Fuck that Russian company! time to install the single player tarkov mod just because the devs don’t like it.
Play xonotic instead.
They are just doing this to cash out, it costs them nothing to provide a Steam key.
I regret buying it the first time.
huh, I was interested in picking this up
Guess not
Paying for a cheater infested pvp game is not something I can see myself doing.
I quite like the singleplayer mod. Also the devs apparently support the russian invasion of Ukraine, so don’t give them your money anyway.
I agree, Single Player Tarkov was the only way I found the game playable. The bots could be decently balanced so there was still some challenge and risk to the game.
Still an issue ?
Wouldn’t know. Like I said I can’t see myself paying money for a game infested with cheaters. This is the game that made people aware of the wiggle even among those that didn’t play.
Yeah fuck this game in particular. Made by a Russian company with ties to their defense industry.
I was going to make an argument that it was probably just research for their real world gun implementation, then I read the article. Big yikes.
Some more sources would’ve been great.
Damn, this developer is really hell bent on pissing off its fanbase, isn’t it?
They in business of making money… like the rest of them. These clowns are full of themselves.
Discerning gamer should be taking notice, idiots will pay.
And not a single person was surprised
Yeah it would be the exception for a game that comes to Steam later in its life to give out Steam keys to current owners.
Looked for a Tarkov alternative with pve option (because I don’t need any more sodium in my diet) and found gray zone warfare. It’s a pre alpha and is in a pretty playable state, plus it’s an entire open world which is fantastic.
Soon, in October, we’ll have a new demo for Road to Vostok, a fully pve extraction game made by a single dev that, quite honestly, looks amazing. You should check it out. I think the EA version will come out in 2026.
I played that but it was too sim for me, seems like fun if you want an unforgiving game.
As opposed to EFT? lmao
What? Tarkov is well known for how it coddles the player base and hand holds newbies.
The only thing Tarkov coddles is its developer Nikita. I know of numerous people who’ve tried it and said it’s just TOO complex. I’ve played Gray Zone, and it’s nowhere near as difficult and fully of bullshit as EFT.
My man…. as someone with a few hundred hours in Tarkov…. that was heavy sarcasm. lol
I tend to describe EFT’s learning curve as “hostile”.
Fucking hell, I missed it completely lol
No. They don’t “have to”. Wake up, fellow poors. Stop giving your money away. If “buying” doesn’t equal “ownership”, et al…
