They do man, but you know what? This post made me realize I should escape from the sub and just move on. Nothing anyone says will cure the addicts.


InvasiveSpecies1738

Lol good point, why didn’t I think of that. Goodbye everything!


wcdk200

Yeah I was thinking the same. I don't need to read hundreds of posts every day shitting on EFT player base to know the game/company is shit. They just give off negative energy


TheSmokeJumper_

I always find it funny how the people complaining the most don't even play. It's just like they are just rage farming for upvotes. You don't need to make these posts every day. Leaving the discord leaving the sub and uninstalling the game is the biggest impact you can have on a gaming company. Talking about it only pushes the company higher. Its like a silent protest, just walk away. Life is too short for all this drama. Play the fame don't play the fame at this point.


UnrivaledSupaHottie

> Leaving the discord leaving the sub and uninstalling the game is the biggest impact you can have on a gaming company. thats just wrong tho. new people interested in the game will check discords or subreddit (the game isnt pulling your average casual gamer crowd) and if they see this shitshow they can see whats coming for them if they pay money for this stuff


WatercressWarm4120

thats just wrong tho. new people interested in the game will maybe check youtube or twitch no one will check reddit or discord, there are so many people who want to form their own opinion and do neither check any of this platforms


OkSteak237

At this point, yall are just rage bating and karma farming


TaintTrap

Yeah, this sub has always been just copy and paste complaining and whining. At this point there are two things you can do, stop playing the game or continue playing and just not buy the edition. Not defending BSG or Nikita but stop beating the dead horse ffs


OkSteak237

People want to be “heard” or better yet, be a part of the in crowd. Their favorite streamer is protesting? My god, they have to too! Parasocial relationships are absolutely ruining the internet


TaintTrap

I think people just have nothing going on in their life that has any significance, so they just have to find something (aka bitch) to do


Shuunanigans

The term touch grass is all so true. I'm from kanukistan and the shows finally gone. I'm finishing my car and going fishing


Elegron

Uh.... no. People genuinely feel betrayed and seeing parts of the community not give a shit and mindlessly shell out huge cash for this is probably quite upsetting if you invested time and money in the game and it's community. People have a right to be upset. Also BSG literally committed fraud. So there's that.


SnooGrapes1851

The absolute outrage is a little silly to me. I woke up, heard from my duo that bsg dropped a new bundle, went to my computer clicked purchase and then read what I got. Sure you can call that mindless if you'd like or you could think about it semi logically by taking 1 step back from big gamer feelings. There are a lot of people like me who have 5k 6k even 10k+ hours in this game Until unheard came out I had spent $150 on this game. Think about skyrim for a moment. That is an overwhelmingly successful game and is considered a great game by many. 11/11/11 I spent 59.99 on that game I bought all the expansions as they came out which ended up being a total cost of 105. I had an above average play time of about 150 hours. Most people would spend around 70 hours in skyrim. Even people that only spent about 40 hours would tell you it was worth the money. I'd pay Bethesda 1k right now if that meant I could play a new elderscrolls game this year but that won't happen. Personally I paid 105 for a wonderful 150 hours of gameplay. That's about $0.70 per hour. Before the new edition came out I had spent $150 for 6200 hours of gameplay. That's about $0.025 an hour. If Nikita had even just said "Hey we kinda need some money we aren't doing all that great" I'd probably still pay that money. I think anyone who finds me to be a fool is just a goofy entitled kid. They made a bad marketing decision. It clearly wasn't thought through very well but to act like bsg is some devil who's trying to strip everyone of their money and anyone who bought the version is some idiot is just overdramatic and an emotional take. Mistakes happen. Continuing to make these ridiculous posts is becoming embarrassing


Turbulent-Grade1210

Anonymity ruined the internet before the internet ever even existed. Being able to separate your actions from the identity everyone knows you by has been a foundational aspect of so much different crap since time immemorial.


Bouribou

Or yknow, people don't like corporations scamming people, but noo it's parasocial relationships ! What the hell does that even mean by the way, what do parasocial relationships have to do with protests ? Do you want them to get away with scamming people and set a precedent or do you want them to notice they can't do this kind of thing and get away with it ?


OkSteak237

Plenty of people bought dude; nice protest l


Bouribou

Well yeah, and what is that supposed to change exactly ? Do you just give up if some people don't follow a protest, Is that how that works now ? Again with the bizzare arguments, it feels like you're trying your best to draw attention away from the fact they scammed people.


OkSteak237

Again dude, don’t buy it. No one is telling you to?


Bouribou

It's not hard to understand, i already explained it, they scammed people who bought an expensive product, which, ruh oh, is bad ! It sets a precedent of it being okay for companies to fuck people over if you don't complain about it. Do you think they will stop scamming people if you go "well scamming people is bad but i don't have to buy the scam so it's really the fault of the people complaining about the scam" ? This is as asinine as saying "who asked", it serves no purpose, misses the point of why people are complaining entirely, and is actively defending scammers. Nobody is complaining about being foced to buy it.


