Veterans

This blog has not had that many followers or comments on it perhaps because it is a game that does not meet what everyone expects for from a game.  Lots of people were out recently to buy the next remake of the popular Call of Duty game.  I liked those sorts of games once and still have many; however, after Modern Warfare 2, I feel they lost any real chance of being called a good game again.  They will go on to create many more games over the years while Wargaming which makes World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships will continue to improve upon their current games and will continue to remain free to its players.  This is not an attempt to sway your opinion about what makes a good game or one better than another.  This is an eye opener to the quality of Wargaming as a company.

Wargaming gives some of its profits to veterans' causes and historical preservation.  Veteran’s Day happened just this past week on Tuesday in the U.S.—Wargaming executives were at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii for the dedication of the new Shrine Room Wall at the USS Arizona Memorial. Wargaming worked with Amvets, a veterans support group, to raise more than $350,000 for the restoration, which cost $750,000.

 The version of World of Tanks for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console has attracted more than 3.5 million gamers; the mobile version of the game has 8 million players. Across its portfolio, Wargaming has 110 million registered users, making it one of the most successful game publishers in the world. It has 3,600 employees and 16 offices worldwide, with plans to expand into Latin America. It’s estimated to finish this year with revenues of at least $400 million, according to the market research firm Superdata, and as much as $550 million, according to Newzoo’s Warman.

This is good news for the war monuments that stand to benefit from the developer’s success.
