New Blood Interactive co-founder says Escape from Tarkov "caused irreparable f***ing damage to the game industry" after finding out The Duskbloods is multiplayer and not "Bloodborne 2"

New Blood Interactive co-founder Dave Oshry isn't a huge fan of the PvPvE online multiplayer direction FromSoftware opted for with the Switch 2-exclusive Duskbloods, and he blames it on the success of extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov.

In a new episode of the Quad Damage Podcast (timestamp), Oshry goes on an amusing rant about Escape from Tarkov and in general, the growing prevalence of games like it. He begins by sharing his reaction to the reveal of The Duskbloods, which he says looked like "Bloodborne 2" until he found out it was a multiplayer game.
