Even players that left negative comments on Steam, usually played the game for hundreds or even thousands of hours before they stumbled on the experience they did not like, i.e. The majority of our PC players use our own launcher.Īnyway, though Steam as a “platform” (it is not an actual platform in fact) is not that popular amongst our players, War Thunder turned out to be one of the top games there and that’s good.

That’s actually the only recipe for success in the gaming industry AFAIK. We were aiming to create a great online game and we worked hard to achieve this.
