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"

Okay, maybe he shouldn't be Boss then, he seems to suck at his job big time.

The game recently had a big spike in players after selling an overpriced DLC. Seems like his PR stunt paid off.

Source? There's no publicly available info on player counts other than BSGs word, so I'm calling BS

There is definitely a buzz, the SPT (single player Tarkov mod) servers have been constantly overloaded for days now

Yes but the comment i replied to is insinuating that EFT active players are up despite the community backlash

I believe it. Multiple friends of mine updated to play and see the streets changes when this press cycle hit, a few even shared footage of suspicious noiseless head/eyes deaths while they were in enclosed spaces. If it has been long enough, just the words escape from tarkov will send some fans back, negative experiences suspended.
