@Sniffer94 "The premium 'promise' doesn't bother me." Yeah that's the issue, you don't seem to understand the justified criticism against the devs, and you're just glazing tbh. You've yet to present a single logical argument for them overcharging and lying to their playerbase.
@Sniffer94 So that justifies P2W? Or at least "P2-experience the full game even though you already paid a huge premium with the promise of never having to pay more again". Do you not understand the drama? Or are you just rage baiting me?
@Sniffer94 I still think it does. Any and all possible in game advantages should be available to ALL players to make sure they have the same starting point. Could you imagine if Counter Strike had P2W guns and util that did extra damage in competitive modes? That would break the entire meta
@Sniffer94 Then you’re part of a very small minority of players who can afford $200 a year to get cosmetic items in a game they enjoy. Just because you’re fine with extra transactions doesn’t mean it’s a good business practice or something the gaming scene needs more of.
@Sniffer94 Once again you completely ignore all of my talking points and bring up P2W and in game items when the entire drama is based around deceitful business practices and overpricing content that was ”supposed” to be free for people who ALREADY paid a large sum.
@Sniffer94 What does this have to do with anything I said in the previous tweet☠️CoD has nothing to do with the Tarkov devs beeing greedy and deceitful.
@Sniffer94 7 The uproar is not about the new content per se, but about the principles of fairness, trust, and respect. Dismissing it as "cringe" overlooks these crucial aspects and the legitimate grievances of a community that feels wronged.
@Sniffer94 5 Developers may feel inclined to exploit their communities for financial gain. While it might be true there are few games with the same grindable, hardcore appeal as Escape From Tarkov, that doesn’t justify accepting or excusing the unethical business shit they're doing.
@Sniffer94 1 Your suggestion that the outrage is "a bit cringe" dismisses the genuine frustration and betrayal felt by long-term supporters of the game. When players invested in the $150 Edge of Darkness (EoD) edition, they did so under the promise of receiving all subsequent DLCs for free.
