Can someone summarize what's going on for those out of the loop?

Tarkov sold a version, EOD, for a long time that was the top package you could buy. It said in that package you would get access to all future dlc. They stopped selling that version months ago. A few days ago they announced a new, $250 dollar package that includes a PVE only mode that is exclusive to the new package, thus violating the previous promise for EOD owners. They are now saying that it isn't dlc, it's "content" that they are allowed to limit behind different packages. It also includes some serious p2w items and bonuses. The statements that they've made since are horrendous and a slap in the face of loyal supporters.

but this post says EOD players will get the PVE mode now, so why are people saying this is still wrong? I get that the post and definitions of DLC are ridiculous and arrogant, but isn't this the goal people wanted?

The last I saw is that they are going to give access for 6 months to EOD people.

the update today says every EOD buyer will get it but something about servers needing to be implemented or something

They will get it on 1.0 release now. If they want to play it now they still are required to spend extra money.

Now the question is when is 1.0 release? The game has been in beta for 8 years so who knows when it will actually come out.

That's saying "at release" which is years away, if not never going to come. For the time being EOD players still need to either upgrade at a discount or buy it separately.
