The past decade in gaming has seen this problem arise in many different game development studios, excluding female player characters due to the projected workload it would add, and this isn't even Battlestate's first time running into a controversy over it. Comments from the company made in 2016, about Escape From Tarkov 's vision of war being too stressful for women and only a place for "hardened men," are now also getting negative attent

As stated before, Escape from Tarkov is currently the hot topic on many live streaming platforms. That’s right, both Twitch and Mixer are currently heavily engaged in the title. Though there has been recent drama within the streaming community, with the now Mixer exclusive streamer, Ninja, and Reverse2K recently breaking up their friendship over an argument had during a Fortnite session. The argument in question was unsurprisingly about their rivaling streaming platfo

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

Escape from Tarkov has a ton of potential. While games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have adopted a large map and large player count, they have done away with the fear and emotion that players feel when risking their life and their equipment. If you die in those games, you just leave the match and via Tarkovescapezone start again. If dinner is ready early, you can just quit out of the game. Escape from Tarkov understands its audience and has crafted a game specifically for t

Streaming Escape From Tarkov, the tactical first-person shooter that has been gaining traction on streaming platforms very recently, Dr DisRespect openly admitted to really enjoying the game, claiming "I'm not going to lie man, this game is kinda sick." He went onto further his praise for the title, stating "It's not the fastest game, we're not jumping out of vehicles, ponytail flapping in the wind, getting struck by lightning while we are AK-ing somebody, two-tapping them using proximity chat. I know it's not that type of violence, speed, and momentum, but there's a certain level of intensity and build-

Over Twitter, Battlestate recently responded to queries over whether or not Escape From Tarkov would get female PCs with a definitive no, writing that playable female characters wouldn't fit the "game lore," and adding that the "huge amount of work" it would take to add in extra animations and gear fitting eliminates the possibility. The game has been growing in popularity recently due to Twitch streamers broadcasting their gameplay, and the heavier spotlight led to Battlestate's female character comments from 2016 being uneart

Streamer Dr DisRespect has been one of the biggest mainstays on Twitch for a while now, with the comedic personality winning awards for his content and finding major success both in the world of video games and outside of it. It’s safe to say that’s he’s a major influence on what games find popularity on the streaming scene, with massive titles such as Fortnite , PUBG , and Apex Legends all being crucial parts of his content over the last year. However, it seems as though Dr DisRespect may be looking to start 2020 by hopping on one of the biggest current Twitch tre

In Ubisoft's case, former animator Jonathan Cooper weighed in to disagree, informing fans that adding female animations should really only take a couple of extra days of production; funnily enough, Ubisoft's next game Assassin's Creed Syndicate featured the female PC, Evie Frye. Battlestate hasn't immediately commented on its own decision, but given that the old "too much work" excuse doesn't seem to work as well these days, perhaps the company will also take a cue from those who have been in their position bef

The new location will offer players combat in tight corridors and large open areas, but will also bring firefights above and below as multiple floors within the laboratory walls keep enemies together. There is also a new consumable called Stimulators which will increase player skills but at the cost of affecting hea
