Such would not be public info, afaik.

I won't doubt your provided reason, but I think "most people" would have a much... different angle... for requesting such info.

Huh... learn something new every day. Was never aware of this until you mentioned it... But seems legitimate enough :?

Gaijin rely on this to make there big money, its a clever business plan, even if over priced, no doubt about it.

At points, that was more true than not. Back in 2012, 2013, --yes-- you could pretty much get "end-game" content for a nation with $100-200. Also worth noting that there were --only-- airplanes, and that the tech trees at the time were probably only a third (perhaps less?) of what they are today.

By the time that you multiply out for the sheer quantity of content, (Aim for the high side, and say current trees are 4x what they were), $800 to reach end-game stuff (approximately 160,000 GE, for one aircraft nation).... sounds "about right".


FWIW- Gaijin has ALWAYS been a for-profit. They have never masqueraded as a charity or NFP. So the idea that they're "out there to make big money" and "have a clever business plan" should surprise... nobody.

Also FWIW, their "over priced" stuff, while I will concede that it can be expensive, at full price tends to be less than the competition, and that Gaijin has historically been very good about offering very-nearly-global-everything-included 50% off sales twice a year.
