After months and years of neglecting and mistreating the players on Steam Steel Ocean closes in early May 2020.


Steel Ocean closes on Steam

Steel Ocean, Chinese game similar to World of Warships, announced that the only server available for non-Chinese users via Steam will be closing in early May 2020.

This news is hardly surprising taking under consideration that for months and years the game was not updated, upgraded nor even looked after. Meeting 20 players at the same time on the US server was a small miracle, yet the game kept its original matchmaking engine that often did not worked well, f.e. out of 8 available players of same tier it was choosing only 6 and put battleship and 2 destroyers against cruiser and two submarines...

Despite being constantly neglected the game have built small community of players that did not enjoyed World of Warships and preferred the options available in Steel Ocean (like submarines, manual anti-aircraft and secondary guns, night battles), even though the creators clearly never really cared about non-Chinese users. Let me put it this way - the US server undertook biweekly maintenance breaks and from time to time... it looks like someone was forgetting to switch the server back on leaving users disgruntled and hungry for answers.

Now officially the game closes on Steam in early May 2020, the client will be available on some Chinese game systems, but as usual the players have to rely on gossips rather than creators. And the saddest thing is Steel Ocean was really a good game that needed some tender loving care to blossom (despite being constantly bombarded by WOWS spammers) and it seems that the users were more concerned about the game than the creators.

The end of WG is near?

Is Wargaming collapsing? Unfortunately no, but the situation in the company might not be as great as they want you to believe.


Wargaming apologized! Nah, just kidding

As they say "blink and you will miss it". But don’t worry, you will not miss Wargaming’s apology for recent sh*tstorm, because they, of course, do not plan to apologize for anything.


It can be assumed, that Wargaming is taking the p!ss

Yes, you could assume that after recent events Wargaming, company behind World of Tanks and World of Warships, would be more careful, but if you assumed that you clearly do not know this company for very long.


Wargaming is leaving Russia and Belarus

Wargaming.net, a company behind World of Tanks and World of Warships (also World of Warplanes, but realistically who cares?) is apparently leaving Russia and Belarus.


Submarines are coming to town

After long, long time in development submarines are finally coming to World of Warships. Well, sort of coming. And the gamers are sort of excited about it.


The curious case of SkapeGote

The 2020 pandemic made changes in lives of many, many people - for most it was negative impact, but as this article should highlight, for some it might have been a blessing in disguise. It is the curious case of SkapeGote, a Canadian man, who by accident became a youtuber.





World of Warships is getting desperate

World of Warships is getting desperate

Or maybe it’s just a wishful thinking, but I got a surprising e-mail from Wargaming that made me laugh. Not with them, at them.
