I know a few of those are iffy as some perform differently from the tanks they were reskinned from but I feel like they all still count.

"Comedically absurd"
I used that exact phrasing in a thread on the shit forum recently, similar topic.
It is a 100% accurate phrasing for this situation.

The sad state the game is in. I've pretty much lost all interest in playing, rather sad considering the amount of time and money I've put into the game. Though when the devs couldn't give 2 shits about the state of the game and only how much money they can make by using shady and downright exploitative marketing tactics, I don't feel that bad.

It's nuts there's 81 reskins.
Some of them I have no problem with (the champion ones I think are a cool idea for winning the tankbowl), but really? 81?

From what I understand, it didn't happen on PS4 because Sony are a bunch of traditionalist sticklers; Similar to how we don't have Xbox One-PS4 crossplay because of Sony.

To each his own, but if the number of reskins out there is your "last straw", I'd say that you were just looking for an excuse to quit, and chose to blame it on this. It's almost always been this way. Is it happening more today? Sure is. But while I think it's silly, it's not why I personally choose to play the game. You can choose to spend money or not. No one is "making" you spend money on reskin tanks.
The game is reaching it's penultimate cycle in the adoption curve, and is in decline. Nearly all products go through a similar cycle. Right now, they are using the reskins as a cash cow - all of the sunk cost of servers, overall development, etc. if more than likely recovered at this point. All they need to do now is cover standard, ongoing operating expenses (ie, salaries of idiot staff, power to keep the lights on, whatever server time costs, etc).
Again, to each his own.
Still looking forward to WT, however.

Still looking forward to WT, however. I think for many it's the last in a series of disapointments. For myself I just don't get the feeling they care or are trying to improve the game. An increasing flow of reskins just confirms it for a lot of players. Wargaming keeps promising big game changing things, but constantly fails to deliver.

Still looking forward to WT, however. I don't think I've given up playing completely, I've just lost interest recently. Took 4 years, but when the game has been more than a little stagnant as far as balance is concerned for the last 1 1/2 years I just can't find the motivation anymore. Joining up with you guys here and playing with Bunker members was the only thing that kept me entertained with tanks for a while longer as I was already sick and tired of WGCB's lack of care for the state of the game. With Monster Hunter out, and more great looking games coming, I just don't need to kill time with tanks anymore. I'll probably jump in with you guys occasionally, but if you aren't on, I probably won't touch the game that much anymore, at least in the near future.

WT is gonna suck if we have to play with PC players,They'll fucking scalp us Well since they've said it will be Crossplay between PC/Xbox & PC/PS we're doomed oh no, not really though. I play WT PC with my Xbox One controller and I get taken out by more PS players than anything. Simulator battles is where the PC players have the upper hand due to the keyboard controls except the few Flightstick players whooping everyone's butt. So what I'm saying is I don't care about facing PC players as I care about actually having enough players to get into a battle, something WoT has been struggling with lately with 2-3 min queue times. The new Dagor Engine 5.0 is looking great though, posting the link on the War Thunder thread.

They've added seven in the 37 days since I first posted in this thread. That's a new re-skin every 5.28 days. They don't even go a week between them.

It's easy money when you have stalwart defenders that are obsessed with your cat-lady community manager that will buy them if she tells them to.
