This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. "Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out"

This is the first im hearing of project fika, I'd actually looked into co-op SPT a few months back and things weren't seeming optimistic, it's super cool that it's come that far.

And yes, the game has tons of detail and it's worth at least brushing up on some wiki articles to understand things like ammunition hierarchy. I actually tend to prefer games that lend themselves to a bit of research to get the most out of them (300 hours in Elite Dangerous and I'm still a noob).

Really I was just trying to make the point that this is a game where if you just want to jump in for a few matches without doing that research, you'll get absolutely demolished, even if you don't meet a cheater, because so many people play this game obsessively.

That's why I vastly prefer PVE and always will. That detail is there, but I'm not at a complete disadvantage if I want to take a more relaxed approach. I'm not forced into a match against players who take this video game more seriously than I take my job.
