The people behind the shooting game Escape from Tarkov are making big changes after some controversy. They introduced a new edition of the game called the ‘Unheard Edition’ for $250. This version gave players special bonuses like extra storage space and a new game mode called offline PvE.
Many players were upset, especially those who already had the game’s Edge of Darkness (EOD) edition. This edition used to bundle together older content and add-ons, but now it’s not available.

People who bought EOD wouldn’t get any of the bonuses from the Unheard Edition. The game developers said it’s not fair to call the new mode DLC (downloadable content), but players still weren’t happy.
Now, the developers are trying to make things right. They’re giving EOD players some unique features like special items and faster item returns.
They’ll also get six months of access to the offline PvE mode from the Unheard Edition. But this move has made some players even angrier. They say six months isn’t enough, and they’re still upset about the ‘pay to win’ accusations.
The Reddit thread discussing these changes has thousands of comments, showing how passionate players are about this issue. The community managers for Battlestate Games have a tough job ahead of them trying to keep everyone happy.
