Original Story: In what has rapidly eclipsed Fallout 4's mod-breaking "next-gen" update as the biggest unforced error of the week in PC gaming, Escape From Tarkov dev Battlestate is still holding firm that players who bought the $150 Edge of Darkness edition of the game will not have access to an upcoming PvE mode in the game—one where your progress persists between server wipes, no less. That feature was announced as part of a new $250 Unheard Edition—even though the $150 EoD edition promised access to "all future DLC" for Tarkov.
In a statement shared on the Tarkov subreddit, Battlestate offered some conciliatory new pricing options for the PvE mode, and also claimed that the mode's servers won't be able to handle the traffic from every $150 EoD player in early access.
