No they won’t, because I’m not stupid enough to buy a ridiculously overpriced fridge.

I mean, sure, but that’s also against the rules and defeats the whole purpose. Just get a hosted seedbox at that point, the small ones are not very expensive.

That won’t work, private trackers require you to seed every torrent you download for at least a few days, some for weeks. Not following that rule will lead to hit and runs regardless of ratio.

The release window for Arc Raiders could not be worse. Right between Battlefield 6 and Tarkov 1.0. Also a few weeks ago Arena Breakout Infinite released, which is also a very competent extraction shooter, that I had lots of fun with before Bf6.

This activity is a good sign for Arc Raiders, however it’s only a free playtest while the full release will cost 40€. How many of those players enjoying it now will actually cough up this much money for a game in a genre with many failed games before it? Dark and Darker was hugely popular during its last playtest and rapidly declined after the paid (Early Access) release.

I hope that they’re successful with Arc Raiders. I think the extraction genre is super interesting and needs more healthy choices that are not Tarkov (which has so many problems of its own).
