"You're Just a Cheater": Nikita Buyanov Personally Helped Solve a Player's Problem in Escape from Tarkov
Battlestate Games head Nikita Buyanov has once again confirmed his reputation as the most straightforward developer in the industry. It all started with a teaser for the upcoming Escape from Tarkov update, which Buyanov posted on social media. In the comments, one player complained that they had been supporting the project since 2019 but weren't getting proper attention from support.
Nikita asked for the ticket number and an hour later delivered the verdict: "you used a radar cheat." The post gathered 150 thousand views, and fans supported the developer—many believe the complainer exposed himself. He denies everything, but it wasn't difficult for the studio to confirm the violation.
A bit later, another user demanded that Buyanov get off social media and focus on optimization. The response was swift: "Don't tell me what to do, buddy. I'll sit on Twitter for a bit before I go personally optimize the game."
