[UNICS] Ungrim_Baraz Beta Tester 95 posts 12,313 battles Report post #1 Posted August 19, 2021 On account of the current situation I consider important that the community here voices their concerns outside of WG related media/environment. Hence I have downloaded WoWs from Steam in order to leave a review, for this it was required to play for 5 minutes at least. This is the review I left: (negative vote) **************************************************************************************************************************************************** It is a SCAM, nothing but GAMBLING! The publisher (Wargaming Group Limited, involved on money laundering) intentionally releases missleading information, or straight out lies, promoting nothing but buying lootboxes! Total disregard for the community, game health, or player retention. Only seeks quick money scaming newcomers! I have been playing under the official publisher´s platform (Wargaming Center) since the closed beta test prior to offical game release... No veteran player is willing to give them money on account of their multiple lies and predatory tactics. They only seek new unaware players: DO NOT JOIN NOW!

Edit: I Did change a few things here and there, most importantly making sure the money laundering is not stated as a clear accusation but an ongoing investigation... "allegedly" etc (This version seen here was the first draft, then I changed several details) 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't make acusations like this. You may think that the internet is a law-free room, but it's not, and claming such things can very easiely get you into trouble that is not worth it.
