As a long-time player, I had a lot of questions for the developers of World of Tanks. Fifteen years is a long time for any online game, and it creates unique challenges. I requested an honest interview with Wargaming, letting them know I’d be asking difficult questions – questions that might not have easy answers. They agreed, and I spoke with Artem Safronov, a Product Director, about issues like game balance, matchmaking, player toxicity, the use of premium ammunition, the skill gap between players, the impact of giving new players high-level tanks, and why they haven’t updated the game to include modern tanks. And, naturally, we talked about the controversial artillery feature.

Man, AI has been everywhere in gaming this year! It feels like every studio is jumping on board with these new tools to help them make games faster. It’s pretty wild to see how quickly things are changing, and I’m curious to see how it impacts the games I play.

The latest installment in James Cameron’s wildly popular Avatar series is here, continuing to explore the fascinating world of Pandora. While it might not be the best film in the series, it remains a stunning visual experience, and it’s important to remember that these movies are part of a larger, interconnected story.
