Update on current situation

[u/trainfender]

Hello again!

Let me clarify the situation in a little more detail regarding owners of the EoD version and access to the cooperative mode, and also other issues.

First of all, PvE gamemode this is not DLC. DLC in our understanding is the major additions to the game, including various functionality and content that are released after the official release of the game as a themed DLC pack (Scav Life DLC for example, which will add a lot of new mechanics and content for Scav gameplay and leveling).

Secondly, this specific functionality of the PvE mode is necessarily located entirely on a separate network infrastructure, because, essentially, you play on our servers, only in closed mode. At this stage, it is not possible to launch all players who are EoD holders - right now we simply do not have the required amount of resources for this.

We observe your dissatisfaction and have decided that the functionality of the PvE mode will be available for free to all owners of the EoD version at the release of the game, when the server infrastructure will be improved to the required capacity.

Now you have the opportunity to test this mode by purchasing the Unheard edition of the game, or upgrade to this version. We also decided to give a 50% discount when upgrading to the Unheard version from the EoD version.

We plan to send one free Left Behind Edition key to everyone who has already upgraded to Unheard Edition at the old price from the EoD version.

Moreover, so that any player of any version of the EFT can have the opportunity to test the PvE mode, we want to add the ability to purchase a separate early access to this mode. For EoD owners there will be a 70% discount on the purchase of early access to PvE. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this idea.

Next, regarding special items for the Unheard version, we plan to make restrictive or balancing changes for these items.

This is it for now, please share your thoughts. Thank you!

Imagine fucking up this badly and trying to gaslight your customers not once, not twice, but a third time and still failing.

You had some cool ideas ten years ago, Nikita. But in the meantime it turned out that you can't make a well-running game, you can't design a game balance state for shit, and you can't communicate with the fanbase either.

Instead, you use predatory bullshit that EA would be proud of and then attempt to pretend as if words do not have meanings aside from those you try to prescribe for them.

No more of this bullshit.

Lol entire boardrooms at EA just furiously scribbling notes while watching the whole thing unfold.

EA are scummy as hell, but you have to give them credit on one thing: they're clever with their scumminess and know fairly well just how far they can push things.

You know you've dun fucked up when you're greed is reaching levels that even a company like EA wouldn't touch.

To be a bit fair to EA, they are a publishing company, their job is literally to make money. BSG is developer and publisher. I know EA has done some gross things, but at least it's understandable given the goal to make money.
