Everyone has a price. Maybe it’s $100, maybe it’s $1,000, maybe it’s for someone to see your innate value as a human being, or maybe it’s $1,000,000. Popular streamer TimTheTatman recently revealed what it would take to get him to go back to Arc Raiders<\/a>, and spoilers, it’s not the third option. <\/p>\n

There was apparently an ad deal floating around for the Arc Raiders and Subway collab, which TimTheTatman was approached for, but did not entertain. “I did say no to six-figures with Arc Raiders, I did,” he revealed in a stream<\/a> earlier this week. “I said ‘No thank you’. And it was the Subway Arc Raiders ad. I said I just can’t do it, I’m sorry.”<\/p>\n

This was met with the exact response you’d expect with people being baffled that he’d ever think of turning down such a lucrative offer. “That’s kind of the funny part of being in a streamer position,” TimTheTatman continued. “People say ‘you’re a fucking sellout’ but then in the same breath I said I passed on six-figures from Arc Raiders and people are like ‘you’re fucking stupid’.” <\/p>\n

He revealed that he does actually have a price to play Arc Raiders again: they’d just have had to add another zero onto the offer. “If that Arc Raiders deal was seven-figures\u2014hey boys welcome back to Arc Raiders and Subway, right, you see what I’m saying? 100% we’re going back. But it’s just for me, the game frustrated me so much\u2014I got frustrated so much with that game, I just don’t want to play it ever again. Even to a point where six-figures isn’t going to get me back on it.” <\/p>\n

I can’t say I’m surprised. Arc Raiders is in a bit of a rough spot right now, especially for streamers, what with all the cheating and stream sniping. Embark Studios’ executive producer Aleksander Gr\u00f8ndal recently admitted the shortcomings of Arc Raiders<\/a> and promised that its upcoming major update Frozen Trails will reset the game and provide enough incentive to get players to come back, though\u2014even if they don’t get a six-figure deal to do it. <\/p>\n
