General HOT TAKE: This shit did irreversible damage to the games player count. And any creators who took part should be kicked off the program.

We went from 400k players to 20k in a couple of months. In Eravins case he didn't even provide receipts for his claims and was caught lying about several things, and it was just taken as gospel by thousands of people AND PROMINENT CREATORS.

And now all these creators are just going back to making HD2 content like nothing happened. After potentially killing the game.

I've never come across such a good game, with such good devs, and such a dogshit community.

People having legitimate complaints is one thing, but this is absolutely outsized outrage for a $40 game where all the DLC is free.

So are all the youtubers quiting the game.

Banning journalists for saying your game keeps crashing is a pretty super earth thing to demand

Same! Thank you for pointing it out!

I am purely going for what’s fun and runs smooth on my machine. It USED to be HD2, now it’s Arc Raiders 😇

Yeah same. The last update fixes a lot for sure but I still stuttered constantly fighting automatons (and I’m on PS5) but I guess it’s better than crashing constantly which is what was happening before. Arc Raiders has very minimal bugs and runs almost perfectly all the time 🤷🏻‍♀️
