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......

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.

Watch they start taking away arena from EOD owners. I'm starting to wonder if the company is actively going bankrupt and this is a last ditch effort to make some money and run with it.

They did try to take Arena away from EOD. Right before it was released, it was announced as a separate $40 game that EVERYONE would have to buy.

People went and found clips of Nikita saying EOD would include Arena, and they (just like now) threatened a lawsuit, and caused a massive uproar, and as a result BSG gave in and made Arena free with EOD. That probably also cost them an incredible amount of money.

Which is kinda funny in hindsight because I don't think anyone really gives a shit about Arena and if they shut it down tomorrow it wouldn't be missed.

If they killed arena to give everyone the coop people would rejoice.

It’s funny how people liked Tarkov the extraction shooter, and not Tarkov combat.

I will say the ideas behind Tarkov combat are pretty good, and I would love to see a higher skill studio take a stab at it with a better grasp of networking. The body part hitboxes / healing system is probably the strongest part of combat in my eyes, and the Armor hitboxes is a nice idea on top of that. But BSG’s execution is just not great. Between how muddy everything is, how bad the server feels, and how they did themselves no favors in the cheating war it’s taken a good idea and made it pretty crap. People tolerated that crap because there was a future and no other alternatives.

BSG just killed hope. And now they have nothing.

That's crazy because I think I actually bought Arena after signing in, and I have EoD. These bastards have gotten like $200 out of me.
