My only other concern is with the publisher, B-site (as it's called in China, though I'm not from there). Otherwise, it doesn't look that bad, despite being a top-down shooter instead of an FPS like Tarkov is.

I sure as heck hope they allow Linux (basically, no ACE or anything of the sort). If they do, and the game's free, I'll check this sucker out to spite the Tarkov devs.

That's called a dark pattern, which I don't fall for all that often. I'd just take the F2P route, and I wouldn't care if I missed out on something where I'd shell out real money for it.

Does it have an offline single-player or offline anything? If it doesn't, that's live service, that's not a game... it'd instead be a subscription-based shooter movie that you just so happened to be the protagonist of.

That's because I called out certain ideological and ecclesiastical nonsense on a different account, and here on this new one, I don't plan on calling it out as much as I used to.

You seem to be projecting what looks to be a defense for a game that's rigged against newbies. I've taken a look into the game, and figured it out for myself from watching some gameplay. Yes, it's fantastic once you get the hang of it, but there's EOMM that you have to deal with too, which is tame to other unethical matchmaking methods like MTXBMM.

Kushner and the Saudis, absolutely. Good chance I won't be playing their newer games after I heard about that nonsense.

I don't think that'll be possible. I wouldn't even buy BF6 because of Javelicrap (EA's botnet akin to Activision's Ricocrap), and why I'd want a rootkit on my system is beyond me (plus, Linux users are excluded from playing BF6 in the first place).
