⚠️ NEW VIDEO ⚠️
Come learn why a group of AAA devs decided to branch off and create one of the most stylish new worlds in years, and how they’ve utterly revived my love for art in games.
⬇️ Below ⬇️
According to the CEO, if you camp in one location for too long, mosquitos will become louder and annoy you until you move to a new location. No this is not a joke.
#GrayZoneWarfare
"Everyone will still just play
#Tarkov
tomorrow"
Obviously people will in the future if they want... but I think it's very healthy for people to step away from playing a single game all day every day.
Variety is good in life, no matter what.

In response to LZ camping in
#GZW
: confirmed you WILL be able to shoot from helicopters, and MFG are working on systems to allow helicopters to land in many locations, rather than in the same spot every time. Good to hear.
They are letting us continue to play GROUND ZERO after level 15! There will be two queues: one for people only under level 15 and one for everyone else. HUGE W, I really love the map.
#EscapefromTarkov
I think there's a sentiment that it's yet another day of the
#EFT
community freaking out, and that we'll all go back to playing the game in a week.
Today, it actually doesn't feel that way.
We'll see, but it's clear that Tarkov isn't the only option any more, for some.
There are many people very angry today.
That being said, don't take your anger out on the human beings who made the game you love, or loved (past-tense). I'm sure BSG devs are gonna get death threats, etc.
That's not cool. Relax, and just don't play the game.
#escapefromtarkov
I may have been wrong about several things in regard to BSG’s financials in the past, but judging by their actions here… they MUST be backed into a corner financially. Either that or they are just unfathomably greedy. Or both.
They clearly need money bad.
I played 1k hours of Hunt Showdown before I got into Tarkov. I know it’s niche and weird, but it’s a PURE PVP extraction shooter with borderline perfect balancing, and THE BEST AUDIO IN A VIDEOGAME, period. It’s always been underrated. Some of y’all need to try it out.
Potential alternatives and pivots if you're an Escape From Tarkov creator looking for a new game.

In due time:
Seeing a room full of devs watching a YT video I made about their game is both indescribably humbling, and also so anxiety inducing 😬 😅
That aside, the connection and care these people have w/ fans is really meaningful, and I hope my ideas are challenging AND motivating 🫡
I won’t lie: at the end of wipe 13.5, I was feeling a little meh about Tarkov . You might have noticed this sentiment in my attitude on twitter.
This wipe has, in 3 days, COMPLETELY revitalized my passion for this game. I’m super excited for its future.
Some people have been unhappy with devs talking about what hardware is or isn’t “outdated”. But yeah, a GTX 1080 is going to be close to a 10 year old GPU soon.
Yes, you’re getting old.
I recently had a conversation with a player who said they had "recent hardware" which was a GTX1080 and a i7 4790K. The GPU is from 2016, and the CPU is from 2014.
I think the PS4 launched somewhere around then. Just for reference.
PvE mode is a unique feature which is available only for the owners of The Unheard Edition.
We will keep you updated on new features exclusive for EOD owners
#EscapefromTarkov
Last rant tweet about unheard: the biggest bummer to me is that PvE mode is locked behind a $100 paywall. I likely, as I waned away from
#Tarkov
, would have casually played an offline PvE mode years from now, and legit expected it to eventually come as a DLC perk for EOD owners.

#ABI
Should MFG they have given
#GrayZoneWarfare
more time? Of course, ideally they would give it years and completely finish the game. But the tradeoff with an indie EA game is short term: you get to play an unfinished thing as its built, and in turn they get funding to make it.
So this was actually NOT expected… all the GZW keys I was able to give away a week or so ago during the test were NOT just for that test; if you got a key, you own the game now.
The more you know!
🙌 Were you a part of the
#GZW
playtest? You get to keep the game!
Everyone who received a key in last week's playtest (including invitees) will receive the Standard Edition of
#GrayZoneWarfare
on release.
Happy Hunting, and remember,
#EveryMoveMatters

