BSG: shoots self in foot *reloads BSG: shoots self in other foot

Their discord mods changing their names to things like “$100 DLC to view name”

"Get F***ed Edition" would've been more appropriate but "Unheard Edition" is pretty accurate too.

PMC: BSG - Left Foot PMC: Nikita - Left Foot PMC: Unheard - Head, Eyes

1)Sell a $150 version " limited edition" of your alpha demo, tell everyone they get all updates for free forever to get them to buy it. 2)never stop selling it, and drag development on for over a decade 3)reach market saturation because you refuse to sell your game on popular storefronts. 4)Panic becuse you can no longer monetise your game, attempt to half-heartedly spin it off into an arena shooter but fail miserably because of laziness. 5)Here we are.

They filed an extension on their taxes. This reads Bankruptcy -> Cash grab to break even -> sell out to AAA studio and resurface the team members in a different indie project 3 years later after the dust settles

Jumped from mobile to PC for a taste of everything Arena Breakout has to offer. Insanely fun features to explore

I’m 42 yo, I’ve been a gamer all my life, and never have I been as pissed at a company for being idiots 😂

PR team for Arena Breakout deserves a raise for sponsoring this 😂😂😂

At least battlestate named the bundle right because they really haven’t heard shit we’ve been saying.

Still in beta on PC, but missing those weather mechanics. Can't wait to unleash some stormy chaos like on mobile! Bring on the thunder, devs

The thing is, it is more than $250 due to tax. It is more like $300. I did buy the EOD Edition back in 2016, but the conversion rate bugged (it showed the £ being worth way more than it actually was) and I got it for $63. I have something like 3,000 hours on EFT, so I got my $60 worth, but I never did get my in-game alpha armband despite playing the alpha a whole year before the game went into closed beta. I tried contacting support about it, but they told me to stop wasting their time. If you didn't get the alpha armband, it means you didn't buy the game by 2017. I sent them a screenshot of my receipt for the game that says I purchased it on June 1st, 2016. They immediately closed my ticket and blacklisted my email 😂🤣💀

"This new game is going to be a Tarkov killer!" My brother in Christ, Tarkov is the Tarkiv killer

You know what's crazy? They could've just took that co-op version with saved progression, slapped a $45 price tag on it, add some bonuses to bump it up for $60 and people would've ate it up. They could've done *anything else* and it would've been better.

Cash grabbing in my Unreleased Beta game btw. Game began to die when their response to hatchet runners was to have the AI run across the map just to mow them down. Their decisions have always been unreasonable and never worked in the long run. Them removing the verbiage that EOD would receive future DLC is criminal and they should be prosecuted for it.

PC quality's solidno doubtJust wish they'd spice up the testing with some events. Love the 12v12 from mobile

I want to play tarkov with only bots, but I will never pay 250 fucking dollars for it.

escape from greed. Betrayal edition

Just remember, This is $415 in Australia that $250 pack. They know what they can do with that $415 pack.

Arena Breakout did not miss an opportunity to sponsor a warhead aimed at Tarkov.

Ever since SPTarkov, I havent played Live tarkov

limited for 6 months for co op for eod owners is crazy thats gonna piss them off more

It's more than $250, because they don't include taxes in the display price, but you can't see the final price unless you create an account on their site. So everyone says that it's $250, when it's actually more like $300-350 after taxes, depending on your region. Same for the upgrade from Edge of Darkness edition, it's not just $100 but more like $125-150.

I love how their stated reason for PVE is that it'll take server space. Literally just have the inventories be the only server side thing boom done. Peer to Peer would probably be an upgrade to their servers for combat anyways.

I dont even play Tarkov and Im still pissed that they did this to the players, absolute disgrace and the game deserves to go bust

As someone that purchased Edge of Darkness back in 2017, i have long since given up on Tarkov. The game was stuck in an infinite loop of being milked by its devs and will never be what it was once hoped to be

1:50 "Where every bullet counts" → gets shot point blank from a guy behind and proceeds like nothing happened.

What a shame, glad I gave up on Tarkov a few years ago and I bought the eod in 2017 and have well over 8k hours on the game. Charging for features like the distress beacon that we’re talked about being in game since 2016 is fucking ridiculous

This one's sad. The greed is insane

We finally escaped from Tarkov!

The only reason I have EFT installed is so I can play SPT.

Slight correction, the SPT ( Single Plater Tarkov ) mod is single player only, there is no coop. You connect to a virtual server on your own machine that you have to start first in order to be able to play. You are risking nothing with it, ( Klean literally plays it on twitch lol ) its in a whole separate folder and you must have the original game for it to work. It needs an installed LIVE version but it copies it over to a different folder ( drive if you want ) therefore does not modify anything in your live forlder.

