Honestly this is one of those games that has become so split in community half wants it to stay the same half wants a pve mode or something casual and the developers have basically said f you to anyone that wants a casual experience. Should become standard practice that if you spent money on a game and this situation comes around where the developers only appease half the player base then those unsatisfied should be able to say f the developer and get a full refund no matter how much time they've put in.

This is not a hard situation escape from tarkov is doing just fine and has a pve only mode and a pvp mode that doesn't interact with each other at all.

Edit to add : I like the current pvpve mode it does create a more interesting and fun experience imo. At the same time I'm not a narcissistic a** hole and can sympathize with those that desire the pve casual mode.

Great game and I'm glad its on steam <3
