[@MrChris00078]

This studio has, on numerous occasions, engaged in incredibly anti-consumer practices. Back around 2018 for example, they flat out refused to refund the game for players with zero in-game playtime when they couldn't even launch the game properly, due to the game not working on certain hardware configurations. If your average gamer grew a backbone and boycotted these studios as they should, these business practices would disappear within a year.

[@CecilioSprayetti]

Hes trying to have the mindset of an average Eastern European owner/developer in a game with a big western audience.

@@lanabobana3311 So someone apologizing for hurting your feelings after you make it clear to them is wrong? Guess it depends on what you confront them for. Like if you confront someone about denying the holocaust, then yeah... "I'm sorry that you feel that way." is an awful response. But if someone accidentally hurt your feelings and you confront them about THAT, then that response would be perfectly fine, empathetic even.

[@reaperofburgers]

​@@Ss4Goten There's obvious nuances and context to take into consideration with that, and you're honestly just twisting it, someone apologizing for hurting your feelings and someone saying "sorry you feel that way about it" are two different things, ones more likely to be genuine, and ones a slap in the face.

[@veldinsparx]

@@Ss4Goten No, saying I'm sorry you feel that way is essentially just saying "Sorry you're a little baby and got your feelings hurt over nothing" The correct way to be empathetic in a situation like that is to take responsibility, even if it was an accident, and say "I'm sorry -I- made you feel that way." It's very nuanced but it's the difference between putting the blame entirely on the other person and almost making it seem like they're annoying you for sharing their dumb feelings with you that they shouldn't have or taking responsibility for your accident

[@Ilivedbih]

It's what my narcissistic (genuine napd) abusive step dad used to say *all the time* with an arrogant tone as well lol, it makes my skin crawl and tells me enough about a person

[@awesomeferret]

It's not as inappropriate as many people think, but it very much is a way to not apologize to someone. It's basically a polite way to tell people you have no intention of apologizing to them, but many people seem to lump it in with gaslighting (it can theoretically be used to gaslight someone, but you really can feel sorry that someone feels a certain way without being incredibly rude). Heck, I still think "I'm sorry" in response to hearing about a tragedy that happened to you is a bit offensive since a friend apologizing for something they didn't do doesn't help solve any problems, but most people seem to disagree with me.

[@awesomeferret]

@@Ilivedbih grammatically, it's reasonable, and in some contexts, can actually be evidence of good character. You hit the nail on the head there: it's all about tone and context. I had similar parents and it's interesting how the exact same words can count as either real love or blatant emotional abuse depending on the context and tone. It caused me a lot of trauma since it's effectively my parents saying "I'm not willing to validate your feelings" (my parents sometimes think that validating opinions is the same as agreeing with them, which is very toxic to conflate the two for what I still hope are incredibly obvious reasons).

[@octavianpopescu4776]

I don't see what the big deal is with that statement (independently of the whole Tarkov situation). "I'm sorry you feel this way" is a perfectly fine apology. This is why one should never apologise, because someone will twist that and say it's not enough. I see this over and over again, people apologising and everyone not accepting it. Then what's the point? Don't apologize and just acknowledge instead. "X was a mistake" and that's it, but never say you're sorry, because people will attack you for it. As for Tarkov... I don't do multiplayer games and I'd be insane to pay 250 USD for it.

The way I see it is this: Let's say you open up a Savings Account with a bank that promises you 10% interest per year. you Put $250 into that account, hoping to recieve 25 bucks next year, and so on, under the stipulation that you can't get the original $250 itself back. so you're only receiving the interest so long as you leave that $250 alone, but you hope that after enough time, the interest itself pays back what you spent for it. But then your bank tells you they won't actually give you this year's interest payment unless you pay, say, an additional 10 bucks or so, which instead of an additional investment, they label it as some sort of Fee to justify it. So technically, you only got $15 profit that year on your investment, And the amount of money you put in is *more* than you originally planned to. See how terrible that sounds? Now replace that interest with the Content you receive for the game, and/or the intended enjoyment you would receive from it. you get less enjoyment overall from the simple fact you had to pay more than you intended for it, *even if you technically still received the original interest payment.*

I don't even follow Tarkov (not my type of game) so I legit thought Charlie was talking about some in-game currency to purchase this DLC when he said "250 clams".

I bought it about a year ago, it was fun for about six months, but then the cheaters got absolutely out of control.

[@mcmudger1538]

I’m so happy that you are coving this! If you do happen to make a third video on this and happen to read my comment there are two things I think you should point out that are important the first one being that in the unheard edition you are able to “call in for backup” from your friends list. So people can literally have there friends SPAWN in the MIDDLE of a raid! It’s an extraction shooter and I think that’s just game breaking. The second point is that a lot of hackers on EFT have come out and actually have been targeting the Unheard users. Last night I just saw a hacker live-streaming on TikTok going after people who bought the unheard edition and people who play the game were supporting the hacker for doing this . Again thank you for putting a massive spotlight on this issue and just being a great guy. Hopefully you make another video and point these two things out because I think it would show just how, one broken and unfair the unheard edition is and how mad people really are about it.

[@notsteve5927]

Yeah, but Train Sim is a highly-specialized, niche product. People who enjoy it are ready to pay for it since there are almost no alternatives. Same thing with The Sims - no existing competition.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

@@notsteve5927 I mean, if we are going that route, then sorry to say but extraction shooters and shooters in general are also fairly niche and almost no variable competition inside each category. There are sub genres inside FPS and each game inside their subgenre tends to look and play like every other, it's what makes us even categorize them together. Extraction shooters, military simulators and tactical shooters tend to have one or two games at most. But, most importantly, when a game in that sub genre gets away with increasing monetization, the rest follow suit. My point being, if we are to follow that it's acceptable to pay more in one instance, it will inevitably end up becoming the new model for all.

[@Dutchman451]

Train simulator is also a feature complete game that's not still in "early access", beta testing. The main problem isn't the price, it's the blatant p2w features on top of a buggy, broken game that, while fun sometimes, is completely mired by being unfinished and unpolished. Instead of fixing the audio or netcode and monetizing the game through cosmetics, bsg decided it would be best to fuck the playerbase over

I was playing a game of Insurgency Sandstorm a while back on the PvE mode, and while we were waiting for the round start we were chatting, and someone asked if we played Tarkov. One guy said no, since hackers were so abundant in game. The guy challenged him on it, said maybe it wasn’t so bad and the devs were working on it. This guy then had us join his personal discord server, wherein he provided screenshots from a game hacking server he was a member of. The screenshots were of leaked code and patch information from Tarkov that could assist with workarounds for the new patch. Thing is, the leaks on the server were dated ONE WEEK before the patch actually dropped. Tarkov has been screwed for years from the inside, so this is just digging the hole a little deeper than it already was.
