Hey everyone, we’d like to clarify our general perspective on datamining and discussions surrounding future content.
We don’t endorse datamining in any of our games, but of course we understand that the community is naturally curious about the game and may want to seek out more detailed information regarding the content already publicly available in the game itself.
However, we’d like to be clear:
It is strictly forbidden for anyone to make claims about any future content based on information that has been “datamined,” especially when these claims are presented as certain or “confirmed” without existing confirmation or a statement on the topic from official Gaijin channels.
A bulk of data in the game files (vehicles, event strings, parameters etc.) goes unused, is experimental, outdated or otherwise irrelevant for the future of the game. When mined, this data is interpreted without any context, and so claiming that anything is confirmed based on this information will inherently be inaccurate. This causes confusion, false expectations, and potentially allows for this data to be deliberately interpreted maliciously to provoke and cause issues.
Educated guesses, speculation and open discussion are absolutely fine, we will always encourage this, as long as these are presented as personal takes and not as supposed insider knowledge or factual data.
Thank you for understanding and being a part of our community, we hope this clarifies everything.
