Escape From Tarkov is a constant gamble, as death is permanent. Players are weighing the cost-benefit ratios of taking a risk at every moment, doing their best to determine whether or not a reward is worth potentially losing everything else. The same type of feeling is found in DayZ , but DayZ ’s menu system makes for a much more sluggish experience. As soon as the sound of gunfire breaks out in Escape From Tarko v, players have to decide whether or not they want to stick around and wait to scavenge what’s left, become an active participant in the firefight - possibly leading to some John Wick moments , or simply dip out, putting a safe distance between them and the fight  
This is not the first time that Battlestate games has faced controversy for Escape From Tarkov . In 2018 the company began filing copyright infringement claims against a YouTuber for posting videos featuring its game. The YouTuber in question, Eroktic, had 47 different videos removed by YouTube because two of those E videos were alleged to contain misinformation after Eroktic stated that Battlestate had a data breach. Players have since accused Battlestate Games of abusing the system in order to remove videos that portray them in a negative light. For their part the studio claims to be innocent and that they were trying to stop Eroktic from slandering their game and comp  
The final day for Twitch's loot drops was January 5, as part of a New Year's event. It will be interesting to observe whether the game can maintain its pace in establish a long-term rise in prominence within the niche genre of online survival games, but since then, it has stayed strong. Prominent Twitch streamers such as DrDisrespect and DrLupo have continued their _ Escape From Tarkov _ streams, and the community still appears enthralled by it, as tens of thousands of viewers still tune-in to their near-daily stre  
Russian studio Battlestate Games is in hot water today following the resurfacing of an interview with one of its developers from 2016 and accusations of sexism in the development of Escape From Tarkov . In an interview with Alessio Palumbo at WCCF Tech , developer Pavel Dyatlov spoke about the game and its features, playstyle, platform release plans, and towards the end of the interview, the absence of wo  
In 2016 Wccftech interviewed Battlestate Games developer Pavel Dyatlov about the prospects of the game. During this interview the question of female soldiers being represented was brought up to Dyatlov and he almost immediately rejected the idea. His first response to the question was, " We considered that, but we came to the conclusion that women are not allowed to be in the war ." The interviewer corrected Dyatlov by saying that women are in fact allowed to see combat these days, but the developer did not change his stance on the issue and stated that women can't handle the stress. Battlestate Games has since released a statement to point out that the article in question is three years old and that the company as a whole does not share the same values of just one of their developers. They went on to say that the developer in question was reprimanded for his statements, but the game still does not have female charact

**Escape from Tarkov ** has been on a blitz lately with its name abuzz, viewership of the game on the rise on Twitch, and higher enrollment of active players. This is despite the fact the game has been playable in Alpha and Beta forms for a while now and is by no means a new game in that regard. There are a few obvious reasons for its sudden rise in popularity, as well as some more subtle and systemic reasons, all of which are potential mixtures of organic growth and initiatives taken on by the game's develop  
This may also explain, to a degree, why the online survival genre mostly tends to stay within the fringes of the mainstream, at best, and why large game companies have not invested heavily in the genre. For the time being, however, _ Escape from Tarkov _ has at least carved out its niche within the mainstream gameplay streaming communities online, while it has also proved itself a serious contender among actual gamers within the niche paradigm of online survival shooter games, and also presenting something very unique and game-changing from the usual PVP and Battle Royale formula as of late. While the momentum continues, we will have to wait and see whether _ Escape from Tarkov _ shifts up or down in gear over the coming weeks or mon  
Escape From Tarkov isn't perfect, far from it, in fact, but it is incredibly immersive. For those that have dove in, it should be obvious why streamers like Dr. Disrespect have declared it their new favorite game. That immersion goes much further than Tarkov 's main competitors, Day Z and Arma III, and The near-complete lack of a HUD is responsible for most of that immersion, as it forces players to view the world as it would really be seen. To get specific information, players have to dive into the menu - a move that may get a player killed depending on the circumstance. All players can really see are minor details informing them of how much noise they're making and the speed they're currently mov
