War Thunder Players Left Negative Reviews on Steam
Gaijin Entertainment Requests To Use 'Less Destructive Ways'
War Thunder players, frustrated with recent news from the game's official website, took action by leaving negative reviews on Steam. The website's post, written by Gaijin's Creative Director Kirill Yudintsev, discussed the progression and economy of free-to-play games like War Thunder.
It stressed the need for the game to make money to maintain itself, which led to the development of a 'free-to-download and pay-for-progression' business model. In a later section of the post, Gaijin Entertainment advises players to utilize less damaging communication techniques because doing so harms the game and discourages potential new players from trying it out.
War Thunder Is Not A Sustainable F2P Game
Despite playing the game for extended periods, 80% of War Thunder gamers reportedly had not made any purchases. This served as an argument in favor of the pay-for-progress system of economics. Veteran players, however, disputed this assertion in the comments, claiming that the game had grown more challenging for free-to-play players to advance because of the hefty repair expenses necessary to use their destroyed vehicles.
Even the premium members, who pay for the game and get premium cars, complained about the hefty maintenance expenses. The excessive amount of in-game cash required to repair vehicles once they are destroyed is one of the biggest problem of War Thunder. Depending on the car, repair costs vary significantly and are very high for high-end vehicles.
Although some premium players were eager to deploy their premium vehicles, they chose not to do so due to the hefty repair costs involved if they were damaged during the game. That kind of setting is seen to be detrimental to the players.
Gaijin Entertainment has acknowledged the issue with maintenance costs and has made an effort to fix it by making system adjustments. A permanent solution has yet to be established, and because nothing is being done right now, the fans feel that their voices need to be heard sufficiently.
