Escape From Tarkov developer reverses course on limited-time PvE access
www.pcgamesn.com
A new Battlestate Games open letter on the EFT Unheard Edition is offering all EoD owners the offline PvE mode for free forever at launch.

Yeah, three steps forward one step back with the screwed up, greedy ass gaming industry.

    Good that it’s reversed, but the mood is already set. They practically said that they consider everyone who’s been supporting them for the past 7 years a cash cow, and expect them to pay up more, regardless of how much they already paid

      Yeah, just another publisher/dev that’s trying to see how far they can push gamers and then take that little step back and go “See this isn’t so bad in comparison!”.

      Just slowly boiling the gamers in the cauldron.

        Pretty much. Sadly that’s just how things work today. You either do things right, at a cost, or you become the villain

          I’m hopeful. I want to believe what happened to Suicide Squad is an indication that consumers/gamers are less willing to put up with this shit than a few (a couple?) years ago.

            Who knows. We’ve had games flop the exact same way many times before, and they’ve learned nothing from it

      You’re being downvoted because you’re literally complaining about a extremely common gaming term, that you’ve defined yourself btw, being used in a gaming website posted in a gaming community. It makes you seem like you’re complaining just to complain, which is trollish behavior.

      This isn’t a powerpoint presentation going out to a group of people unfamiliar with the topic at hand so it’s not reasonable to have them spell out the first instance of the acronym, annoying their target audience.

      Next time, assuming you’re being actually sincere and not a troll, just ask “Hey what does acronym “ABC” stand for” instead of just going and complain right off the bat. You know the old adage about honey, vinegar and flies.
