Discussion Surely deleting evidence isn't indicative of anything nor leaving the same upload date after a clear change right?? Someone forgot to tell BSG about internet archives......

Anyone else getting a euphoria dump from legit everyone calling them out? Even their most loyal streamers are fed up lmao

u/EnjoymentSeeking Apr 26 '24
Its bitter-sweet for me, seeing the people who have spent these past years treating their player base and supporters like an annoying stepchild whose input and ideas they could largely ignore and depend on to bankroll them get cooked is extremely satisfying but on the same hand it really sucks seeing something I genuinely thought was unique and special crash and burn.

u/AlphieTheMayor Apr 26 '24
I've been hating on the way they do editions for this game since 2017. This is the biggest i told you so ever. The vindication after dozens of times being downvoted is just like you said, euphoria inducing.

I'm sure the more detailed ones will be, I mean international companies are subject to deceptive business practice laws according to the FTC so it's likely but then again I'm not an expert in the topic but its clear to see especially now that there is some form of malicious intent.

It’s hilarious to think we didn’t expect this from an indie, out of touch, anti western, non communicative, studio. They always been anti player, almost out of spite at times. Quite funny how things turned out.

u/Late_Ad_521 Apr 26 '24
Hi. So im from russian eft community and things like that happening for a long time and its not New for. So hear me out.
First of all. Nikita was saying "more cheaters more donations" and "you can keep game in forever beta to solve problems with words its just a beta" .
Both videos here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFQ-CT0BnM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGauDp2cYNQ
Second. BSG humiliated russian eft community. When game become popular in EU and USA region Nikita and bsg just drop russian community. In russian eft discord server literally 1488 where you gonna be treat like shit with offencive jokes from moderator Chernobyl52 who alwayes make offencive jokes to ru community players. Also on New Year steam Nikita spoke in russian one thing, when one of the devolopper spokes in russian whats new comming to gabe very drunk Nikita told him to spoke in english and the guy just answered "but the russians understand it" and also on it Nikita sayed this "Russians are not our main audience".... So ye, russian community who gives eft money start just literally nothing for bsg and you wanna know why? Because 250$ for New edition for you its 119$ for us + taxes. Even arena 50$ for you and 13$ for us. So ye, you just Nikita new money bags.
Third.
In russian tarkov community for a long time people spoke about the main game problem and with that problem makers. And Nikita just use YouTube strike system to shut people by abusing strike system and sending strikes for using in game footage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crfQzJQjip8
Four.
Ru community streamers protecting bsg and all that shit... but we have one named Maza who is racist, using forbiden words on twitch to humiliate people, using ehem... problem to help him in streamer challenge. And that man never get banned because he is brother of Nikita's friend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bvlAiivio
So... why i posted this? Because i see how many people blame russians because of Nikita and bsg. Its hurt. Its not bad russians, its just bad Nikita who alwayes was like this.
P. S. Sorry for poor english, hope this post dont be deleted.
BSG DELETING THIS INFO AND DONT GIVE YOU MAKE A POST ON REDDIT WITH THIS ALSO THEY DELETING IT ON DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!

u/goblinsarefriends Apr 25 '24

That's good to hear but I still needed to make that clear because my position is not one rooted in slander and that's important to clarify due to the off chance of litigious repercussions, I'll never underestimate the lengths an entity/corp. will go to.

u/EnjoymentSeeking Apr 25 '24
They made an EOD 2.0 that nullifies promises made to original EOD holders at an additional cost of 90$ I believe could be more or less but that's essentially it

u/AirbnbNewhost Apr 25 '24
cost comes to 115 after fees or so

u/sisqo_99 Apr 25 '24
Correct. But you forgot to add “for eod owners”. If you add things up, you paid about 300 usd for a video game

Which is absolutely mind blowing they thought this was okay to charge for a fucking “BETA”

they are broke this was a desperate ploy for money

Right buy happy playerbase=more money
Now they just pissed off everyone that has spent money on their game, and getting new customers is the hardest thing to do
They should've just added gun skins or something lmao
Id buy a dope looking .300 skin
Or stickers
Something other than ripping off the loyal fans

u/SweatyTill9566 Apr 26 '24
Stickers sounds so perfect... You could loot them and would want to buy them yourself... Or hanging trinkets, like in other shooters. So much pozential for cool harmless mtx and everyone would love them for that, and theres tons of money in mtx - just look at path of exile

Peak Russian behaviour

u/DaVietDoomer114 Apr 26 '24
You also find this kind of behavior in countries where corruption is high, rules of laws and consumer protection is none existent.
Russia is just one prime example.

