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.
It really feels like Wargaming becomes desperate after collapse of their Community Contributors program in Summer 2021, after which a lot of prominent streamers reduced the number of WOWS videos on their channels or moved to another titles. Now WG is sending bizarre e-mails to inactive users, like me, who got tired of their constant introduction of more and more broken mechanics into World of Warships.
Hey, there!
Commander! Submarines and superships have been added to the game! To prepare for these new battle factors, Warships HQ is authorizing you to reset Commander skills and demount upgrades free of charge. Take advantage of this opportunity, and good luck in battle!
Yup, Wargaming felt obligated to inform me, someone who never spent much money in their game and left it more than a year ago, that there are submarines! And superships! I guess, they ran out of whales to milk and now they scrap bottom of barrel, hoping to bring back even casual players, like me.
What can I say? Wargaming, I’m flattered that you remember me when you are desperate, but I know there are submarines in your game. That’s why I left last year...

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 reached level of The Simpsons
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 from reality, just like The Simpsons.
Wargaming apologized! Again... Sort of...
If you missed the sh*tstorm that just keeps on giving, the Community Contributors walkout in World of Warships, don’t worry, nothing particularly interesting happened. Except Wargaming apologized again. Well, sort of...
Steel Ocean closes on Steam
After months and years of neglecting and mistreating the players on Steam Steel Ocean closes in early May 2020.
The most evil company of the year?
While Google has a long history of being evil, past few years they really cranked up their evilness to a new level. This time by introduction of something as innocent as Page Annotations.
The end is near?
Abermore, one of the dozens, if not hundreds, of titles that premiered in recent days on Steam made me think that the end of an era is near. Yes, you guessed it, Abermore is a steaming pile of garbage. To be fair it is not the only one and not the worst one that I have seen recently.
