Escape from Tarkov is the original extraction FPS where every raid is a gamble with death. Prep your raid, bleed, endure and fight through ruthless PMC players and Scavs, gain tactical advantage and cling to your loot — only extraction decides if you live or lose it all.
Not to mention the game is unoptimized as hell, AND is absolutely infested with hackers that they refuse to ban because I’m pretty sure 90% of them are Russian and if they banned them they’d lose a massive chunk of their playerbase. But I think that’s peanuts compared to LITERALLY, UNIRONICALLY SUPPORTING WAR CRIMES. Hell, when Microsoft became a BDS target for providing AI to Israel, I actually stopped playing any game I had in Xbox Game Pass, and only came back after they announced they were no longer providing Israel with tech.
I’m not touching it because I like my sanity, but also they’re shady as fuck. They offered an exorbitantly priced premium version of the game that promised all future upgrades for no additional cost, then decided that didn’t include the new pve mode. You could probably find a dissertation on other shitty things they’ve done but that’s a big one.
If I check the reviews its mainly a bad first day experience. Third party launcher, and services being down because so many people are trying to play it. I haven’t played it myself, but I suspect that when people calm down a bit we get the actual reviews mentioning the game, rather than the day 1 experience. So I’d say: give it a few days and then let’s check the reviews again.

I am NOT fucking playing a game where the devs collab with the Russian military and support their war crimes.
To add to the post title:
Devs actively support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Fuck them.

Tarkov needs to stay alive to contain the worst of the community away from arc raiders.
Hey! We aren’t that bad.
Recounts the thousands of hours I’ve played over the last 8 years
Okay, maybe we are.
Good point, I have no interest in tarkov but arc is great
🤡
Found the Tarkov player
Nah, ARC Raiders has AI voice acting. They can eat shit too. Delta Force is right there and it’s free.
You sure you responded to the right person?
Uhhh, I think so? I was trying to say that being a Tarkov player isn’t the only reason someone would hate ARC Raiders.
Riiight. I’m rolling with the odds
If you think you’re right, then you’re wrong.
Edit for the smart people:
Never admit when you are wrong.
🤡🤡🤡
🫵😂
Excellent contribution.
Don’t these guys directly fund the war in Ukraine?
Yeah. I quit playing long before the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, but that’s just one more reason I’d never install it again.
With Arc Raiders being out, I think I’m done with this dumpster fire of a developer…
I never play it, but I am aware that it has been around for a long time. And it always seems that people liked playing it.
What is it that changed that? Did they add monetarization?

The services was not down because too many people tried to play it. If you frame it like that it sounds like the people are at fault here.
The service was down because the company was not properly prepared to actually provide the service that they promised.
Finally?
I was never interested in this, but I’m surprise it took them so long to make.
