they pledged no pay to win

[Cartermatic]

day one early access open beta... $25 for 2.5 mill koen.
$0.99 for a full kitted m4 and t4 armor set. $15 dollars for a key holder. the biggest offender is the ability to STRAIGHT up buy koen, the main currency in the game.. WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥ LOL

really lmao literally pay to win

how can you say that with a straight face? im 4 time kappa, if i buy all the t5-6 armor and high end ammo, i will rarely ever die in this game. it is 100% pay to win. you put that gear into a skilled players hands for EVERY raid... its pay to win.. its literally straight up pay for power

EDIT: i read your comment wrong, i am sorry. i believe you were agreeing with me. apologies!!

[Miracle_Man]

I think they were agreeing with you but yeah this killed any desire to play this game. It's really a shame too. I had a lot of fun in the beta test.

Well, now we know why they didn't launch on steam, they just wanted to dodge a hard review bombing + the 30% steam taxes, you can buy unlimited amount of in-game money. "Escape from Tarkov killer" they said

oh once it goes live on steam its gonna be a massacre. im feeling a sub 20% pos review score

[Jimty Ganword]

All this hype for that final result, what a disappointment, but i'm not even surprised

Me and my friend thought this game was the dogs balls, but after seeing this in game you evne have to pay to speak? buy chat messages? wtf? we both turned it off and went back to grey zone. what a bloody shame, this game could have 100% being the next big game, better than tarkov by a mile imo, all RUINED because of this mobile greed...

Well this is a let down. There is no need for this style p2w on this type of game. Why not just sell skins. All aestetics.

Season pass with 100+ unlocks of cosmetics and wep skins and char skins would 100% have made tons of money and kept everyone happy, On a personal moral level I can never play this game to know the guy who just killed me fully kitted out just used his credit card. nah, nope never.

agreed

as a mature person, i gotta say THANK GOD! i didnt picked any fight with tarkov fans, i would be eating my own words right now, gotta take this L and backpedal quietly to queue on tarkovs wipe and claim i couldnt open the game on steam and feing ignorance, LITERLLY theres no point on looting i see loot and i 10 times would preffer to slide a credit card and run t4 kits per weeks without worrying about loot, feeling rn like a cheap Battle royale theres no progression and no real reason to loot anything

I loved Tarkov but you won’t see me on that game again either. Bridges burned

this would only matter if people who had no life didnt exist, p2w only makes it better for you so you have a higher chance to get good gear instead of having to kill the nolife tryhards for it

no it means the people who have a life NEED to pay to keep up. idk if you noticed, but they increased the average price of everything in the store and auction house as well to incentivize purchasing koen with real money. if you no life the game you probably wont need to spend assuming you are okay at the game. for people that cant play all day will need to spend money to at least buy things like keys etc to progress in the game. they dont have time to knock out 500 raids on a 1% key drop rate

I think Devs think the mobile players and PC players are the same. I had some fun but I will not invest anymore time it this game knowing that whales will always be on the top.

I could throw some money at the good game but it looks like most paid benefits (if not all) are not lasting.

I thought there will be PvE mode, which would make P2W less important. No luck.

Uninstalled.

I rather play GZW.
