So, why shouldn’t I be allowed to put virtual inscriptions on my virtual tank virtually glorifying Stalin? I’d do the same with my german tanks and swastikas if I could, and I’m far from being a xenophobic prick.

So how about you drop the butthurt and stop getting so mad at what people do in a video game ?

And there I was, an ignorant (formerly West) German, wondering how Czech players like yourself think about the Stalin inscriptions. It’s, after all, not the Poles alone which had all the fun with Stalinism. Oh by the way SS, I do like this blog and it’s immense wealth of information, keep up the good work.

Back on topic: I am deeply concerned about RU players putting the inscriptions on their tanks on the EU server, starting their game with “Long live the glorious I. Stalin” and intentionally hope to get teamkilled by their former east-bloc brothers, thus raking in considerable amounts of cash while spoiling the game for everyone else. This alone would be enough reason for me to not allow roaming of accounts.

Politics should not have a place in a computer game and I wished that WG would have got some sense before starting this whole Stalingate issue. They might make good computer games, but their sense of good PR and cultural sensitivity needs some developing.

I also think that even if 95% doesn’t give rats ass those 5% who do said they do think they should not be there on EU server, It gives a fair number from active players. And remember the thing is that it was RU server that wanted the inscriptions back to EU server… So louder people do not have a vote you say? Nice logic.

I could go find some topics on WoT forums, but that would not get you to read thru them all and count the pro- and conmans… would it? Yes numbers are on RU side, but they don’t play ( yet ) on the server ( and very few will even after roaming is enabled ) so why was their opinion seen priority over those on the EU server? And yes RU is bigger and they are prostalin because of their history, so their opinion is biased on why it should be there, while also the history is biased on EU server for those who want those few inscriptions gone.

I myself hop on the bandwagon against them, because there is reason for it for those who actually feel offended, their opinion counts for me more than some russians on their OWN server. Like I understand why some german inscriptions are not in the game even with valid points on why they should, but that was internal debate on server and in office. So if the server goes against some inscriptions which is quite large number when we discount those who do not care and have no opinion? There is reason why WG EU took them down in the first place, it was not just random act.

I thought you are a smart guy with some brain who understands that POLITICS have no place in GAMES. Unfortunately you aren’t. The ony thing you make with such retarded articles is HATE – you are producing and spreading HATE. Don’t you think we in Europe HATE eachother enough? Do you think we need MORE HATE? I’m really disappointed with you. I really thought you are a smart guy.

And for all the other buthurt guys – my nickname in game is m4st3r, from EU clan EPIC. My T-54 and T-62A tanks have both “For Stalin” (in cyrilic – ЗА СТАЛИНА) inscriptions.

Come and try to get me, B1tches xD
