[2023] Why WG?

Advertising is endless for any product. I would be willing to bet most everyone in the state of Georgia is familiar with Coca-Cola, but there are still constant ads and billboards and sales and whatnot. It's just the nature of staying available and at the forefront as a product.

The natural response to the advertising push is to assume there's an issue. On the other hand, being aggressive with marketing budgets is an indication of a good product that's worth the investment. We see World of Warships as living a long life~

Releasing data requires approval processes, so I don't have anything hard in that sense. DevBlogs tend to be sources of data for larger topics and they take a while to be created (which is why it doesn't happen very often).

Was there something in particular you were curious about? General answers about common topics are more easy to provide.

We have 4 English CMs in the NA region, 1 from Brazil, are hiring for LATAM, and the other regions have even more. Previously, English NA was 2 CMs and a Senior CM.

We are actively hiring for a new studio. Actively hiring is something done for a long-term investment, which we see in World of Warships.

Marketing campaigns like the one this thread is about are further expenditures of money and effort because of faith in the longevity of the product.

What about these things isn't directly telling that we see the value that exists and expect it to continue for a long time?

Yep. It's in Belgrade, Serbia. You can see the "We're Hiring!" section of the most recent "Waterline" video here:

A document of our hiring from the recent time period of a few months ago is listed above. It's a section of a video describing our new studio and that we are hiring.

As for direct sources of current investment in our game, you can look at:
