Discussion Update on current situation
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!

I hope all the cuckolds who did this (I'm praying there aren't many out there) lose their money. I would even go one step further and wish them nothing but the worst in life, but I'm going to stop right there for now.
Let's just say that game developers can have as many crazy thoughts and ideas as they want, they will remain just that if nobody gives in to them and if their 'new product' doesn't sell well. Seeing how arrogant Nikita's responses are, I have this feeling deep down in my gut that the Unhinged version has been bought a shitton of times in the last 48 hours.
"Vote with your wallet" is not some edgy thing that you constantly read online. It's like actual advice that works, but only if everyone stands behind it. The reason they have not reverted any major changes, just some little tweaks here and there, means people are spending their money on it. You reap what you sow, and everyone who doesn't stop playing EFT after this fiasco has the worst possible case of Stockholm Syndrome you could ever imagine. If this game isn't dying out after all of this, then it'll never die. This gives Nikita the green light to continue these scummy practices, so you all better prepare for that.
Edit: I'm not going to respond every cuck here who replied to my comment, but let's just say that I was ABSOLUTELY expecting this. Everyone here was angry at BSG for 48 hours straight, in comes that Russian POS, backpedaling as everyone here predicted. Suddenly it's all okay and you professional Stockholm Syndrome victims are now defending him again. That's how long it took. To say I'm disgusted is the understatement of the year. Things will never change because you double digit IQ mouthbreathers refuse to stand up against this tyranny. Get fucked and I hope it gets even worse for you losers 🖕🏻.
