels crazy, with hackers rampant
Listening to your content has put a fire in me. I might actually take law classes and change careers. There looks to be an untouched gold-mine to be plundered out of prosecuting illegal activities in the gaming industry, either in class-action lawsuits or otherwise… Someone needs to do something about it.
Dont give up your day job kid.
You aren't taking a russian company to court. Get a grip go outside and run around a rock. it would be more productive. THERE is nothing you can do about this.
Sure it suckks its unfair but they are russian and they have no f***s to give
I wish you luck and will watch you career with great interest
I will say the problem with MMOs is its required to have a constant cash flow. Staff salaries, equipment, maintenance, and monthly utilities cost.
250 bucks? How the hell do they justify this, freakin greed abounds.
People were already arguing previously that EOD was pay to win but this new thing takes the cake
The sad part is they kind of had an out. They described it as a "Season pass" in EOD (as well as the new one) -- well there can be multiple seasons. Would it still be scummy? absolutely, but at least there's precedent for multiple season passes. But that wasn't their response.
This is incredible! I cannot WAIT to buy this. I'm hoping they release a $48,000 DLC pack similar to Star Citizen. So hyped for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Already re-remortgaging my house for the third time!!
The idea that any of that stuff is worth $250 is bonkers
the kukri is NOT bought from an asset store...
this is clear misinformation. There is plenty to be mad at them about, but its easily debunkable that the knife asset was not developed in house.
Its like saying that all of the guns are bought assets, just because other people have made such assets as a third party...
they did not buy that asset, the vertices/mesh do not match. the textures are not at all the same.
Its a United Cutlery m48 Kukri... of course they both look the same at first glance...
its like being mad that someone drew a circle, because someone else is selling an circle that looks very similar over on some third party website...
Love how it went from "AA" to "AAA" game titles, and everything has just got worse and went P2W and mirco transactions.
Just your daily reminder we are FAST approaching another video game crash
Never thought I'd see the day where other companies want to be like CIG with Star Citizen and the best and most honest Free to Play business models were Halo, Rocket League and Fortnite.
One thing that really boils me, is there's a mod out there that's been around a long time. Single player tarkov, BSG hates it. so they're charging $250 for something thats available for even the standard edition. one caveat to that mod is you risk getting your account banned.
A couple weeks ago I was considering buying in to tarkov and after a read on the forums and reddit I got some insight into how the devs treat the community and decided against making a purchase, now I see I dodged a bullet and a major one at that. It all makes sense why they abandoned the steam release
I miss the days where thier were no dlcs, or the early days of which dlcs were free
Greed is running rampant in the gaming industry. And devs will continue to do things like this because as gaming becomes more mainstream it’s attracting people who don’t know or care about these predatory practices.
They were doing better man! They introduced a somewhat decent recoil rework, a bunch of nice QOL mechanics, adding new weather, Ground Zero, etc. and then they do this. They were making things seem bright, and now they screw over the player base again
ay whats up
I have been a daily tarkov player for years now. Haven't even thought of loading in since all this nonsense was announced. It is that simple. We made Nikita a millionaire, now he's riding off into the sunset. What about the ultimate game Tarkov was supposed to be funding? Poof.
Played since Jan 2017, EoD since day 1.
Uninstalled yesterday.
“Hahaha….look familiar?” Helldivers academy is always accepting new cadets for Super Earth and managed democracy. Best part? Everything even beginning weapons are viable at all levels and you can unlock everything in game without paying for more than the base game minus a couple cosmetic items. We are always accepting new divers
Have they been this corrupt and dirty down to their core all this time? We spent 6 plus years defending them, bringing people in giving this game attention and keeping it alive and this is what we get? A boot to the face a stab in the back for all the loyalty we gave them? I put a few thousand hours into this game and even came back to them when they falsely banned me, took them 2 months to finally look into it. I don't know what can we do to help when there are already idiots buying the new edition. $350 canadian is a goddamn joke for a game. This is some of the most disappointing news for gaming I ever heard I was a huge fan of Tarkov, now I cant follow these ideologies they put down.
Ive said it.... ill keep sayin it. When people stop giving these companies money, we will see better more ethical companies rise up in the market. As long as you buy their crap, your telling the market "PLEASE, more crap." Even watching creators play it hurts you. Because they make money from you watching, and your views tell him to spend more on the game to keep playing. Stop paying, stop watching. They will be forced to even sell the IP and someone smart will make the game you wish would be made. Otherwise we will keep getting this crap.
What we see was predictable. Diablo told the market, " we will pay good money for crap." So of course more companies obliged. We haven't seen the end. It doesnt matter what you say online, when you keep giving companies your time and money.
Thank you. You covered this well. It's sad. I loved this game and want to be able to love it still. But corporations don't apologize and change. :(
I've never understood the obsession with EFT and extraction games. The entire premise loop seems absolutely pointless and endless; enter war zone with gear, get gear, get out with gear, store gear, go back in with less gear, get out with more gear, store gear, get back in... you get the point.
Also, the game has this graphical fuzz that makes it look like shit. The only good thing about the game is the gun modification.
The devs at Gray Zone Warfare are smart af by taking advantage of this Tarkov situation and opening early access tomorrow.
Nobody should be charging you money for an offline solo-co-op mode. That’s just grotesque! It should be free for EVERYONE!
I bought a one year 76 subscription on sale and i wont need it anymore after filling my stash with crafting material.
ALL customers who bought the 150 thing can now SUE for false advertising! GET EM!
I have considered playing the game many times, but just didn't think i had the time to learn all the information about gun, attachment, ammo etc.
but now im glad i didn't get the game.
