View submission: the update regarding EOD edition
arena makes this entirely worse, since you could argue that arena is NOT dlc since it is a seperate game, other than the shared BSG launcher... which means a non-DLC was included, while something that is actually a DLC is NOT included as agreed upon...

They also edited the Website today anticipating this being relative to the situation, they cannot cover tracks and alter verbiage like that. good thing they made a boomer move and dont realize you can archive webpages

I was thinking the exact same.... Though they have promised early on, that EoD players will get Arena. It was once Arena was confirmed to be coming. And Nikita tried to back out of it....
And you know what? Arena beeing another game I can relate more to, than SP/Coop beeing it's own game... I mean, wtf is this???

With how Arena was developed and launched. I would agree it's technically not DLC for Escape from Tarkov as it doesn't exist within the main games files, EOD shouldn't have received it for free. However, Arena was announced originally as a DLC mode for Tarkov and was promoted as a free DLC for EOD to promote EOD sales for a while. Until they backtracked and it caused the controversy it did. Just like whats happening now. BSG made a promise and now they've realized how much money they could potentially "lose" grossly because they already got paid for that DLC years in advance.

Not to me. Area is a part of Tarkov, just a separate EXE. It's like going from SP to MP in an older CoD game in my eyes, except its a different game mode.

calling arena a separate game is like calling COD black ops and COD black ops zombies separate games because they allowed you to download them individually.

Arena was initially not included in EoD because of the same reasoning. They reversed the decision though, and that establishes precedent for what BSG considers DLC. If BSG considers Arena DLC, there's no line of logic that can say this is not DLC.

Definitely - you could argue arena is a different game vs. DLC.

arena is not a seperate game just a standalone client its included just like all future expansions to eft not our fault they sold arena together with eft they never had to link the games together but doing so made it another expansion and thats included in eod the new edition also add several other things to entice another purchase from even eod users because they cant sell their game to anyone the new edition is also just fucking stupid its pure pay to win being added in so they can try and get some of the cheat devs money

How is arena not dlc? I would consider warzone on cod to be dlc not a fully separate game. as far as I know dlc is just additional content for a game, New game mode, etc

This argument kind of confuses me. Do you remember how everyone who had EoD flipped shit because at first they weren't going to be given access to arena, because it IS a completely different game? Fast forward a year and it's the same story again.
This community has a terrible history with overreaction. Go back and literally remember every change that "would kill this game" .. Micro transactions, inertia, found in raid, how far back do you wanna go? A large portion of us paid $150 for EoD upwards of 4+ years ago. If you buy a sports title every year you would have spent around $275 in the same time frame.
No one is forcing you to upgrade, nor did anyone force you to upgrade to EoD. And maybe people are missing the point, DLC's normally come after a games full release..

Not true, it is DLC because they are combining the games and you will play your PMC in Arena.. at least that's what they said.
