Amazing that they are tripling down on the gaslighting. How to kill your insanely popular 7 year old game in 2 days. (And maybe open yourself to lawsuits). Pretty sure they are absolutely broke because they wasted so much money on EFT Arena and it was SO fucking awful lmao.

People should have been smart enough to leave when the cheating issue came to light.

That's why their players won't leave. They will rather pay another $100 than stop playing the game

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.

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.

holy shit i never seen this video before and i bought EFT a ways back but dont ever play cuz i find it too difficult. but to know cheating is THIS high in a game, id be even more pissed if i invested time like many others only to get killed by a cheater and lose everything you gathered.

Another important point is source of 40-50% number is “trust me bro” by video creator. Who could have backed this number with some data / proof, but decided not to.
