Yeah, because it’s PIXEL SHKVAL LLC
physical address, business address, affiliated companies … won’t discuss that here
The main thing is that they have no issues accepting payments via international credit cards. Why should there even be problems with visa payments in CIS countries?
I don’t know about DMM, but you can’t transfer your account back to the global server from Pixel, only by physically moving out of the CIS.
This might be related to that, but I’m not sure.
I have so much to say about this, but I don’t want to upset Stona xdd
CIS countries
And this doesn’t matter when your company is located in Russia…and the Pixelstorm store is registrated at the Russian address.
Nice to see, how you do defend the region lock…
how much longer will it take for WTL to have mods for pilot models? inbound anime pilots doing cas runs
What? I just listed the available payment methods.
But yeah, I don’t really care about this situation with the aircraft.
This is similar to DMM. You are allowed to link the account from anywhere (confirmed by Gaijin and DMM support) but unlinking is only valid with proof of moving out of Japan, so it can’t be unlinked if you didn’t live in Japan.
But players from Japan also don’t get a choice to unlink the account, unlike Russian players that seemingly get to pick whether they prefer the regular game or pixelstorm platform, and can even make one account for each similar to consoles.
I was considering it for historical camouflages and decals since I mostly play Japan, and only use the market to buy generally less camouflages than I could get through DMM, but decided against it since I couldn’t back out if there was issues with payment processing.
If they started to make entire vehicles I’m anticipating in the game exclusive to DMM I would be forced to do the switch and risk potentially not being able to make any purchases in the game anymore without a way to unlink unless I move to Japan and back, which is simply not something worth doing for just a game. I think this is exactly what many players are experiencing internationally when it comes to this locked Yak-1.
So I really hope this practice won’t be repeated
This weekend’s related event was not region-locked, but was only announced in Russian social media. [Событие] Сталинград: Операция «Уран» - Новости - War Thunder
It’s a real shame that you won’t let players from all over the world get a plane and a model of the first woman to shoot down an enemy plane and the first female ace. It’s a very unfortunate decision on your part, snail.
Yeah totally
When can we get a region locked Keith Park’s Hurricane OK-1
Gaijin, with all due respect(not a lot tbh), this is bullshit. It is stated that “beating the game” is obtaining every vehicle in a tech tree. This is completely obstructing you from “beating the game” by your own definition. I highly suggest you rethink this region lock and allow global players to buy this vehicle.
The point is not that MasterCard and Visa are still payment options on the e-commerce interface, for PixelStorm users purchasing things for the game from outside Russia and the CIS (not that there’s too many of those, presumably).
The point is if you’re Russian living in Russia you can’t use a MasterCard or Visa anymore to make payments, so spinning off the Russian store to PixelStorm was necessary to service the Russian playerbase. Russia to Phase Out Visa and Mastercard Cards Over Security Concerns
This is already not possible anymore, with the removed German tanks for example. And some rare marketplace vehicles which are either never available, or ridiculously expensive like E-100.
