No, I work at Wargaming Ukraine. But at least a dozen of my friends and ex-colleagues are working at GSC and the whole Ukrainian game development community respects what GSC does!

what exactly is the point? how come you don’t need the skill to win?
- Comment on Looks like I'm getting into World of Warships 2 months ago:
could you please point me towards the statistics?
- Comment on Looks like I'm getting into World of Warships 2 months ago:
but you just said yourself that no amount of money would give you the skill.
- Comment on Looks like I'm getting into World of Warships 2 months ago:
The question was about Warships, not Tanks.
But your statements about the unfair advantage of paying players is just a very wild guess, that has nothing to do with reality.
- Comment on Looks like I'm getting into World of Warships 2 months ago:
I’m not sure paying for time is paying to win.

do you have any examples of this game being pay-to-win?

you mixed up the language. blyat is a russian word, not Ukrainian.
- Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?" 5 months ago:
so “a” is universal for clock, but “the” is universal for doctor :D

how about “going to the doctor”? :D
- Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?" 5 months ago:
The second example is quite good imo. You would never say “I’m going to a bathroom.” Even if you were in a stadium with hundreds of bathrooms, you would still say you are going to the bathroom.
you are justifying this statement “because of reasons” :) this is not a logical explanation. there are a bunch of bathrooms in the world. Am I going to the one specific that was mentioned before in the context? then it’s “to the bathroom”. is this bathroom just a random one that I will encounter on my way? then why not “to a bathroom”?
same with trains: even if you are speaking about a train route with a specific number, you are not talking about a specific train, then it should be “I’ll be taking a train”. if you are going to take the specific locomotive for a ride in a museum, then, obviously, you are going to take “the train”. this sounds logical for the usage of Articles in the English language, at least in my head.
same with doctors: if you are going to a specific doctor, and your opponent knows which one by the context, then it should be “to the doctor”, otherwise it would be a random doctor that will be assigned to you as soon as you arrive to the clinic, it cannot be “the doctor” by the same principle I always thought exists :)
whoa, another meaningless “the” appeared. “The English Language” phrasing is used despite there are at least four? five? English languages.
so… it’s complicated :D but this does not prevent English from being The Language of the World, and I cannot name a language that could have been on its place.
- Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?" 5 months ago:
:) no, it’s not, because for people to understand you you don’t need to grasp 75% of the concepts of the English language, and IMO, this is the measure of “pain in the ass” of a language. so still not even half as complicated as Ukrainian and not even half a pain in the ass as Ukrainian :)
- Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?" 5 months ago:
Ukrainian here. IMO, the first statement is half-stupid, the second one is half-overcomplicated :) no offense to you personally, of course. I understand the whole concept of articles in English and know (at least I thought I knew before this post) their correct usage, and in all use cases I can remember the article uses are logically acceptable for a foreigner, but this one with the mirror and the bathroom is messed up a bit :)

no-no, not at all, I’m just trying to find at least a theoretical explanation for this behavior.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 7 months ago:
I’m not American in any way, but I am fond of urbanism. Imagine your cities built in a very car-centric way, so to get anywhere any time you always use a car. Your shoes are almost clean all the time. Home, car, groceries, car, home, car, office, car, bar, car, home. A park is miles away, you don’t pass it by when you walk from the office. So I disagree with the barbarism. The concept is just suitable only for a specific urban design.
