BattleState Games, the creator of Escape from Tarkov, faced criticism for restricting its new PvE mode to the $250 collector's edition. The company's COO, Nik Buyanov, apologized for not anticipating the negative reaction and announced that the mode will now also be accessible to Edge of Darkness edition owners in phases, due to server limitations. Additionally, the collector's edition will be adjusted to ensure balance and fairness.