They intentionally want to kill the game because Nikita is tired of Tarkov and want's to move on to other Projects.

They fucked themselves with this one

looks like a class action lawsuit is in BSGs future. You cant say you get access to all future dlc after paying $150 and then make a new edition just to not give away that DLC to people that paid that much money.

This wasn't even a torpedo, this was *scuttling charges*

They also removed that EOD came with arena access....they also removed old dev blogs from their youtube that covered EOD accounts and what not. Fucking shameful man.

Their discord is HILARIOUS right now.

I am so glad you made this video. Literally just yesterday I was thinking about Tarkov. I stopped playing a few years back. Right before Lighthouse came out. I think a big part of it was that I started playing with some friends, and they were taking it really seriously. We started building the bases and going for high ticket items and missions. But I kind of just liked having fun with the game. Before I got them into it, I wasn't rich, but I was loving it. Then streamers were beating the entire thing in a weak, so they started raising the requirements for everything, and I felt like I was no longer making progress. And they kept talking about the new map, but weren't releasing it because we needed vest #294. And just a whole list of things I was getting tired of But I thought maybe I could have some fun with it again. See what's up... Now I've lost interest. Meanwhile, I've played quite a bit of Arena Breakout on my phone. It did feel like just the mobile Tarkov. So if they can make a good PC version, I'm down for supporting them.

You’re not risking a ban by playing SPT. It’s just a simple matter of keeping your SPT files separate from your EFT files.

Yeah. F*** BSG adding parts of a game that players wanted and originally backed and putting it behind another $100 plus paywall

People forget this game was not supposed to be an extraction shooter. It was supposed to eventually be open world.

Bigfry, I really appreciate your coverage and opinion on news going on in the video game world. Love your content man, thanks!

Scary thing is people will pay the 250 dollars for it, I also bet alot of the main KZfaqrs) streamers who are complaining about this update will also pay it. They should just make a offline version no extra features, just offline with no wipe for like £20

With the Arena Breakout sponsorship XD

I love how the video is sponsored by Arena Breakout when they've been absolutely throttling Tarkov on twitter with their marketing hilariously mocking them for this. Its a chef's kiss and i hope Arena Breakout the best. This has got to be one of my favorite sponsorships given the context of everything

SPT has been a great time. There’s some talented people over there just… making things. As an EOD owner who hasn’t played LIVE seriously in a while it still feels like a slap in the face & I am glad to have been playing SPT for so long & enjoying a different experience.

1:20. haha love the sponsored section. on a Side note when yo umentioned Rings of Elysium it brougt me back. super underrated game

The fact that it's called the "Unheard" edition is so painfully ironic. It's not even a good name on its own - it just feels like BSG deliberately chose the most tone-deaf name they could possibly go with.

Tarkov was bleeding already and now it jumped into an ocean waiting to be torn apart by sharks

How to kill a company 101, Unheard edition

Wait a minute… The trailer said “play offline with your friends”. Wasnt one of their supposed major price justifications the fact that you still had to play online on their servers? So is it false advertising or were they lying about it still needing to be online on their servers?

I mean, every decision Nikita makes is a net negative. this was a long time coming

As an EOD owner.... I feel SCAMMED

I think it would make sense to give EOD holders everything in the new package since they promised it and kept the new one for people willing to shell out the cash if they missed out on EOD

Knew I was gonna get a juicy BigFry vid yesterday

Single player/Coop PVE should be a basic feature for everyone, not a DLC or a feature for an incredibly expensive edition. This is so asinine and greedy on Battlestate behalf to lock such a simple thing behind a huge paywall.

It's not a DLC, it's a special military operation

0:05 no, The Day Before is not "shoot themselves in the foot", it's just simply a scam

The only positive thing I saw out of the unheard edition is the no wipes feature and I'm just thinking whatever happened to some potential wipe and no wipe servers?

I feel like this is an exit strategy. They're going to rake in as much as possible before they shut it all down. They've been consistent about not adding PVE, and now suddenly they are releasing it for 250$? Sketch af.

Arena breakout needs solo/co-op. Done with forced pvp. I will support all devs that give me that experience.

Nice Fry, you feel the community!!

Just to clarify something from the beginning, the SPT mod never had co-op. It was singleplayer only, no ability to play with friends.

Ahh BigFry BSG content, this takes me back.

Grayzone and arena breakout have a chance to have a big hit but they have to watch out on free to play, pay to win, pay for convenience, etc.

