    Nikita's still ignoring the fact that EOD was promised ALL SUBSEQUENT DLCs. He can talk as long as he wants about it being "too expensive" to give PVE to them but he SOLD it with the product clearly defined and is now breaking that. this isn't a disagreement it's unlawful.

      Online vs offline? IDK, but the clear solution with expensive servers is to use direct player hosted servers. However, game devs have stopped supporting this over the last decade. Solution? Stop buying all live service games that don't support user hosted servers. We're here because people kept buying it. Don't like it, stop buying it.

      Spt runs servers on your machine. BSG is against that for some reason and will have the matches be online even if "offline". Hence why they claim its costly and it is but that's just poor choice. Clean your code up so deploying binaries for servers to clients isn't something you feel worried to do

Which I mean, everyone still paid the 150, they have that money. If they misused that money and can't deliver on the dlc promise, then that's not the players fault that's theirs. I don't play tarkov thankfully, but I have watched a shit ton of it. Sad to see such a cool idea die because of a dumbass company.

    I am continually astounded by the remarks of how allegedly expensive this whole PvE mode is. *The base game has already had an "offline" PvE practice raid mode within the base version for ages* , and has been fine. Like... how hard is it to implement a feature where you can invite a friend/party member into an "offline" raid and then maybe just add a little shit to the mode or whatever to make it special?
    Logically speaking, it just doesn't make any possible sense how it could be such a ridiculously effortful task to put behind a paywall. Let alone a $250 paywall, yeah gtfoh with that.

    I’m not angry about a price of the new edition because they said there will be a new edition after new year more expensive and unheard edition doesn’t include tarkov arena. Till that point I’m ok but for me EOD edition should include all what unheard edition and arena. About that radio device in my opinion it would be a nice add on if also would be possible to get it for free from quest, also It should be a delay like 5 min for friends to rejoin the game and if owner of device dies signal should be lost - it would be nice for teams to save gear after some good pvp - so the winners can loot everything but whoever would be recall shouldn’t be able to help the team to win the fight.

    I'm not a tarkov player or a lawyer, but being that a lot of this stuff was promised to players that bought the previous $150 version and then the product page was retroactively changed, does this not open them up to lawsuits? That would class as false advertising, right?

    Imma be honest in a few weeks every tarkov streamer will come back and people will play the game again, yes it was THE dumbest move they couldve ever done but that game wont die. You know it, I know it.

    The only reason SPT developers didn't make co-op possible betwen players is because BSG would legally atack them if they do, its specially forbiden to release any SPT mod wich makes co-op possible, wich is realy easy to do for them but can't do it legally cuz BSG

    I love how they say “servers for co-op PVE would be too expensive”, meanwhile Helldivers 2 is 40 bucks, and the only server issue they ever had was they had so many people that they had to buy MORE.
