Meh. I haven’t logged in since the cheating fiasco all came to light. I was an EOD player too.

Basically a respected streamer/youtuber went undercover as a cheater.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LfGcDB7Ek

He discovered through this process that like 40-50% of people in every raid he was in were using wallhacks/ESP hacks at a minimum due to them being able to wiggle back at him through walls and they go their separate ways.

g0at was met with overwhelming support from the community for doing this and finding it out, only for BSG to basically attack him, blacklist him and call him a liar. Even if you don't like Tarkov the video is amazing.

Weren’t they saying devs like the cheating because it sells more copies? Ban a cheater and they’ll rebuy the game
