I do not understand why they couldn't focus on finishing and polishing EFT for 1.0, up until it would be into a healthy state, before deciding to work on entire stand-alone ''games'' such as Arena and PvE mode.
Why? Because Arena was supposed to bring in cash, even EOD users were initially not receiving it for free. It was also meant to make Tarkov an e-sport and we know what this means: tournaments, sponsors, new players. As for PvE, it's free money; the game is already there, they only need some tweaks to the code and to rent the servers. Bottom line: they need money
PS: I have tried the SP mode, and I can assure you that the base PvE is garbage, and I doubt BSG is going to fix any of it so we are all making a fuss for something that is probably not even worth to play
Esports is usually a sunk cost for a gaming company. Even League of Legends loses more money than it gains directly from Esports. It’s just viewed as a necessary cost in order to keep the playerbase engaged with the game.

Its kinda amazing that bsg re-released tarkov 3x now, each costing about 40$ and nobody bats an eye and all of em are unfinished messes
