The Escape From Tarkov developers' efforts to escape from a DLC paywall quagmire of their own quagmiring continue with …

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”

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”

He’s just the typical russian troll
