Escape From Tarkov Dev Revises Access Policy for PvE Mode
After intense backlash, Battlestate Games announces that players who purchased the $150 Edge of Darkness edition will receive access to the new PvE mode without additional cost.
- Battlestate Games reverses its decision, granting $150 Edge of Darkness edition owners access to the new PvE mode, responding to widespread fan discontent.
- The new policy comes after a failed attempt to introduce a $250 'Unheard Edition' which included exclusive access to the PvE mode, sparking outrage among players.
- Access to the PvE mode will be granted in waves due to server capacity, with full support promised at the game's official launch.
- Mod support and other benefits will be extended to the PvE mode upon the game reaching version 1.0, as part of Battlestate's ongoing efforts to mend relations with its community.
- The company faces significant trust issues within its community, with many players expressing skepticism about future commitments due to past actions.
