100 million players? That’s 1.4% of the entire world population.
If true, that’s an extremely high number for World of Tanks.

Revenue =/= profit. And there’s still dividends and whatnot taken out of the latter…
Still, the project ought to be well within their price range and the publicity certainly won’t hurt.

And to think people doubted whether Wargaming had the funds to restore the Maus….

a lot of these accounts have 0 battles or less than 100, if you only count the accounts with more than 1k battle the average money spent by user would be higher(probably about 50$ per user)

Yes, that’s great advice. Watch all the players stop paying, so that there will be no game for you leeches to play. Then you might actually have to learn the way the world works and get a job.

Only if you want it to be. WG certainly has no objections to people’s loose purse strings leaving their disposable income in their accounts ofc.

Hmm. I do not think it was just one transaction and after that WG has no influence over the chinese market. If that was the case the chinese WoT would receive no updates.

Nope. WG isn’t making money from all the people in the Chinese server. A company paid them for the game and that company keeps the profits. They may pay WG a portion of them but the vast majority of the Chinese market money is kept by the Chinese company that WG sold the game to. That is why the Chinese have things like the WZ-111, Type 59, Type 59 Gold, Fail Lowe, M60 that can be purchased as a premium.

WoT is the game I play most, despite I have Steam full of games I never tried :D
More, I feel ashamed for not buying premium. I could – but I know myself – with premium there would be “urge” to play each day.
In those 3 years I spend ¬200 euros for garage slots and some discounted premium tanks.
Bonus codes help to prolong moment when another 20-50euros will be spend. But I wait for next huge discount on some premium tank I want.

WOT – is perfect F2P!

Yeah, I know that feel bro, every penny deserved for a great game but for EU office that penny is wasted.
