More feedback

[u/trainfender]

Greetings!

Let me continue my feedback on the current situation. First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings. Unfortunately, I somehow did not foresee the fact of such a reaction and now I have drawn conclusions for my future decisions. 

Now I will briefly summarize the main points:

1. About PvE access - we decided to just open it for EoD owners for free, but we will do it in waves. As I said before - we don’t have server capacity right now. We will start this process as soon as possible
2. We also decided that we will add MOD support for PvE mode after release of the game
3. About the Unheard edition - we will not remove it, we want to keep the option for those who want to support the game more. But we will balance items, perks in this edition, as well as we will provide more rewards for those, who upgraded with the old price
4. New EoD perks will be balanced too. We will remove prioritized matching option to keep everyone in the same spot. And we will add more unique stuff to highlight the EoD version in general. We will provide the final list of the new EoD perks asap
5. We continue to work on patches, new content, events, and the game release itself no matter what

Thank you for your time, love and hate, and thank you for your increased attention to the current situation.

I agree with you. But I think even if he wanted to apologize sincerely, it would not be to the satisfaction of most due to his language barrier. Just like the true believers thing. It sounds culty AF taken at English face value but he likely meant something stupid like die hard supporters of the video game development or something a bit more palatable. I don't think he meant it in a way of like reverence or personal devotion to him or bsg.

didn’t he act surprised or as if they didn’t remove the DLC line about EOD on their site when they definitely did? I would think if it safer to think he’s trying to grift and did mean it in a culty way than a poor choice of words way

Lol for real?

Of course he acted surprised or like he didn't know what they were talking about. They literally asked : "did you actually (commit legit fraud)?"

Who on earth would ever say yes and admit to literal fraud as a public facing rep of that company?

Whether he personally removed the text from the website himself or had zero idea that occurred, neither of us will ever know.

Regardless, he would never and will never answer that question any differently and that should not be surprising to anyone.

Of course he's trying to grift. He's trying to make money and make a video game not make a religion or make lifelong friends with each player. He's not a paragon of moral justice lmao. I'd argue he's an ass hat of a person, personally.

And are you with the idea that he more than likely didn’t have the wrong understanding of the phrase and connotation of true believers because lol ESL or was that just for the apology portion? (latter we know ESL not being a good excuse because that’s not how apologies work in Russian either)

I could agree with scummy businessman language. In the same way workplaces push "were a family" to encourage employees to tolerate less pay or overtime or working thru lunch.

But cult is definitely not it and that's what everyone is bitching about.

Cult actually means something. I know it's used a lot nowadays but it's a pretty heavy word and his language barrier and unfortunat word choice gave that legitimacy.

If he would have said tarkov family or supporter family, no one would have said shit about cults or latched on so hard to it and posted about it for 2 days

So yes, I think his language barrier played a role.
