This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. “Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out”
Okay, maybe he shouldn’t be Boss then, he seems to suck at his job big time.
This is “announcing I will be stepping down” material for sure, dear lord. Never seen a more ridiculous or predictable disaster
Reminds me of the Volkswagen boss when their emission cheating leaked. He said he didn’t know. Wow, you earn millions for managing a company that big and then claim to not know about something. The fuck did you do then? So either he was lying or admitting that he didn’t do his damn job. Both cases should have lead to him having to give back whatever he “earned” in his position.
I’m sure he got a bonus instead. The “C” in C-Suite stands for Certifiable. Literally divorced from reality. Needless to say they don’t earn their pay at all but all the wannabees on the board keep throwing money at them because they want their shot to be a do-nothing, too.
I used to play EFT, and he would periodically say stupid shit like this regularly. Like reliably 2x a year at least.
He’s extremely out of touch with the fan base, and gets upset at the “toxic community” for complaining that the “early access” game (for what, ~8 years now) has major game breaking bugs still, and most importantly, has been overrun by hackers for many years.
Imagine an MMO where all the epic loot is randomly spawned in a free for all battle ground, and the hackers can see all items on the map, vacuum it up remotely, and leave the lobby before legit players could even sprint there in a straight line.
And then the lead dev says “man, you guys whine so much, get over it”
Pretty sure it’s a pair of brothers isn’t it? Am I remembering that wrong?
The game recently had a big spike in players after selling an overpriced DLC. Seems like his PR stunt paid off.
Source? There’s no publicly available info on player counts other than BSGs word, so I’m calling BS
There is definitely a buzz, the SPT (single player Tarkov mod) servers have been constantly overloaded for days now
Given the recent solar eclipse, I’m reminded of the people who stared directly at the sun and found it to be dangerously bright.
On top of all that the fucking game is still early access.
I migrated my emails to my own domain and needed to change the address on every service. They don’t even allow changing the email address for years now, judging by their faq. It’s fucking embarrassing.
CyberPunk 2077 did a similar thing. Seems to be a new pattern. Promise free DLC to drum up support. Charge for the DLC. Wait for things to cool down. Do it again.
uh huh.
