More to the point, does that mean we can discuss Wargaming now and how it is irrelevant which tax haven they (and Gaijin) are operating out of to determine whether they are run by a (Bela)Russian oligarch?

Well, at least i didnt start a thread like you that got erased instead of being locked? Since everyone wanna talk about it il just go back to my memeing then. Plus im not a coward like you who thinks that insulting russia or russian companies will resolve the matter while sitting snuggly safe at home. Insults don't kill russian soldiers, bullets do. Just tired of the hypocrisy. Go volunteer if u really want to help: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60544838 (We talked about this already, so yes, you don't have to reply that you cannot do so because of xyz reasons) Also, Nautical wasnt refering to me.

[S-E] FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor Players 3,532 posts 29,238 battles Report post #21 Posted March 1, 2022 To put this into perspective, Wargaming generates US$660.8 million in annual sales these days. An expenditure of 0.15% of that seems a very sweet deal when it helps to avert a potential PR disaster and player boycott. They might as well chalk it up directly to the marketing budget. https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.wargaming_group_limited.3ab22559abf54e1a0421de0df0a77744.html Reminder that their business model rests on two pillars of equal importance - a lot of money from a few whales, and a lot of server population from a multitude of "F2P" players. No whale fodder - no business. And to re-iterate, the tax havens from which they choose to operate are irrelevant when it comes to the question whether or not they are run by a Russian oligarch and Putin crony. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
