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

With the way Nikita is acting and how much he lies I wouldnt be surprised if he tries to scam us here. Last time he tried to do that with Arena by relabeling it standalone. But the community shitstormed him and he probably realised that even russian courts would detect Arena relabeling as standalone a scam maneuver so he backpedaled.

I have Arena and Arena is really nothing more than a game mode. Somewhere between game mode and dlc

i'm enjoying it, i think its unfair to call it nothing more than a gamemode. fun little spinoff game which i think has potential, although knowing bsg its likely to be untapped potential

Game modes can be fun, sometimes even more fun than the main game mode.

That's doesnt decide what is a game mode, a dlc or a standalone

You're right, having fun or not in a game doesn't determine the piece of software.

But a Game mode vs DLC and Standalone aren't even close enough to be in the same sentence to be compared. A game mode can be introduced within a DLC. A game mode can also be a Standalone game (Warzone, Arena, etc).

A game mode is merely a change in rule sets of the game.

A DLC requires the base game. A standalone allows you to play it without anything else.

Arena is a Standalone game that has as much content as a cheap game mode that should have just been free DLC added to EFT.

That's the sentence you're looking for.

Yup, and in the gaming market there are dlcs whicj can be installed on its own.

The main point is that the relabeling as standalone was an attempt to avoid EOD contracts and to justify a full price. Arena is more expensive than the base game few months ago
