At the end of July, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy announced that they are gonna take steps to remove view bots from the platform. Now they have and... the results are quite surprising.
Is Wargaming collapsing? Unfortunately no, but the situation in the company might not be as great as they want you to believe.
Do you remember The Simpsons? You know, that TV series that once was funny, before it became the forgotten, although still going TV series. Wargaming just got to the new level of pathetic detachment f...
