This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. “Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out”

    There is definitely a buzz, the SPT (single player Tarkov mod) servers have been constantly overloaded for days now

      Yes but the comment i replied to is insinuating that EFT active players are up despite the community backlash

        I believe it. Multiple friends of mine updated to play and see the streets changes when this press cycle hit, a few even shared footage of suspicious noiseless head/eyes deaths while they were in enclosed spaces. If it has been long enough, just the words escape from tarkov will send some fans back, negative experiences suspended.
