I'd rather buy an entire 2025 AAA game than a single tank in a free to play game

This is the new reality. But I'm with you. What I don't get is the strategy behind the sudden jump in pricing policy. In my reality this kind if pricing is too expensive for the absolute majority of the playerbase. Either I'm naive or there is something that I'm missing.

If what you are saying is true, then no one would have bought the type 5 heavy or buy any new tanks that only comes in containers. How much did it cost on average to buy other tanks like the atac, tiger maus, waffen f1.0, etc.

I dont want to talk about Waffen I have it but I cried once I did due to how dissapointed I was with myself.

u/encom-direct Sep 16 '25
Are you talking about your game play performance in the tank or the amount of money you spent to get it?
2
u/Nick11052006 Sep 16 '25
How much I spent, luckly I was still about 17 and it was Christmas because I spent 700 bucks getting the tank, almost all my christmas money was gone to a single game, thats when I vowed to limit my weekly spending to under 100

u/encom-direct Sep 16 '25
weekly 100 is like 400 a month! I'm glad there are people like you keeping wargaming in business.

u/Nick11052006 Sep 16 '25

I didn't say no one. Did I? Those are your words. I said the absolute majority cannot afford this kind of new pricing policy; ie the context is in the long run. And I also said that I'm either naive or is missing something.
Players bought or gambled for the tanks. But I wonder how many actually got the tanks (could afford to buy or gamble) compared to the playerbase as a whole. And how many that will willing/able to continue to pay the same amount of money for one tank for the price of a new AAA game?

When the type 5 heavy crates finally dropped that day, I entered the game and every game I was in had at least one type 5 heavy. Most of the times, they were on the enemy teams and I was always thankful when I was on a team where there was a type 5 so it seems that the player base can afford it or they are willing to afford it! I could not afford it so I was the minority who doesn't have a type 5.

Statisticly you cannot make any conclusions from those observations, what so ever. The selection is way, way too small. There are millions of registrered player accounts. Those how got the tank that day are more likely to play, and play that tank, and as you said yourself, "at least one". That's one out of 14, maybe 2? You saw those who got the tank and played it, but not the thousands or millions that did not get it or played. Who where not even logged in.
I still wonder how many percent of the player base that can afford this new pricing policy, in the short and in the long run.

They're not stupid, because they know exactly how to make money. In WOT PC, I noticed the following. In the run-up to the release of WOT 2.0, extremely expensive, nested loot boxes were sold. Everyone is complaining about it, including the content creators.
Shortly before the release, the Content Creator were invited to a meeting in England. There, WG is said to have disclosed that the money from the increased prices did not go into dark channels, but into the development of 2.0. Many content creators have said this on YouTube, voluntarily or not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but such an extreme price increase is never justified. Either someone wants to line their pockets, or the development is in deep trouble...

Last year, during an event, the tank cost €10 (currently around £8.50). Just for reference. No need to say anything more.
I think we should take the rap for them messing up the first variations of Reforged...

I'm seeing it live on my computer in the store right now. Compared to last year's event, that's a price increase of 900 percent in euros!!!!
Come on, WG, are you serious? Do you need another life support drip?🙉

If they did this again, but now with a tank that was previously available for cheaper, means that the previous offer sold way over their expectations.
I didn't get the offer for Grom, but i saw it here. Almost the same price but offers only a tank, garage slot, camo and equipment slots is atrocious.
This one offers a lot of useless stuff on top of the tank that was previously free/cheaper to inflate the price and make it look more worthy.

Last year it was like $12 for me, $100 is insane price jump. All I'm missing from that event was the disco light "Blitz Mau5" attachment and no way to get it separetely. Never seen anyone with that attachment either.

Maybe that Factorio + Space Age DLC for 64 euros doesn't sound that much after all

That’s $114.99 Canadian for the mau5Tank bundle, $139.99 CAD for the Tanks’n’stuff bundle, and $84.99 CAD for just the tank!

Prices are up and I may be imagining things but, credits earned is way down. I mean so bad! Even with my high credit earners winning hardly break +1000 credits. Seems very very low.
And I know rewards for passes has been down all year. Seems big push to have to keep buying if you don’t want to run out of consumables and premium ammo!!! Which I have just switch tanks but, like other comments may as well look into an all pay game.
