GR-UK writes: Warships and football. Perhaps an odd combo, but as Wargaming's Frazer Nash tells us at E3, it all makes sense. We caught up with the WoW frontman to talk to him about the company's continued growth.
"We've been doing the download and the F2P market for a long time now. We're successful because we got the model right at the beginning, and we're still getting the model right now. For us in the gaming industry, in ten years time, this will just be the norm."
We also touched on how player feedback is making the Xbox 360 version of World of Tanks unique, and their plans for new-gen.
This seems like an interesting pairing. Wargaming, the publisher, and developer of the leading naval multiplayer World of Warships, has today announced an official partnership with pop-culture icon Popeye the Sailor Man in a special collaboration recognizing World Ocean Month.
Wargaming, publisher and developer of World of Warships has released the full details of its December update, celebrating the holiday season and five years of the world’s most popular naval MMO on Steam.
From Babel UA: "With the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against the aggressor also affected the video game industry. The largest game publishers — Ubisoft, EA Games, Rockstar — have limited sales of their products in Russia and Belarus. And Steam, GOG and Epic Games stores have stopped accepting payments in rubles. But Russian players have already learned to circumvent the bans of publishers and shops — there are many instructions about how to do this on the Internet. The situation with the game developers of the aggressor countries is even more complicated. Many of them are not officially Russian or Belarusian, but have long opened offices in Europe and work from Britain, Hungary, and other countries. Russian developers usually donʼt comment on Russiaʼs aggression against Ukraine, continue to cooperate with Western companies and sell their games to Western players. Babel tells about the games Escape from Tarkov, World of Tanks, and War Thunder, which are popular in Europe and the United States, and about the behavior of their developers, who deliberately do not publicly state their position on the war or order advertising from outspoken supporters of the Putin regime."