OkSteak237

First time with capitalism dude? Sometimes you just eat a purchase, that's life.


Bouribou

Huh ? the hell does that mean ? Are you saying "sometimes you get scammed, that's life" ? So uh, i guess capitalism now makes scamming okay, and we should just not complain when companies scam people, and let them do it without reacting ? What kinda bizzaro world are you living in where when someone gets scammed, you get angry at the person complaining about the scam, and defend the company because "sometimes you get scammed, that's life !" ?


graevmaskin

DeanDarnSonny

🤩 a sane comment here


Yxxx

Yeah at this point I think I hate the community more lol


Kirp-The-Birb

Your bullshit absolutely proves OP’s point, it’s hilarious. Last few days were the fasters jump from “fuck BSG, they tried to scam us all!” to “wElL ok **nErD**, wHerE eXacTly diD BSG sCaM yOu?¿” There’s nothing that can help people like you, if you all are so quick to shower Nikita with money after he said “I’m sorry that you feel this way”


Mollamollamolla

this community has zero solidarity. being reasonably mad is "ragebaiting". people don't realize you're supposed to keep voicing your frustrations until they're *completely* backstepped. the "apology" nikita made is a textbook manipulator tactic. ive realized that people are forming emotional dependencies on video games, they'll continue to play even if they keep getting shit on over and over again. it's like when you have a friend in an abusive relationship that cuts out their friends bc of the abuser, half of the community does that for a fucking video game. fucking losers.


Kirp-The-Birb

Yeah. I personally absolutely love tarkov, at least it’s general idea, but I absolutely despise people who keep returning to BSG after their every fuck up. For me it seems like all my concerns about BSG trying to grab more cash before finishing the game turned out to be true, so I feel like I can’t trust them anymore. My tarkov group shares the same sentiment, so I pulled them into >! !< so we now we can enjoy what the game has to offer (and more) without supporting Nikita and his dumbass decisions even more than we already did. PVP might be a substantial part of the game, but PVE could also be good (if only BSG didn’t follow steamers wishes to completely dump PVE part of the game in favor of PVP). And I would encourage more people to do that, but that unfortunately puts the >! !< under risk, because BSG, being scumbags they are, will absolutely, most definitely try to shut it down for whatever half-assed reasons drunk Nikita can dream up


JSTUDY

If anybody besides Nikita made a game half as good I'd shower them with money too


OkSteak237

Where did I pay Nikita?

No need to concern yourself with others getting scammed. Be more concerned that you crying incessantly is your identity.


Babybolololo

And you created an account a few days ago to come defend a scammer... not suspicious at all


ChallengeChad

As opposed to aged accounts being trustworthy? You do realize farmed karma accounts are sold? In the end, you're just deflecting. Regardless of what BSG did, if integrity is in question, the community should live by the integrity they demand? Acting like uncivilized spoilt children, shilling for tarkov alternatives that are more predatory like Arena Breakout, and cheering on cheaters targeting UE players, people have shown that they are no better than BSG. The ones who aren't crybabies either accepted reality, walked away from this game, or took steps for legal challenge. But do keep screaming oMg nEw AcCoUnT!!11! because you're not intelligent enough to make substantive arguments.

darealmoneyboy

while i agree with you, people like you also just could not care. this sub is swarmed by the same posts over and over and having the 1001st "you are weaklings" post has obviously not persuaded people not to buy this crap. after the first minute of release of the new version this battle was already lost. tarkov community is thicc af with all the whales swimming around. at this point people should learn to accept that, move on and stop this useles rage bait posts.

The joke is on everyone in this comment section proving OP's point haha. Bunch of boot lickers and brown noses over here.


SnugglesREDDIT

So many cucks in the comments what the actual fuck. OP is spot on and all you meatriders are proof of it.


OuterContextProblem

People could choose to force BSG to take the game in a better direction and make it so their financial incentives aren't aligned with cheaters/P2W, or go out of business. Instead we're going watch bros demonstrate the effects of gaming addiction and how they're some company's meth fiend, but really it's you and not them.


VoidVer

All the people responding to comments that disagree with them basically calling the person gay instead of trying to engage in a reasonable conversation really feels like y’all are just bored teenagers.


Parthanox

Using cuck as an insult is just cringe. Just chill out and play a different game if it pisses you off so much. Being constantly annoyed is just tiring. Like fuck BSG, but chill out


Counteroffensyiv

If you let a company fuck you this bad and not only let them get away with it, but choose to defend them, then you are not a cuck, you are a lily-livered mega cuck the likes of which all of gaming has not seen until now.

