As I said some time ago, Enlisted is in a bad situation, but it has a big difference with AM.
If AM is a failure (and it will be), it will leave a huge hole in Gaijin’s finances that WT alone can’t fill, but Enlisted can.
AM is completely new; any added content must be created from scratch, which is expensive, and the community we expect from it won’t be large enough to offset the costs.
Enlisted, on the other hand, starts with a huge advantage: all its vehicles (the most expensive models to create among the various content) are copied and pasted from WT, requiring only modifications for the transposition to Enlisted, saving a large sum of money.
Add to this, a larger and more solid community, and the WW2 genre is much more sought-after and popular among people than an extraction shooter.
Enlisted also has no competition among large-scale free WW2 games (H&G was practically the only one), while AM must face opponents that are already very powerful and popular. Years later than them
But above all, a detail that I think few have noticed
the mere presence of WT is an invisible advertisement for enlisted players.
If I’m a player of the much bigger WT and I discover that gaijin has made other games, which one do you think I’ll choose first?
A WW2 game that’s basically WT with infantry, which is very close to my passions that led me to play WT.
Or
A game that has nothing to do with it and is also a completely different genre?
As far as I am aware, everything that needed saying has already been said about the new weapons and vehicles (I’m including the recent BP, and both the upcoming event and update), as well as everything about the technical issues. There’s not much left for us to do, the ball is in the devs corner, lets see what (if anything) they’ll do with the input they’ve recevied.
Well unfortunately looks like this event will drop when I’m on vacation in Thailand later this week. I’ll probably have a better chance of seeing the last day of joint military exercises between China and Thailand when I land than this update coming out before Thursday!
I mean I work 7 days a week running my tech business. If I had a problem with my business I wouldn’t sleep until it was corrected personally. But everyone has there right to how their work ethics play out.
