It is still a pretty great game. I only ever played with the cheapest standard edition and had no problems.

I still do have some regrets about who I have given my money to, but there is no other game quite like it and a lot of industry giants and indies have tried (and are still trying) to emulate it without success.

No they haven't.

It's not a hard formula.

Instanced maps, loot, use loot to upgrade outside of instance in a way that helps your next playthough, Player has experience points and leveling of skills,

No other game does this, and any industry giants that claim to have tried have missed 1 of the 4 core elements.

It amazes me that people don't notice this is the exact same formula for roguelikes.

I love Roguelikes. I love FPS. Tarkov is my favorite game, but damn does it squander it's potential.
