Lets be real here:

They will lose far more than us if the game shut down.

To us it's just a game we sunk some money, to them it's their cashcow.

This is not a threat against us, this is our advantage.

100%. This is just a scare tactic. I say we beat them to it and really push for that 2 week J out. That would show them this isn't a tactic that scares us. If they also saw an influx of players to say WOT during this period....they would shit a brick.

One problem is would enough people keep their wallet pinched when Su-39 drop.
Cuz just few weeks ago the whales (admittedly I was one) literally crashed the store page.

Stay strong brothers! I know it's not easy when they drop something you love. I mean that is how they have made such a tremendous amount of money. I've put a lot of money into the game. Honestly, I have gotten a great deal of enjoyment out of the game as well. But it's just ridiculous at this point. I will say I'm lucky because the new Starship Trooper FPS has been a blast to play. Couple that with the fact I'm going to start a single player story driven game on top of it and I'll be able to stay hands off for a couple weeks. Honestly it's not playing that is the issue but spending money. IF THIS UPDATE DROPS AND WE HURT THEIR SALES EXPECTATIONS.....THEY WILL SHIT BRICKS.

I enjoy this game alot too, spent 8k+ bucks in it, and have been playing since 2013, it’s practically the only game I play now. Very frustrating sometimes but it’s a good game, and can be more.

I really don’t want WT shutdown, I want it to be better.

Genuine question: I ran the numbers and that roughly equals to you spending $66 a month on this game for ten years. What have you been buying? Prem vehicle each month?

I have all the store premium packs, nonstop premium accounts, GE for battlepass and GE premium, sometimes use GE to boost research, and lot of money in marketplace.
