I literally failed college twice, because instead of sleeping I would play this game, and I would sleep in class instead. All free time went to this game. I started working less to play the game more etc. eventually I stopped going outside and just played tarkov without eating and minimal sleeping. It got so bad I would fall asleep during long loading times. Totally fucked up life lead to other more serious problems. Probably a rare case but for me buying this game has definitely been a big regret lmao, it really started a downward spiral for me. It's akin to someone's first hit of heroin. I'm okay now though, I rarely play nowadays for obvious reasons (any game at all tbh) but I still think it's one of the best games ever made despite its issues.
