Apparently War Robots has a new owner...

Maybee, or a rename, legal manouver to limit liability. New TOS and Service agreements im hoping are the pre cursor to them actually doing something about the hackers. Its either some thing like this or they got stung by a lawsuit and had to close the legal language to prevent further.

I took the time to read it...a few interesting points, my favorite that pixo claims no liability for a broken product. User/buyer beware.

Fot the tubers, posting videos on bugs or exploits could be a violation of the TOS

This game is mega broken! Pixonic are crooks! Plenty of games do fine without the crappy tactics these scumbags use.

I don't expect anything to change. I do expect the Reddit group to continue freaking out.

it'll only be a matter of time before a mod shuts down the thread for "uncivil discussion"

Only you can prevent forest fires.

If true, it’s a paint job. Same folks, new face. It’s a soft reboot. Pix has to sooner or later realize the distance they are creating between players and themselves by not addressing overall gaming issues. They want profit, naturally. How long will it take them to realize if they took older gear and gave THAT a facelift, bring those established items to the modern play, just how much more $ they could make? Especially older and cheaper gear that could even retain and even draw in new players by making it available to those just starting out but also appeal to those that have been around since the beginning and would like a change instead of having to start over with the newest “idea” they have. New gets old, fast. But a fan base of other items is a missed opportunity for profit but also appeals to the masses. I chased my unicorn for yrs, YEARS. Now all you have to do is wait 45 days for meta to be a throw away to any and all. Or buy it at mk2 for a reasonable price. 🫣

Mail.ru (now VK) sold My.Games to UPWAKE.ME LTD. My.Games owns Pixonic, thus Pixonic has indeed changed hands - this is not just a name change.

The intial thing that started the War Robots "downward spiral" of gatcha and meta cycles was when Pixonic's CEO sold it to Mail.ru. One month after September 2016, when mail.ru bought pixonic, we got the first lootboxes in the halloween event, and one year later, we had dashbots. Under Pixonic's original ownership, lootboxes did not exist, they only began when mail.ru acquired War Robots. 

Now, mail.ru does not own pixonic anymore - this could be a good thing or a bad thing, they say something about "better the devil you know" but who knows, maybe we'll get lucky, or maybe we'll get an energy system and only be able to play 5 matches for free per day and a repair system that makes us need to wait for our bots to be fixed (or speed it up with gold) in between games. Not unrealistic, other games do this.

The most similar game to War Robots owned by this company is called "Tacticool 5v5 shooter" - if someone were to go see how it is in the P2W/lootbox/meta cycle/etc. departments, we'd get an idea of how much (or little) change will occur to War Robots.

Edit: Also, do you guys remember back when there was not ALWAYS a special delivery event going on? It was initially only on holidays, now we just have random events that are in game "holidays?" like earth reclamation day, spacetech fair, etc. Remember back when pixonic said only 3 bots a year and now we get a bot or titan almost every month? Pepperidge farms remembers.

nice one Pulse. we got some good researchers here!
