That’s because they advertise War Thunder. I’ve seen ads for it on Youtube. Never seen a Star Conflict ad anywhere though.
This is my theory. However, it is also connected to the current situation of the update 1.2.3 and thus it should not be deleted!
Well, (S)Targem Inc. is the developer for this game. Gaijin is the publisher only. However, I got a feeling that Gaijin wants to hinder Star Conflict, while it can still provide some “acceptable threshold” of resources for them.
In case of War Thunder, Gaijin is both the publisher and the developer. I am sure that they even have some rules, which quite possibly mean that money from Star Conflict goes also to War Thunder.
Even if that’s not the case and developers actually keep all of their money from Star Conflict, which goes to multiple projects, the problem is, that Star Conflict would first need a lot more funding first, which means that it would have to be set on high priority list. That also includes more funds for the servers and some better features as well.
Again, as we already know, like we suspected before, that money from Star Conflict goes for multiple titles, like Blaze Rush, Crossout and more other projects.
We also know that they even took and allocated some of the server resources, which used to be in Star Conflict domain, only for some of their other games as well.
This resulted in less server regions and probably more stability issues, which did not exist in the Open Beta version of Star Conflict.
But if Star Conflict fails, it will trigger so called domino effect, which means that (S)Targem will be no more in the long run.
I guess that they signed some sort of contract, which forbids them to advertise this game on the same level. I would never sign such a contract, ever, if it exists.
If they did not signed anything like that, then they just do not want this game to get famous and they are afraid of success.
This game could easily get 100000 players, if the developers would know how to do it and that’s only the beginning.
