    The problem isn’t that it’s pay to play, it’s that they already paid to play and they don’t want to pay again

      And let’s not ignore the absolutely batshit bananas bonkers price tag. $250 for one new mode in an existing game?

      I need to know where the execs that greenlit this get their cocaine. They must be getting amazing prices to get enough to make that seem like a reasonable idea.

        Nikita has a history of bad ideas but this one takes the cake hands down, and in normal Nikita fashion… his response is fuck you im gonna do what I want and you can’t do anything about it.

        I long ago tired of Nikitas antics and stopped playing tarkov since he kept making it worse and worse with the excuse of fighting cheaters instead of just joining up with an effective anti-cheat company. Also the fact they put the game on sale IMMEDIATELY after every ban wave is just too obvious

          That combined with the ever increasing desperation to stay relevant so they don’t fall into Putin’s bad graces and all get conscripted.

          They are Russian, so it’s probably a mix of vodka and amphetamines.

          Do svidanya. Vodka soda.

        They probably were confident people would buy it since almost everyone that plays the game has the 150 dollar edition for all the pay to win aspects. I’ve never seen another game where so much of the player base had the most expensive edition of the game
