War Thunder Reverses Negative Steam Reviews After Fan Backlash.
War Thunder players review bombed the game after developer Gaijin announced changes to the in-game economy that would make it harder to progress without paying real-world money. The community's reaction led to Gaijin reversing the planned changes and offering a survey to players to address overall concerns. However, Gaijin's creative director's article on how free-to-play games work has been criticized by players for not understanding their frustration with the developer's changes to the model. The future of War Thunder's economy remains uncertain.
