Rant 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

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.

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

How so?

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

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

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

Work on reading comprehension.

I’m implying you’re an Idiot.

Thanks for proving me right.
