Everything Pat talks about in this video, particularly from around roughly the halfway point and onward, is why I will never knowingly and willingly play a "live service" game, ever. To fucking hell forever with "live service"/"Gaa$" games. Not even if it's free, but especially not if it's fucking "pReMiUm."
And Woolie, no, Tarkov is absolutely not goddamned free to play. Jesus Christ is it so not free to play. Thanks for blighting my mind with the (hopefully blessedly brief) memory of Tarkov again, Woolie. *weary sigh*
