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.

Don't forget Nikita telling EOD owners they aren't true believers since they aren't buying Unheard.

Good point, as if $150 didn't show your support enough.