Hot take: if BSG really NEED more money, let people buy Gamma. Hell, a ton of people already did and more would like to.
Just keep mtx away from stuff that is currently tied to progression.
As for if/why they need more $, that’s a different conversation.
#EFT
@FriendlyGuyTTV
I talk about this a bit in my video on it; but I think MFG need to be very careful about designing the game around streamers and content creators.
Incentivising the PvP has never been the plan, and I hope streamer's interests doesn't distract from the orignal design ideas.
Thoughts on EFT 0.14 after one day:
A Thread
Despite the server instability, this is the best EFT has ever run on a wipe day in my experience. No lag, DCs or crashes. Once I was in the game I had no issues at all and queue+load tomes improved over the day.
People really seem to want to believe I'm sponsored or paid by MFG to talk about
#GrayZoneWarfare
in the way I do.
I'm new to this whole space. As y'all get to know me better, it'll become clear that I'm just a passionate guy. If get interested in something, I get INTO it.
What IS or ISN'T DLC is one of the important conversations here into the future: it NEEDS to firmly defined by BSG.
But IMO; it's not the biggest part in this whole thing.
The biggest issue is that we no longer feel like we can trust what BSG even says.
#EscapefromTarkov
Discussions around
#ArenaBreakoutInfinite
have, more than anything, brought my mind back to CoD Blackout again and again.
IMO: this was one of the best Battle Royales ever made. I wish there was some universe where it could exist again, for free. I would play the hell out of it
Pest watched and broke down some of the points in my video; as always, he has some very intelligent and balanced takes!
I think his is a perfect partner video to watch after you watch mine, so definitely go check it out!!
Seeing lots of creators jump on the
#GrayZoneWarfare
"quest guide" grind. And more power to them, but personally I'd love for quests quest design to incentivize figuring things out in-game rather than opaqueness creating a reliance on videos guides.
With time of course
Important note for everyone: MFG aren’t releasing
#GrayZoneWarfare
tomorrow as some cool marketing scheme to capitalize on hype or industry drama, they have been planning what they’re doing for a long time.
Game’s barely started its journey; it’s awesome to see them get here!
Hey guys, I can finally reveal the release date. See you tomorrow, guys 😉 Btw, we're a few days late from the original release date, as we promised to give keys to creators/streamers one week before release. Sorry about that, but we needed to fix some stuff based on playtesting.
How to piss off my entire viewerbase part 2:
I love RNG in games. I love randomness. I love moments that make me go "WHAT" because of how unpredictable they are, for good or bad. When a game is predictable, when I feel like I can master it, I get bored. I move on.

Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
We’re still
IMO: "Ground Zero" may be a map for low level players. That doesn't mean it should be an easy map. Tarkov is hard. It should be hard. People need to get absolutely destroyed to get any better at the game
Yeah, this is exactly what I feared. A huge part of the reason I ever grinded to level 55 was to get BEAR Telnik and G99, both of which used to be a huge flex, both of which now have zero meaning. Super dissapointing
Purchase of in-game apparel sets is now available on the "Expansions" page on the official Escape from Tarkov website.
Unlocking apparel is available regardless of the game edition. Players can also unlock clothing normally through in-game mechanics.
#EscapefromTarkov
I honestly think anyone who’s been following the game for more than a second knew it would launch unfinished and unpolished.
IMO: there’s an unfortunate number of “this will be my tarkov replacement” people who showed up and expected something from the game it wasn’t.
Heard Gray Zone kinda getting review bombed. To anyone who was dying to get in when we had early access last week, i thought we expressed enough that although it was cool and fun it needed a ton of work before coming out. Idk why anyone is surprised. Game still has a lot of
Some people might be wondering at my complete radio silence about
#GrayZoneWarfare
's gameplay reveal.
I won't be making a video about it, because as I'm now allowed to say: I've already played the game.
My full thoughts will be coming pretty soon. Stay tuned.
Get a look at 23 minutes of exclusive gameplay from Gray Zone Warfare, the upcoming Unreal Engine 5-powered military shooter from developer Madfinger Games.
Less than 24 hours from the Early Access release date reveal.
The upcoming trailer is also very special to us, as it includes gameplay featured from a few creators who were able to play in the very 1st preview test back in March.
Are you prepared?
#GZW
#GrayZoneWarfare
I’m not a big fan of leaks, but I am 1000% going to look into this. Say what you will about tencent, but a free to play Tarkov on PC is going to be an important moment.
Looking into how I can get my hands on it to see for myself.
LEAK:
Announcement trailer for "Arena Breakout: INFINITE."
Tencent's popular Realistic Mil-Sim Mobile Extraction Tactical-FPS is finally coming to PC as a brand new game.
CLOSED BETA playtest within next few weeks of Early May.
When I started posting Longform videos in December, my goal was 50k subscribers by EOY 2024. Then, I lowered that goal to May. We just hit 50k, 3 days into February. I really don’t know what my goal should be anymore, I don’t know what to say.
Thank you.
I’ll ask this a couple times over the next month, but from the community:
What questions do you have for the team at
@MADFINGERGames
about
#GrayZoneWarfare
’s future development?
Don't have much time today to respond to this, but yeah, it's a "step in the right direction". But the biggest concern I've had over the last week is that I feel I cannot trust BSG at their word due to their actions.
Some promised stuff in the future doesn't change that for me.
Yesterday, I had the privelege of talking one on one w/
@MarekRabas
, the lead designer for
@GrayZoneWarfare
. I learned MANY cool things, and many of my burning questions were answered. I'll be breaking it down for you all very soon, stay tuned!
#GrayZoneWarfare
This game came out of nowhere and immediately became my MOST anticipated title, period.
I've been chatting with the devs for the last couple months, and what they're cooking here is absolutely insane. I cannot wait to talk to you all more about it.
#TheForeverWinter
The Forever Winter is a looter shooter set amid a dynamic war between building-sized mechs, where firing your gun could be the biggest mistake you make.
I wanna make it abundantly clear: I'm not rooting for the death of Tarkov, for ABI or GZW to kill it, etc. I would love a world where people can enjoy several slightly similar games for different reasons.
Today has been a whirlwind, and it's just all fascinating to watch😬

This will sound pretty whiney, but my "hype" over
@tarkovarena
completely died. I don't know anything about gamedev and I'm not BSG, but the Streets patch a year ago was a perfect example of well built hype, and I LOVED the first Streets, despite how broken it was.
@MoiDawg
This is incorrect, it's a language barrier thing. What he's saying in this post is that they will add the ability to purchase offline co-op, which was until then, and EOD-only feature. They did add that, you can buy it for $10. He's not talking about what was shown today.
I saw someone suggest this already (forgot who, apologies) but a Streamer Mode for
#Helldivers2
is a great idea. Where viewers can act as a creator’s reinforcements; every time one dies, a new Helldiver from the viewer queue drops in, and it just goes down the list.
I should have my spot secured to try this out on May 8th.
Will this REPLACE
#Tarkov
? No, it’s gonna be different. But in the ways that Fortnite, Apex and Warzone all added good ideas to BR, the PvP extraction shooter genre hasn’t had an actual contender in ages, and needs one.

If it was me in this position as BSG:
-EOD gets PvE mode
-PvE gets added as paid option for other editions, $35
-The two p2w items (60m scavs) are exclusively for PvE offline, not real Pvp raids
-Pockets upgrade achievable in game
-Add EOD back as an upgrade below Unheard
BSG making their own
#Tarkov
beginner guide is interesting for 2 reasons:
It’s making the game more beginner friendly, which BSG have greatly warmed to.
It seems to set mechanics in stone; why do this unless the game is close to content complete? IMO: Release is close.
My first ever little personal goal as a creator was to get 100k followers on Tiktok without ever interacting with the app or once opening the “For You” page.
Nailed it.
The one account I follow is “Grizzly Medical Kit Approves” and that will never change.
Haven't seen Fallout, but it and the Last of Us prove that Longform high production value TV is where game adaptations will thrive.
TLOU was a direct adaptation and Fallout seems to be expanding with new characters. Both work.
What series deserves a show?
IMO: Dead Space.
