I think it’s more than dragged, but less than slammed.

Like somebody else said, it’s a pretty common term for mass deleting posts and/or kicking users, as well as just deleting shit in general. If I was dual booting Linux and Windows, then finally decided to remove Windows I would say I “nuked my Windows partition”, or if I were to overwrite all my reddit comments before deleting my old account I would say I “nuked my reddit account”.

Eh if they are dedicated enough I bet a group could get a channel removed for breaking too many user agreement rules

Yeah but the players aren’t deleting stuff, they’re spamming complaints and using bots to do so.

The developers may be nuking their own service to clean up, but that’s not what the title says.

Oh my bad, yeah that actually is an atrocious title. I could see “carpet bomb” instead of nuke, but after realizing the context and my misinterpretation of the title yeah it’s fucking terrible.

Why? Why would this be something that upsets them?

Ah, ok:

Escape from Tarkov players are irate with developer Battlestate Games after it announced the release of a new edition, with a new mode and a $250 price tag, as they believe they should get it for free for purchasing the season pass.

Players who purchased the previous Edge of Darkness Edition were promised future DLC content as part of paying for the season pass. The community thinks the new Unheard Edition – which comes with a heavy price tag, what they believe is pay-to-win in-game content, and the new PvE mode – falls under DLC.

Carry on then

The problem isn’t that it’s pay to play, it’s that they already paid to play and they don’t want to pay again

And let’s not ignore the absolutely batshit bananas bonkers price tag. $250 for one new mode in an existing game?

I need to know where the execs that greenlit this get their cocaine. They must be getting amazing prices to get enough to make that seem like a reasonable idea.

Nikita has a history of bad ideas but this one takes the cake hands down, and in normal Nikita fashion… his response is fuck you im gonna do what I want and you can’t do anything about it.

I long ago tired of Nikitas antics and stopped playing tarkov since he kept making it worse and worse with the excuse of fighting cheaters instead of just joining up with an effective anti-cheat company. Also the fact they put the game on sale IMMEDIATELY after every ban wave is just too obvious

They probably were confident people would buy it since almost everyone that plays the game has the 150 dollar edition for all the pay to win aspects. I’ve never seen another game where so much of the player base had the most expensive edition of the game

They are Russian, so it’s probably a mix of vodka and amphetamines.

That combined with the ever increasing desperation to stay relevant so they don’t fall into Putin’s bad graces and all get conscripted.