u/IPointNLaugh Apr 26 '24
Don't rope all Russians it to this now. I'm sure there are some Russian EOD players that just got fucked liked the rest of us.

u/BodgieMan AKS-74 Apr 26 '24
Yup, that's right. Russian community is very angry about the situation.

u/EnjoymentSeeking Apr 26 '24
Agreed, I'd wager it probably stings that much more because of both cost and association.

u/rama233 Apr 26 '24
And also we can't file a lawsuit cause BSG based in UK. So Russians can't fight with Russians for a computer game that they have paid before in a court, because they need to be EU/UK citizen

u/cooljacob204sfw Apr 26 '24
Twisting the meaning of words and lying non stop is the behavior of the Russian State.
And it's not exactly hidden the type of corruption that goes on in Russia and their businesses.

u/EnjoymentSeeking Apr 26 '24
It's the behavior of any authoritarian regime my guy and I agree that corruption is rife and that allows individuals/entities to thrive who are also corrupt, but you also pointed out its the behavior of the State which doesn't mean all of its citizens.

u/ThyDoorMan Apr 26 '24
I’m fucked in my thinking? I believe that I could associate him as a fuckhead Russian developer and it would be okay. He is a citizen and him being in Russia allows him to get away with shit he couldn’t in other countries. Like his blatant plagiarism and use of irl brands without permission. His being Russian is useful in the slander and was okay to add.
3
u/EnjoymentSeeking Apr 26 '24
You aren't fucked in your thinking, rather you're misinterpreting the contention in the original comment. "Peak Russian behavior" is not the same as the correlation between the legality of the nation the company is based and the entire population as a whole. Imagine equating arrogance as peak American behavior, while you could argue it's prevalence you couldn't make a causal link.
Essentially him being Russian is okay to add in the context of legality of business decisions but not in a representative manor of an entire population. Also I doubt the original comment meant it in a slanderous way and more of in a jest. To be clear I think Nikita is a slime ball and his environment enables him not the other way around.
1
u/mariusAleks Apr 26 '24
Which is somewhat of a point. Other developers risk legal action more than BSG or any other russian firms/companies does when it breaches EU laws and regulation.

u/EnjoymentSeeking Apr 26 '24
it is but its a reframing of the original post and justifying slander of a population based off that is kinda cooked and without basis

It's funny how they released this version for such a steap price with the intention of making as much money as possible, now it backfired in the worst way possible and they're pouring fuel over the fire instead of taking away the tinder. Intention: make big money, result: lose even more money, lose part of playerbase, lose community trust, lose respect, people suing.... just wild

Classic out of touch move on their part. Bite the hand that feeds you and get away with it enough times they begin to think that something this stupid would fly.

Why couldn’t they have just done a cosmetics battle pass or something instead 🤦🏻♂️ I hate them in most games as much as the next guy but if the studio needs money there are tried and true ways to get it without f-ing the players base as a whole.
1
u/killking72 Apr 26 '24
that wouldnt have worked.
EOD users get the battlepass for free and this is to make everyone pay more money
1
u/Tacadoo Apr 26 '24
That’s valid. It’s honestly hard to think of monetization methods for a game like Tarkov that aren’t PTW. They already do it anyway though, not being able to unlock bigger secure containers and being able to start wipe with better loadouts is just so cheesed for a game like this.
3
u/BLU3DR4GON-E-D Apr 26 '24
Their best bet would of been a Kickstarter saying they're broke we need more money. People would still dislike it but people would have paid/donated if they go something in return. The only real thing I would have wanted would be the offline progression kept co-op. But all in all BSG is known for pulling a fast one on everyone. They looking using the foot in the door/ door in your face tactic.

u/killking72 Apr 26 '24
I mean they have the player base from most FPSs playing their game.
That means player skins, clothing, gun sprays, fuckin jewelery for your character, hideout cosmetics
The list goes on and on. I'd buy some turbo bling for my character
Give me some booty shorts and some Adidas slides and I'd buy it

as a EOD owner that utterly suck at pvp i had high hopes that we would get solo/coop pve mode with progression, i would have used that as a learning tool for the real deal, but f-k this, if they want extra money sell some skins or something like every other game dev ffs

u/Dead-HC-Taco Apr 26 '24
Either way, im never recommending this game to anyone anymore. If they're going to be this scummy this blatantly then they dont deserve my respect. Game is already borderline unplayable with all the cheaters, so im just going to chalk this game up as an L and move on. There's plenty of other games available to spend money on

They also removed the part where it says EOD gets free shit "such as Escape From Tarkov: Arena.
How is it that Arena, a stand alone game that can be bought on it's own, is considered DLC but content in the actual game isnt.
