New (Game) from the TA(and Co.) Developers

Aye, anyone involved in a business can tell you that timing means a lot.

Not to mention they pulled the Countdown timer PR stunt prior to the KS campaign which doesn't have a good record for them.

Wargaming.net acquire Gas Powered Games

Uh oh.
I see a "world of castles" in their future. Or maybe a world of cavemen? Whatever CT does, it's guaranteed to be a "world of". :roll:

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I hate most F2P games with microtransactions that are online ONLY. If GPG don't have to do something along those lines then good things can happen.

wot is a good f2p game. I play it since 2011 or something, and never spent a penny, and had lots of fun

What can you actually buy in World of tanks?......Is it just tanks? Becuse that's not so bad.

But if I hear correctly 'golden shells' are really kinda retarded.

there are premium tanks
premium account (daily monthly yearly)
and premium ammunition, youre right. But they are not (totally) gamebreaking. Its still fun.

Premium tanks are fine my by books.

But the ammo....mabey if you could only use it in games against opponets who also have it, then it would be cool.

I personally am not a fan of subscriptions, but buying addtional content for my game is cool.

F2P just reminds me of game demos, tis but a taster of the whole game until you but the rest.

I am happy for CT ,

I would feel a lot worse about companies trying to force micro transactions in the single player part of the game, especially when it is not a F2P game in the first place... (Deadspace 3 anyone)

I do feel that the F2P market may get a bit over saturated soon, but it is very easy to distinguish the good ones from the pay-to-win ones (which are obviously baddd), so the bad ones are slowly disappearing

I kinda like what AOE online had going, with the buying civilisations thing.

I agree, AOEO was a great game and I didn't mind paying for the content, I feel that a wildman F2P like path of exile would be good just not now due to the saturation of the market, We know SupCom3 isn't a possibility as Square Enix own that.

Maybe Wargaming will buy TA from Atari

How about world of wars?

Or war of the worlds.

WG is not interested in single-player games anymore (inside information ), so it's out of scope for sure. But I'm sure that they will find some matching field for GPG's expertise which is quite broad now. I doubt that any information about their whereabouts will be revealed anytime soon. They could even continue developing Wildman with more focus on network/MOBA part, who knows (World of Big Angry Savages ;P).

Not sure what to think just yet, but I do like Wargaming.net better than most companies. And World of Tanks is quite nice for an F2P game. Still, it would be a shame if it's true that wg.n focuses only on multiplayer games now, especially if that is what comes of GPG too.

Cough cough World of Warships anyone? Clearly hes being bought on board to help develop world of warships with strategic zoom as a feature o_0

I play WoT quite a lot , I'm a huge fan of tank warfare and history.

They allow people to buy the premium ammo with normal credits (earned through playing). It's not cheap, but it works.

That seems.... very plausible actually.

I have yet to hear about what they're doing for WoW (or WoA for that matter, but mostly cause I don't care).

The sky view they use for artillery in WoT could definitely use some work. If they have SupCom strategic zoom for that... wow, that'd be sweet. It'd be the only way to do WoW afaik too.

That'd be only be part of the reason obviously, but still something to note.

Wildman is now on hold (or canceled), GPG will be renamed to Wargaming Seattle and work on a free2play MMO with emphasis on PvP.
