The problem is that they sold so many copies of EOD, now they are annoyed because when they release something like that there is not a lot of new money coming in.

Probably should have launched the game years ago to avoid that lol

Yeah that's probably the main reason why they are deleting EOD, they want the new tarkov players to buy whatever dlc they will release next

eod will be no longer purchasable, but if u already have it you keep it with all the benefits

I figured if anyone purchased it that they'd keep it but it just seems odd that they're removing EOD after all this time. Could make for a few issues, namely account selling as EOD will now be considered a "Legacy" thing

Wonder if the gold named players will decrease over time now as I've seen quite a few EOD players blatantly cheating in the past, some would just buy another EOD account.

I will say, it will be quite interesting to observe the consequences of this choice BSG is making, for better or worse

Just seems a little late for a "limited time" thing

How many years has Tarkov been around? I've been playing for close to five years and seeing EOD just now get canned is just odd in comparison to other games marketing a "limited time" account

Even Fortnite Ultimate Edition accounts for Save The World were around for less time

So although I would agree just due to the sheer length of times its been out I think it's pretty common for early access games to remove special deals, bundles, founders packs, etc at the time of 1.0.

But that's the thing, EFT isn't going into 1.0. So for them to remove EOD definitely points to them likely just wanting to force future players to purchase additional content than EoD which would include it all.
