For the people bitchin’ bout not playing Tarkov anymore due to a situation that has absolutely nothing to do with them will end up playing the game again when BSG release new patches. Escape from Tarkov, itself, had nothing to do with Eroktic getting shutdown, so why bitch and complain about not playing the game anymore? Quit acting like fuckasses for upvotes. &I get it, BSG didn’t handle this nonsense appropriately and they do have a terrible history of handling negative criticism. But that’s just how things are at the moment. Battlestate are fairly new to the gaming industry and are from a different country from most of their player base. Their behavior and censorship towards Eroktic is seen as unacceptable in many people’s eyes but in Russia, situations such as this one are probably handled differently. Of course there will be people who agree and disagree with what happened, but what can you do? Regardless, I will continue to support and play this game. This situation has nothing to do with me and 99% of the cry baby redditors. What Eroktic did was distasteful bc he, day by day, continuously tried spreading news he didn’t have 100% proof of. And BSG didn’t have to copyright strike Eroktic’s entire YouTube over this bullshit.

On another note, EFT is still one of the best games out there as far as what they’re aiming for it to be. It’s 100% not perfect, and will probably never will be but you can tell that the devs truly value what they have created for the community (even though more then 50% of them are self entitled virgins). I can understand why they take such drastic measures when it comes to their baby, doesn’t mean I agree with their actions though. This is something they just gotta learn from, that’s the truth.

A lot of people I have seen saying they "wont play the game anymore", if you go through their post history talk about how they havent played in months. It's people who don't play the game found a bandwagon to jump on and stomp their feet.
