HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU, BATTLESTATE GAMES
As a non-Tarkov player I have to say I’ve been loving the drama of this story. I’m able to watch a good v evil story unfold in front of my eyes with zero stakes.
Can't blame you, tbh... It's been a shit show. Hopefully they figure it out, but they've been pretty tone deaf at every turn over the past few years so it's likely that they'll just try to ride this out until the community just kinda... forgets about it. Which is sad. One reason being that we shouldn't be in this position to begin with... The other is that it shows that companies can literally just bend us all over and as long as they walk back the extreme behaviour a little bit, they'll get away with it.
I've killed more than a few people with bigger pockets than normal and it just saddens me that people can actually support this nonsense.
It feels like every day there’s a new development that somehow makes the developer look worse than they already did smh
Edit: I will say, drama aside, I do genuinely feel sick to my stomach for the people like yourself who have invested time and money and heartache in this game only for the developers to treat you like this. It’s such a shitty situation.
Have they solved the rampant hacking yet or has it come out that the devs are just straight up making the hacks and selling them on the side?
I of course cannot prove the latter, but would be entirely unsurprised.
Nope. They claim that some of it has to do with Unity and the way the engine is coded and not just their own code... Which might be true to an extent, but they've also admitted that their own code is hard to work with because it's all gotten so complex.
As for selling their own cheats... Man who knows... Money IS a great motivator.
