    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.

          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
