[2023] Gaijin's Business Model

Originally posted by Omega Sirius: Oh and can someone here tell me the last time Gaijin added an update where they didn't have a new premium vehicle in it?

War Thunder is a free to play game and premium vehicles, premium content and whatever else are crucial to success of the game itself. It's not a charity, it's a video gaming company, with a free game, money has to be made somehow, otherwise it wouldn't exist. Simple as that.

The game designers and bug fixers are a separate team, they are not the store team. Different teams exist, and bug fixes, game decisions and the like can be created side by side and can co-exist at the same time as premiums being added.
