It’s absolutely just wordplay so they can scam more money out of consumers. Arguably Arena could be considered DLC also, but that’s even more of a seperate mode than this. It sounds like there’s now just progression tied to the existing offline raid mode, which is obviously just trying to capitalise on the increasing popularity of SP Tarkov.
I don’t think it’s really possible for them to shut down SP Tarkov (due to BattleState’s immeasurable copyright breaches themselves), so it’s wild if anyone actually pays $250 for this.
Basically all of the guns in there are real world manufacturers and models without their names changed and not licensed. Aside from that pretty much every item is a branding rip off with one letter changed. For example “Slickers” bars that look identical to Snickers and “Tarcola”, which is a copy paste of a Coke can. Even body armour, bags, cases are all identically modelled on real world products.
Because they are based entirely in Russia and only sell directly through their website, no companies can really come after them. I don’t see them starting up legal battles to secure their own IP in the US or EU without a shitstorm coming down on them.

They got a ton of copyright breaches? Oh tell me more!