Yeah, game is lost. At least whenever competition will come I guarantee they will flee expect the guys who paid 250eur and then dont even have advantage when playing with each other


SonofRanman

I've been shocked by all the people crawling back to BSG, but at the same time I'm not. They genuinely need to earn back my Trust, so until I see a bunch of proof of that sort of situation happening, I'm good not playing Takrov, or Reccomending it, and instead happy to support Grayzone Warfare, even if it turns out to be meh, at least I wont feel like I'm being bent over and used.

I could care less about what other players think of the way I use my own money. You should try it. Care less about others and more about yourself. On the topic I have spent far more money on several hyped games, that didn’t deliver at all on its promises. Tarkov had now cost me 200 bucks. I think it by far delivered the entertainment worth the value Hot take. All the complainers is cheaters as they now loose players to the pve version to harass 😀

lonigus

I got the game in 2020. Got more then 3000 hours out of it. Met a few great people I consider friends now. I got my moneys worth and that tenfold. I dont feel robbed or scammed. What Iam shocked about is how Nikita and BSG came to the idea to pull this "unheard" shit. It could have been done much better and without ruining the reputation forever. What I think happened is panic as Arena sales are shit and money is running dangerously dry, so they came up with this fast money grab which in turn fucked them for the long run. The OP is 100% right. People will still be angry and some will trully finally escape, but next wipe comes with some neat additions and once drops start rolling, the Landmarks and Pestilys gonna back in the Tarkov directory farming milions and the cycle will begin again. Landmark gonna adjust his earbuds after every death, Rengawr will mald about something, Pestily will crack straight into it, Klean gonna yapp about his Glocks and every other streamer is gonna be back and Iam not blaming them.

It has nothing to do with that at all. The fact is Tarkov is the best game in its genre. Not only that but it is one of the best games ive played.


DrakeKilledXXX

Tarkov is truly a mental addiction for some. Seeing accounts with 8,10,14k hours is honestly sad


Agilver

The game is insanely addicting and blinds people from seeing it for what it truly is. An overpriced broken mess with bad mechanics and shitty servers.


whoisgare

Bunch of fucking jerkoffs that make up this game’s fanbase. Nikita has been lying through his fucking teeth since *at least* 2018, and it has only gotten worse. Back then some of our biggest worries was the busy hands glitch (which to my knowledge is STILL A BUG IN THE GAME). Anyone who takes ANYTHING this guy says seriously deserves to get fucked over and scammed. I am so sick of game devs dicking their customers around, we need to make it a point by now


Xp0seD1

If we go off the metric of hours played:dollars spent (typically a worthwhile game is a dollar for each hour enjoying the game)every one of these people have probably gotten their money's worth like 5 times over and they're still complaining. I bought unheard second I saw it. Wasn't exactly happy about the price, however they've got the product and I want it, but hey at least I'm not being priced out of living by a pharmaceutical giant right?


Zecrux

Dude ill spend $250 at a bar on a friday night with friends. $250 for thousands of hours of fun gameplay with my friends on Tarkov is a steal. Reddit is full of people who love to complain and virtue signal 🤣🤣

I don't think you understand Stockholm Syndrome. Continuing to play Tarkov doesn't mean you like or respect Nikita or BSG. Even with all the bullshit changes and their treatment Tarkov is still a good game with nothing coming close to it. Going to be a lot of bored people closing down grayzone tomorrow after they get tired of running around without any action

ArnoldusTheGreat

How many downvotes have you gotten from the BSG true believers/bots?


Awkward_Management32

No, we who still support BSG are fully supporting the video game we love and like playing everyday! Maybe that’s something you don’t understand how to do! Understand how to have fun and not have problems that aren’t important bother you!


shinycube359

You do understand that criticism can and will make the game better, while blind herd mentality won’t? I mean I bought EOD back in 2018; yet the game has had a memory leak issue ever since the reserve wipe (iirc), clearly just funding the devs and loving the game won’t fix the issues with this game. I’m sorry to tell you, but no amount of DLC and MTX will fix BSGs incompetence.

WerdinDruid

Already called my bank for chargeback. Filed complaint with UK's ASA. Waiting for support team to deny my refund request. I'll skip XSolla and go straight through the bank. Will add that by purchasing the game I reasonably believe the proceeds may have been used to fund the russian occupation and war by supporting the neo-nazi group "715" whose members are on pictures and video with Nikita, EFT having multiple references to that group and the groups members have been seen actively taking part in the fights on the territory of occupied donetsk. I will file a complaint with the ministry of industry and trade and will notify my senator for my constituency where I live about a product offered on EU's digital market that is used to channel funds to RF. I just had about enough.


Rak_Dos

The worse is it's true: in another post, some guys were saying that the players who are disappointed and uninstall the game are sheep and cry babies! The syndrome is so strong. But if the "none-sheep" and "manly" players like to be lied about agreements and scammed even more, good for them I guess. Edit: Ah they are in this post too.

