I was quite obsessed with this game for a while. Never really played any of the air battles but loved the tanks!
Ended up being quite put off by the amount of pro Russian bias in the game though. I'd sunk a bit of time and money into the German tree but at mid tiers the t-34 is all you'll ever face and it completely owns.

It might get better in later tiers but it sucked a lot of the fun out of the game and I didn't get back into it.

Quoting: Crazy PenguinCouldn't agree more. The game is boring, repetitive, a grinding hell and unimaginative. Haven't played it much over the last weeks anymore. No fun! Wasted money! :(

There are also still problems with the GUI, where you can't search for a guild by name. The Chat is also garbage, without language filters. There are way to many posts, spams, which makes you turn it off. Then you can "mute" 10 players only.

I agree with you on all those points. After about 2 weeks of play, realizing how much time i'd need to sink in it to go any further just turned me right off it.
As someone who isn't that interested in PVP (especially with the constant lag) there simply isn't anything to do except grind.... :(

For older games, i'm perfectly happy to pay a 'porting' fee for something that I already own for Windows. Its fair that the porters get paid for it. Although the question is then what is the price for someone who doesn't already own it. Is the base Linux version the same cost as the Windows version or Windows version + porting fee?

For new games that come out with a promised Linux port but not on day 1 i'm a little more torn.
If I buy it now so that I can play it on release but intending to play it on Linux as soon as it is available then I don't really want to have to pay twice for it.

I'm also worried that if a developer knows that they can get the cost of the game plus a porting fee from us on a new release then i'm expecting that they will simply release two 'versions' of the game at different price points. This could seriously affect the platform future. How many people (especially people investigating Linux) will put up with a platform with a reduced selection of games, that run slower than their Windows counterpart and that cost more?
