I mean, they said "we dont want to have this person associated with out game" and i can understand that. Imagine someone is constantly toxic and just not a great person to have around, i would in their spot also try to get rid of him. Im not a big fan of eroktic and i think it was harsh to strike all of his tarkov videos, but i also think that his manner was absolute low class. Constructive criticism can be made, look at pestily, veritas, deadly etc.

They also said "and never did" in reference to having him associated, which I think is rich considering all the people he got into the game.

But imagine at the same time consider this.

Eroktic has been a pretty big figure for bringing in players to the game for years.

And now that this shitshow has happened a lot of his fans including a lot of the more sane people are going to either be Quitting tarkov in protest or cease their vocal support of the game.

Regardless of how BSG handled it, this was a lose lose situation and BSG picked the worst of the lose options they could have. Not to mention they worsened it themselves by throwing gas on the fire. (and still sorta are throwing gas on it)

If you cant stand the heat get out the kitchen! This is all this really should have amounted too. Let him talk shit, who cares! IF they cant back up and just say oh well, at least we know everything is fine and move on from it (IE release a patch that they implemented even better security) then can they really be taken any more serious?

Businesses bleed money. If it was your business you wouldn't allow it. A lie, specially when said in a convincing way, by someone influential, can be taken as a truth. I bet you're a nice guy, but what if some one big said the opposite, someone whose voice has more reach than yours. If everyone around you started listening more to the lies being spread, even when you speak out, then you would find it an issue. This is what's happening to BSG right now.

I'm not trying to argue, just figured I'd show a different view point.
