World of Tanks (WoT) is a massively multiplayer online game developed by the company Wargaming, featuring mid-20th century (1930s–1960s) era combat vehicles. It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for use of "premium" features. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling an armored vehicle.

Do you think this update will finally destroy World of Tanks? 😔

[Alpheamus]

I used to love this game. I find myself wanting to play it, logging in, having one match and realizing for the 8 billionth time in my life that this game is not what it used to be. :(

Glad every CC is doing a video on this. Maybe Wargaming will actually listen. Who am i kidding....

I was one of the first 2000 closed beta testers. I played this game for almost 10 years. I even worked as an Artist for the Singapore office. I’ve never seen another game or company go from being so community focused to sacrificing it all for monetization so fast. I remember the days when the only premium feature was extra experience and premium tanks that were on par with tech tree vehicles, it snowballed so hard into cash shop hell.

I'm a Word of Warships player, and I have to say, I feel your pain. The recent updates of Wows made the game incredibly frustrating (I could be here all day telling you how the CV rework ands submarines suck). It feels like WG is actively trying to kill these games, and it's so frustrating to see a game with a solid foundation and potential being destroyed by their greed and self-righteousness.

[Ichorizor]

The only thing I wanted out of crew changes was the removal of crew having to grind experience to get to 100% on a given tank. It is highly punishing to new players, and extremely frustrating to deal with

Don't be sad it ends bros, be happy it happened, we got some great moments in this game, which each and every single one of us will always remember, but as everything good in life, it had to come to an end.

I remember in 2015 me and my dad used to play WoT soo much, it is the bigger part of my childhood, im sad to see it die out this way 😢

[Immortal_BP]

i started in 2012 with my $300 toshiba laptop that nearly burnt a hole in my table while running at 30fps on lowest settings however for the 1-2 years i played on that laptop are by far the fondest memories i have with this game. i remember world of tanks giving me this unique feeling that faded over the years. i cant explain what the feeling was except a sense of pure joy after finally unlocking those high tier tanks you wanted for hundreds of battles.

RIP World Of Tanks. We had some good, unforgetable days together.

[TheScalysnake]

All true, 100% agree with your common sensed opinion. - Also.. WTF was that e5 background gameplay... nice

[GRUMPY]

i have been here for over a decade...im playing right now enjoying the last few games before this shit storm happens.. Its already hard for new players to match against vets.. but now with WOT + its a difference that will never be made up...

[Cryptic_Potato]

haven't played WoT in over 3 years since I switched to WT and holy god I'm glad I did

[alphaadhito]

Been playing since 2015ish but stopped playing around 2018 and ever since I switched to Warthunder. Even though WT have some its flaws on itself but hey for me its much enjoyable. For now I doesn't even play it often, but I love watching Phlydaily and OddBaws and their videos brings joy to me! So sad that what WoT have become today

[peterkolesar]

Thank you for this brief summary video. As a kind of a veteran in this game I was always stopping to play and came back after some time and these days I was thinking of returning once again but thanks to you I am spared of more unnecessary disappointment from playing my once belowed game 😢

[Rift_Hawkman]

I started playing War Thunder. While both may be pay to win. I will say there’s no gold rounds each round has its unique factors and not just out right better(as far as I can see now) also the shot goes where I aim and I have to adjust for bullet drop. There’s a lot in the game. While it’s drastically different from WoT I feel like what will happen is some will try it and see that it’s kinda what we’ve wanted in WoT but never got it cause new tier 8 premium. In WoT I feel like a bad player could kill u cause they get lucky when in WT I feel like it’s rare to see it. While WT may not or will not be for everyone I feel like a good portion will find a new home in it.

Started playing in july 2011, uninstalled at the end of february 2023...The premium ammo shitshow, arty stun mechanic, and the He nerf transformed this game into a stressfull hell for me. For the past 2 years i was only playing for the lack of another option.... i will miss my KV-2 :(

[netgamersk]

Saw this way earlier and stopped playing because I knew back then they won't stop their greed. And yet they still amaze me to surprise me how far can they go. I'm surprised the people tolerate it and didn't move on

Video about WoT's end: *Panik*
Notice it's April fool's: *Calm*
WG is not actually joking: *P a n i k*

[buahcs]

Kajzoo, I hope that if you end up leaving this game that you are able to become a CC for another game and that we can continue supporting you there. I've loved watching your videos, thank you sir for being honest about this and standing up for the f2p community (:
