I recall either seeing a player base chart or twitch viewer chart, in which tarkov this wipe has significantly less players. I really do believe its because they keep nerfing the game. Flea bans, ineria, weight and strength impact, recoil, sights, just about everything.Very rarely do people find themselves excited that something has been made worse in a game. While I understand its an an effort for “realism”, realism doesn’t equal fun. For casuals, it kills the experience. This is by far the worst wipe Ive played out and everyone in which i play with seem to agree.The best part of this game was running around shooting people then getting crazy loot.Now everything feels so slow , and I don’t find any “dopamine hit” loot like old gpus. Im sure all the mil sim players will disagree, but the majority of gamers like fast, intense games, hence why battle royals are so popular. The video game aspect of the game is getting shit on, and it defintely shows in the player base