The final cash grab before they abandon the game. Classic

Can't wait to see wtf your game looks like when it comes out!

I find it very strange that an offline PVE mode is not just part of the main base game. You should not have to spend 150 (or 250!) dollars to be able to get a coop/offline PVE mode in this Beta. Doesn't make any sense.

thats 340$ Canadian thats a megalomaniac move

As one of the people who participated in ABM's (Arena Breakout Mobile) closed beta test, I honestly love the game (other than some performance issues that are still there, but at this point I'm blaming my phone, lol). I'm glad it's coming to Steam.

Did no one at that meeting table stand up and say “Um excuse me wtf is this price?”

The arena breakout sponsor on a video talking about the downfall of Tarkov is class 🤣 Good vid bro!

That Arena breakout sponsorship to spit on Tarkov more is muchly appreciated

EFT Margin Call Edition: "Sell it all. Today."

did we also mention the "unique" knife is a store asset?

Funniest thing i just learned. The unheard unique melee weapon... IS A FUCKING ASSET FROM THE STORE.....i mean the memes are writing itself. Don't know where i saw it, but i laughed so fucking hard when i saw it. Did not confirm it myself, but if it is true DUDE. I loved this game back in the day. I waited for the modular armor. And now they fucked it all, so sad to see.

"It ain't DLC, its unique feature of the new edition added" - I feel like I have heard Russians say something similar.... oh yeah: "It's not a war, it's a special military operation!" 😅

I’m glad grayzone is coming soon and squad is looking pretty good rn. Might even switch back to DMZ

Arena breakout has sponsored Tony (lanmark) and now Bigfry for these breakdown vids. Hilarious 😂😂

If people let this slide: it will happen in your other favorite games, it will set a precedent that at the end of the day companies can do this

At this point, I just want my money back. All of it. Great game, but I just don't want to deal with this shit.

One small addition. It wasn't just arena, but the Raid miniseries and Chronicles of ryzhy miniseries that probably lost them some major cash as well. I can't imagine that those were cheap to make. And it was a problem I noticed with BSG back when they added in arm stamina 3-4 back. They're sinking money in to things that isn't the development of tarkov proper. and recently before this fumble, They dropped the open world aspect that they'd been promising for years. Wasn't news to me but I know some people were caught of guard with that one.

Yknow, I had been hoping to try Tarkov for some time now. But being a mobile only gamer due to money issues, I've never had the chance. Now though, not only do I know I don't need to try Tarkov, but I even have an alternative that I can actually play! Thank you very much.

They named it after the community. A direct slap in the face of their supporters.

So if they do sink? And we all have pre-order on something that doesn't come to be, do we just loose it all?

When I purchased eod about 3 years ago, tarkov was already around for a while. Yes the future dlcs were one of the selling points among with the rest of it. I've gotten my money's worth out of a 150, for 3 years. Since they've expanded their studio, hired more people and have rolled out some quality updates since then, I can understand this extra 100 for me to upgrade and I would pay it since there isn't anything like tarkov on the market at the moment. They have their own expenses and they must try and survive in the market to keep developing. No indie company would be able to hire a bunch of people to work towards their goals and hope to fun this without some ways to bring in some more money.

Tarkov is gonna be the h1z1 BR of the extraction shooters they get the ball rolling and then end up getting destroyed by themselves and competitors.

Escaping from Tarkov never became easier.

It’s only 50 to upgrade from eod to unheard now

I don't expect most people here to have thrown a grenade but there is a clip you have to flip up and off of them before you can pull the pin.

Correction, you can not play co-op with friends on SPTarkov.

something you forgot to mention the part were landmark was talking about the ''unique'' part of the text they also changed the wording of the DLC part Free access to all subsequent DLC (Season pass) and it USED to be Free access to all subsequent DLC (Season pass) SUCH AS EFT ARENA. this change from what i can tell means that if you buy the 250$ pack you dont even get access to arena (which is a bad game but still)

Quick correction, SPT does not allow you to play with friends, only by yourself. It's other mods that bring that functionality

Nice these are the kind of ads we like to see.

There are people that see problems in opportunitites and people who see opportunitites in problems. I'd say there's a bunch of potential customers now looking for a new extraction shooter.

BSG Really fucked up on this one. The problem is that eventually all this will die down and everything will go back to normal...

I have EOD, stopped playing for the longest time cause of bugs initially, then the insanity of the hackers that are in literally every match. I haven't thought of the game in about a year and even still I feel like I've been spit on. Lmao.

The AI scavs never shoot at me lmao