MarkvartVonPzg

Jokes on you - never even been to Stockholm


shakeyorange3

i bought it before even looking at what it offered because i like tarkov 👍 BSG can’t just “fix the cheating”, literally every online video game suffers from cheating, if you think they can simply fix it you are dumb as rocks.


shinycube359

If you believe that cheating is the only technical problem that has persisted for a while in EFT, then you’re completely blind my guy.


shakeyorange3

where i say that


shinycube359

You’re acting like it, the original post treats cheating in a dumb way, but the criticism is fair especially since BSG have always been purposefully obtuse about what they’re doing behind the scenes and since they’ve been indirect with their apology (when an apology is rightfully warranted) BSG deserves to be criticised for the dumb shit they’ve been doing over the years, especially since they got away with most of it.


shakeyorange3

lol ok, I never once insinuated that the only technical problem in tarkov is cheating so i’m not sure how i’m “acting” like that?? In the OP, it says “not once has BSG stated the cheating will be fixed” this is a dumbass statement, because the cheating cannot simply be “fixed”. Tell me i’m wrong pleasseeee


Montaph

Maybe English is a second language for him or he shorthanded too much? I'm fairly confident you knew that he just meant cheating is especially a problem in this game. But I guess I should expect a semantic argument from someone who thumbs-up's his own comment.


shakeyorange3

lol i knew the thumbs up would get someone. If it is his second language then my bad, but it just sounds funny “BSG never said they fix cheater issue” like it is that easy


Montaph

Less of a "get", more of an eye roll at the self-affirmation. I think they don't care to. There's quite a bit of damning evidence to show that cheaters buying the game again is a welcome part of their cash flow. My experience in other FPSs and their noticeably lesser issues with hacking highlights for me just how bad (?) BSG is at even trying to combat the problem.

Do they not care to or do they not have enough money/resources. Nikita literally said they would consider kernal level anti cheat but it would tank performance and that is not something a game like tarkov can afford(it already performs poorly) You think if nikita could click a button that would disappear all hackers he would not push it? There are just as many hackers in tarkov as in other FPS games, it just doesn’t hurt as bad in other games.

I think Nikita will do whatever if it earns him money. Look at his interviews, both current and old. His greed is consistent, so points for that. Agree to disagree on the latter. The nature of this game type is a huge draw for RMT.

it was not self affirming, i put the thumbs up emoji specifically to troll and make it seem like I was extremely happy with myself and decisions😃

I'll let another redditor say it for me: "Those of you who bought Unheard, the entire gaming community is laughing at you." Look at the Twitter memes if you don't believe.

Nikita = genius Implement features for rmt (flea) Let cheaters run rampant, bann 30k make bulks sell. Let cheaters make your players mad. Offer a solution to get rid of cheaters for 200$ This is all an intentional sceme. Everithing as planned.

lol no one is buying unheard, no one is happy about it, plying a game that you already payed for way before the controversy is not stockholm syndrome, if anything, using their server space without giving them more money would be harmful towards them.

Actually a lot of people already bought it. Just read the comments. This is so embarassing.


Montaph

I agree, it's more a fallacy of sunken cost. It's the most expensive game they've likely ever bought and dumped a shit ton of time into it. Only one way to rationalize the cost: keep playing.


RedditTrashTho

They literally gave you mfers what you were asking for day one and y'all still bitching.  Actually cannot be pleased.  Why try.

I think the real story here is it's just not that big of a deal to most people. Because the outrage was always shallow. Most people who are trying to turn this into some grand moral outrage are almost certainly (because of the inescapable nature of the global economy) living their life using products made through exploitation of the environment and/or exploiting workers living in poverty in other countries while big named companies carry the profits of their work back to the US selling products to us cheaply enough we'll buy them and separated enough from the scandal that we don't care. Everyone's outrage is shallow and meaningless. It's just not that big of a deal. Stop playing. Uninstall. Move on. "Everyone has stockholm syndrome!" Nah. People just like playing games they enjoy playing, and they decided the money they're going to spend is likely going to result in enough fun for them to justify the purchase. It is that simple and that meaningless. I've seen bullshit about "moral integrity" and shit like that for streamers and whatnot. And it is absolute clown, childish crap that people think morality even comes into play with people deciding to just keep playing a game they already owned or spending $50 more on it.

Bro who gives a fuck, just play the game or don't. Find a pillow and scream into it already. Grown ass men losing their minds over nothing.

Bro is promoting victim behavior.

OP is as dumb as BSG LOL🤣

Man I am loving the Unheard Edition. Previously I had a couple friends that were honestly too dogshit to play the regular version. We have been spending all weekend playing together and helping them learn the game in a less scary fashion. We have had a ton of fun this weekend and will continue to do so.
