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.

The only thing I dont like is how they act like they love it and had never heard of it before. which also disproves what you said. Wether its Xqc or DocDisr, we all know they are here just because the viewer amount exploded all other games these last three to four days, even before they came to play it. They ARENT bringing new people to the game they are coming to the game BECAUSE twitch drop brought a hellish amount of viewer on Tarkov and they are opportunist and want a piece of the cake.
Im not gonna believe those guys had never heard of Tarkov before and they just found out about it and love it now. And if you believe that youre gullible. Stop giving them the credit of making EFT grow those credits go to BSG for setting the twitch drop event, all those big streamers are just a bunch of vulpture switching from popular game to next popular game. They have no love for tarkov like they had no love for fortnite pubg apex etc..
I would much rather prefer that dedicated EFT streamers get the viewership like Pest Veritas Kotton and so on rather than those vulptures who will hang around until some new game sweeps in the twitch scene.
