I'm not gonna whine about how old accounts are not steam-compatible, it was quite predictable.

Here's what I AM gonna say:

1) I'm stuck with this game since late 2011, so I know what I'm talking about.

2) For those of you who have experience with wargays titles - my sympathies, bros.

3) For those who does not - stay away from them! These jerks don't care about anything but money. They don't listen to their audience, they are contunually making the game more and more pay-to-win, they ♥♥♥♥ up the balance, they delete critical comments and ban those who tell the truth at their official message board, they have a horde of paid streamers to maintain the illusion of well-being, but in reality they're one of the worst game publishers/developers. EA doesn't even come close, if you know what I mean.

4) For wargays themselves - don't even bother to write an answer to this review. I'm fed up with your lies and hypocrisy. All you may expect from me is the finger and a wish to burn in the deepest pits of hell.

Now, that letting off steam part is over, here are some facts:

1) Ever since the beginning there were continuous complaints about skill-balanced match-making. Guess what has been done? You're damn right! Nothing! Turbo-matches when either your or enemy team loses within less than 5 minutes are absolutely common.

2) Tech-balance has long since been blown away. Lots of outdated and overall weak tanks, and no one even bothers to pretend they're gonna do something about it.

3) Extremely toxic environment as a result of everything mentioned above, and wargays are masters of eluding straight answers when they're up against a wall.

UPD 01
As it turns out, wargays not only spit on their audience, they also fire their own employees, framing them with some falsely put wrongdoings.

Those dumb focks can't even get their piece of sнit product to work properly. Whenever there's a massive event their servers die. As if company with insane profits can't afford reliable hardware. As if no one expects heavy load during massive events. As if dumb and underqulified developers who can't get their crappy code to perform adequately somehow can't be fired.
