After facing backlash, the developer of Escape From Tarkov, Battlestate, has agreed to give access to the new PvE mode to players who purchased the $150 Edge of Darkness edition of the game.
Battlestate COO Nikita Buyanov issued a statement apologizing for the negative response and stated that future decisions would consider fan feedback.
Changes have been made to address player complaints, but some commenters are still unsatisfied with the apology and express concerns about future moves by Battlestate.
The reputation of Battlestate has been affected, and the trust of Tarkov players may be difficult to regain.
