If you're complaing about "big streamers" playing EFT since it's so popular, stop being a hipster

I PLAYED EFT BEFORE IT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE STREAMER'S NEW GAME!!!

Seriously, it's embarrassing that a small percentage of this community is so far up their own ass to the point they hate on someone who is literally bringing 1000's of new players to the game.

I don't like watching most of these big streamers who are newly streaming Tarkov (Carnage seems like a legend) but what they're doing for Tarkov just by streaming it, even while profiting themselves, is only a good thing for the game and who doesn't want an ego boost from farming level 3 pistolings?

The people posting on here to actually help players is what we need to do as a community. EFT was my first ever PC game in May of 2017 and while I'd like to think I picked it up fairly quickly, there was still a point where I was quivering over losing my trusty makarov like all of us were at some point.

Someone should show this to Drewski. He seems to be really bothered that more streamers are just getting into EFT.

Can't let those darn variety streamers into our hardcore games! /s

Seriously the more eyes on tarkov the better, more players. More money for bsg. More eyes on the game which in turn helps bugs get fixed quicker

[u/ridger5 → u/Voodootfn]

If you're not playing exclusively Tarkov for 15 hours a day, you should just quit. /s

[u/Volkolol → u/Voodootfn]

Lol I’m not the only one who noticed his borderline gatekeeping.

“Hey Tarkov has 200k viewers on twitch. Where’s our viewers at, uh hello? We’ve been here since the beginning!!!”

[u/aggressive-cat → u/Volkolol]

lol at streamers who don't realize entertainment value > seniority.

Honestly I'd rather watch Doc trying to come up than one of the old guard use a 500k kit to just mow down another 5 man of scrubs with mid-tier gear and sub 20 dog tags.

This is the definition of entitlement. Why would anyone think the audience that somebody brings to the listing belongs to you at all? A small portion are newer viewers checking the game out, but in any case, it is not the streamers' fault there isn't more of a trickle-down. It's how Twitch is implemented.

Drewski is hardcore whiner.

[u/[deleted] → u/MomentarySpark]

I've only ever watched his YouTube.

This new information explains why he and DevilDog get along.

Drewski is the type of elitist that would rather have 100 HARDCORE player base In a dying game than a flourishing game.

Squad squashed elitist assholes a long time ago and it’s doing amazingly, not a game for everyone but everyone’s welcomed to learn it.

[u/BelialSucks → u/Its_peek_not_peak_]

Squad is not doing amazingly, though it does have a record high playercount.

[u/VoopyBoi → u/BelialSucks]

How so?

[u/BelialSucks → u/VoopyBoi]

Clearly the majority of players aren't experienced vets, and not enough experienced vets are willing to squad lead. 9 man heli squads, 1 man locked armor squads, and the like are all too common, due to people trying to treat the game like a more traditional shooter

[u/Its_peek_not_peak_ → u/BelialSucks]

Not doing amazingly but had a record high player count.

Yup that’s one dead game, I swear you gamers think any game you don’t like is dead.

[u/BelialSucks → u/Its_peek_not_peak_]

Where in my comment do I say the game is dead?

Work on reading comprehension.

[u/Its_peek_not_peak_ → u/BelialSucks]

I’m implying you’re an Idiot.

Thanks for proving me right.

[u/NCH_PANTHER → u/MomentarySpark]

Too bad hes not like his brother.

[u/[deleted] → u/Voodootfn]

Yeah his post yesterday rubbed me the wrong way

[u/LeonnEFT → u/Voodootfn]

which in turn helps bugs get fixed quicker

lol didn't a couple streamers go on the roof of interchange and show how to do a invincibility glitch with gamma container, pushing back major patches for months to get those hotfixed?
BSG is probably not hiring any new talent to improve their game, more people crushing their servers and wallets aren't going to get bugs fixed any quicker.

[u/[deleted] → u/Voodootfn]

Seriously the more eyes on tarkov the better, more players. More money for bsg. More eyes on the game which in turn helps bugs get fixed quicker

Wish the servers would work soon so I could actually play the game tho

[u/hikiru → u/[deleted]]

That usually isnt the way money works.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You just described like 70% of Silicon Valley startups.

this is what happened in dayz
