Some players say they're running out of things to do

Arc Raiders isn't even a month old yet, but some of its most dedicated players are already hoping for developer Embark to focus on adding new content to keep things fresh for them – a demand not everyone agrees should be the priority.
Over the last few days, a clip of streamer Ali 'Myth' Kabbani has been doing the rounds after the content creator stated that he'd "rather receive new content over fixing non-game-breaking bugs every day of the week. I don't care. If it doesn't break the game, just give me new content. I'll swallow the new content, and that will be the pill that I have to swallow. I would much rather deal with that, if I've got to pick one."

Myth knows this isn't a popular take, and responses online prove it. "This game isn't made for people who play 8–12 hours a day as if it's their job," one tweet reads, arguing that anyone who's already maxed out their progression and reached level 75 is "not the main target audience." Another responds: "If you play it 8-10 hours a day, if you're level 75, hell if you even have all work benches Tier 3, you're in the minority."

But the thing is, Myth is not alone. In a Reddit post from earlier this month, one player states that "there is not enough content imo," although they're aware that they're "not the 'standard player' they use or should use to balance the game or the content around, because I played Tarkov for years and I play way more than the average guy." Even so, they argue: "I know there Is a lot of content to achieve by pvp and interacting with players, I right now have around 60h topside but I sadly start to get bored."
Elsewhere, in a post shared less than two weeks after the game's launch, another asks: "Anyone feel like content is missing? I think I pretty much reached end game." They note that after completing "all the missions, content, and activities," all they're left with is "blueprints and going out to PVP. Feels like there is nothing else to do?"
Equally, Reddit is also home to players who believe anyone who thinks Arc Raiders has a lack of content has simply played too much of it. One sarcastically writes: "I sweated at the game 24 hours a day and completed all of the content in a week. Why no content?"
Frankly, while both sides have valid points, Embark likely just needs to find some middle ground. Again, the game is less than a month old, so it's obviously going to get many more updates yet, but whether the devs will ever be able to satisfy everyone is debatable.
