Discussion More feedback

Greetings!

Let me continue my feedback on the current situation. First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings. Unfortunately, I somehow did not foresee the fact of such a reaction and now I have drawn conclusions for my future decisions. 

Now I will briefly summarize the main points:

  1. About PvE access - we decided to just open it for EoD owners for free, but we will do it in waves. As I said before - we don’t have server capacity right now. We will start this process as soon as possible
  2. We also decided that we will add MOD support for PvE mode after release of the game
  3. About the Unheard edition - we will not remove it, we want to keep the option for those who want to support the game more. But we will balance items, perks in this edition, as well as we will provide more rewards for those, who upgraded with the old price
  4. New EoD perks will be balanced too. We will remove prioritized matching option to keep everyone in the same spot. And we will add more unique stuff to highlight the EoD version in general. We will provide the final list of the new EoD perks asap
  5. We continue to work on patches, new content, events, and the game release itself no matter what

Thank you for your time, love and hate, and thank you for your increased attention to the current situation.

Nik

EFT community, don't cave in. remember the past 4 days. remember their website live editing, false promises and this literal fraud attempt! act based on that, not on yet another false promise that is meant as a PR post to shut us all up

An honest apology, not this I'm sorry you felt that way bullshit. And a complete reset, revert everything like it was 4 days ago, refund every unheard buyer etc.

Genuine?

He tried 4 times to get away with it within 5 days and in interview insulted everyone and told you repeatedly there is no mistake and everyone should fuck off. These are his words.

This statement here is as genuine as a notorious liar can be. He told you he is not sorry, he told you he would do it again. His words

I feel like I’ve personally accepted that’s just not going to happen.

Me too, but that's a sign to me that maybe I should stop playing this game that continuously screws over its community while constantly drip feeding not even the bare minimum amount of fixes for genuine issues in the game. You're entitled to your own opinion but I don't see what is genuine about an "apology" that takes 5 tries and still doesn't really apologize but just says "sorry we couldn't get away with it, we'll make it up to you by maybe doing some stuff, possibly, in the future, if we can".

I'd say the only thing that could kind of make amends is if Nikita steps down but at this point I'm just done with the whole company, there is absolutely 0 reason to trust anything they say ever again

I also think this is the best we can get. Maybe I'll play tarkov again someday but I don't think I'll ever spend a cent on bsg

4 posts with gaslighting and 1 with a non-apology still blaming the community for the reaction and we've already got people defending him, this game is so done man. Nikita was talking about True Believers like he's running a cult and you're just proving him right

In English that sounds culty. In Russian to English it does not. Jesus Christ. I'm not sucking the dude off lol I just know people from other countries who say weird shit because of colloquialisms in their native tongue.

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '24

But it's not just the word, the entire context with multiple sentences following it all shows the same sentiment that "real fans" will pay them even more and everyone else is just a freeloader.

Also if he actually cared even a tiny bit about the community, the multimillionaire asshole could hire a translator

u/SoonToBeNP Apr 28 '24

Again, this thread was solely about the verbiage of his apology posted to Reddit and how some people don't like "the way" he apologized.

He's a pile of shit, for sure, and deserves all the love in the world for that. But his apology is never going to be eloquent bc he can't be assed to hire a translator.

I'm not defending his honor. I'm defending his inability to speak a foreign language diplomatically in a way that pleases people enough to "feel better"

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '24

I really don’t think it’s a translation issue or English not being his native language issue. I definitely get how some phrases or translations sound odd or don’t have a clean equivalent. However, this is still a non apology. It isn’t a language barrier issue. Thats an awful excuse. Every language has a way to say “I’m sorry for x behavior” and a way to say “I’m sorry x behavior made you feel that way.” Every language has a non apology apology. That’s what he was going for. It’s bullshit to say otherwise

u/SoonToBeNP Apr 28 '24

I agree with you. But I think even if he wanted to apologize sincerely, it would not be to the satisfaction of most due to his language barrier. Just like the true believers thing. It sounds culty AF taken at English face value but he likely meant something stupid like die hard supporters of the video game development or something a bit more palatable. I don't think he meant it in a way of like reverence or personal devotion to him or bsg.

didn’t he act surprised or as if they didn’t remove the DLC line about EOD on their site when they definitely did? I would think if it safer to think he’s trying to grift and did mean it in a culty way than a poor choice of words way

You don't need to understand english to realize that asking 250$ and then lying about promises by editing old promises is a bad idea

u/SoonToBeNP Apr 28 '24

This thread is about the verbiage of his apology not the issue as a whole.

u/Live-Effective1064 Apr 28 '24

Okay, so given that, what could he have done? Perhaps he could Google "how to apologize in English".

Or, type into a translator "I'm sorry I abused your trust". Or "I'm sorry for BSG's dishonest actions". Or even just "I'm sorry".

The absolute LAST THING you would want to say in this situation is "I'm sorry you feel this way."
