We hope this will remove the controversy and allow players to focus on the ships, their characteristics and gameplay. Therefore, we will replace the flags on all Pan-Asian ships with the neutral Pan-Asian nation flag upon the release of the upcoming destroyer line. We want to address these current concerns around the national affiliation of Pan-Asian nation branches as best we can for the majority of our audience, just as we have done with similar issues in the past. Our goal has always been to bring warships, naval combat and naval engineering closer to as many enthusiasts around the world as possible. Time and again, this brings us into conflict with a part of our audience who raise concerns about these flags or the ships themselves in many different contexts. Whenever possible, this includes the flags and pennants they sailed under during the period the ship represents in the game. We want to depict them as close to their historical, real-life state as we can, in order to create a better sense of immersion and a stunning visual experience for our players. In portraying our ships we draw on information from various sources, from blueprints to news articles and photographs – often from different places and periods. World of Warships and other games in our portfolio are about vehicles, their technologies and engineering, based in certain historical periods – not about the struggles of the nations who built them. We sincerely apologize and will take steps to make sure our messaging remains apolitical in the future. As a company we do not have a political stance, affiliation or agenda – our mission is to create great games. As for reply to a customer’s support ticket, the penalties have been imposed for this violation. Thus, the recent information on our web sites has been corrected. We have been watching the discussion regarding our stance on the political geography of ASIA and considered your concerns.
