Description

Embark Studios just released the results of the ARC Raiders PvE toggle test, and with over 30 million rounds played, the data has sparked a massive civil war in the community. Embark admitted the test was "polarizing," meaning their final decision in November will inevitably alienate a massive chunk of the player base.

We break down the massive data haul, what "game health" really means for player retention, and the three possible outcomes for the future of ARC Raiders. Will Embark double down on hardcore extraction PvPvE, or pivot to keep the co-op PvE audience?

Let me know in the comments: Do you want the Purist, Split, or Compromise outcome?
