The queue times in this game are bad enough as it is. To make people who've ONLY paid $50 wait longer than others, is completely unforgivable.

Absolute misguided greed.

They added fastpass(T) to the game servers?

I've put an obscene amount of time into Tarkov.

I say this with absolutely 0 uncertainty: if you weren't aware that BSG were scumbags then you just weren't paying attention. If this move surprised you, I'm sorry but you are just plainly unaware.

Oh yeah, i bought it one month, didn't like it after paying four minutes and they were absolute dicks when I tried to get a refund. Like I didn't expect one but the attitude was insane

Elahorate about this 'attitude' please.

I mean based on how this week has gone... Do they really have to? It's pretty clear how that conversation likely went. With them being cheapskates and not giving a shit about you as a customer.

Dude they copystruck a small YouTuber back when Tarkov was first getting it's feet for exposing that someone was mining bitcoin through the Tarkov client.

We're talking like 40 videos copystruck for a single video, a video exposing something really really bad.

Then there's the interview where Nikita openly admitted that cheaters are a part of their business model.

BSG is scumbags. Period, end of story.
