We Didn’t Buy EOD To Fund Arena.
Dear Mr. BSG himself,
If you’re in hot water, financially strained, or time constrained in any way due to Arena, I think most of the player base would agree when I say we didn’t ask you. We didn’t ask for Arena to be made. We bought EOD to support you guys in finishing EFT.
I understand that companies use money to develop other games, while finishing another one. I understand it’s your choice. I understand you want to tie them together. But when it feels like there’s a possibility that the burden is being placed on us now, to the point where you can’t keep your promises, you need to be honest and reevaluate.
Most of the player base and basically all your beloved streamers have barely touched Arena. It’s not within our focus, so why is it in yours?
I’m not saying you should not be allowed to make a game purely because people aren’t playing it, but to allocate giant promotions and marketing campaigns when your main game, let’s be real here, is 80% there at best.
We supported and trusted you, that’s why most of us bought EOD. Yes there’s perks to it, but AI not shooting at you? Calling in a friend when your opponent can’t? Holding back and changing wording for DLC? If that was originally in EOD, Tarkov would have died a long time ago.
Don’t kill it now.
