But your tarkov streams and videos do have a complete unique twist on them which makes them very enjoyable to watch. Not to mention your community is top tier as well.

    Hex! I was wondering what any tips you would have for someone trying to do the same. I enjoy video games but I always enjoy what I enjoy in the moment. I have thought about doing something similar but I am just curious if you had anything that you would recommend and or not recommend? It is not about the views. It is about recording the joy I get from these games. People question me all the time what is so great about gaming. I then blankly stare off into the sunset because I cannot describe how I feel when; I win a 1v5, when I complete a terrifying raid, when I enjoy cruising throughout the streets with my close online friends. The moments. That is what I am about. I appreciate you for your honesty.

    Wouldn't say a lot. Every friend that I played tarkov with has gone down the list of cheap, shameless clones, praising it like they do every cod release and anything else that gets marketed. Then it doesn't work, they all quit it in 3 or 4 days and go to the next one and restart the cycle. Most people are brainless. Most people just follow the hype, unaware of the drool leaking down their chins as they type in their card info. They'll go back when or if these copies stop releasing weekly, unpolished clones.

Luckily you're a tad bit better than aqua, though that's not saying much. Also, Nikita doesn't care how many people are playing his game, there are no microtransactions. He cares about how many people buy unheard, if you want to send a message to Nikita boycotting wont do anything, not buying unheard will.

    Hell yeah Hex. I love your take on the whole tarky drama. Kinda where I stand as well. I hate when people feel like they gotta highroad over a VIDEO GAME. If you enjoy the game play it. If you dont, then dont. Just dont preach to me about how "scummy and terrible" the devs are just to be back in 3 months playing the game again.

    arena breakout is way better - much more social and funny - tarkov is more realistic but I enjoy AB more. I got tarkov for free and I got AB beta access free - so the tarkov drama didn't bother me tbh, AB is just a better experience.
