It's on PC and about a billion other systems isn't it?  I'm just tired of hearing stupid shit from developers/publishers all the time. 

Oh I don't know what to do or how to utilize that controller.   - Bullshit excuse

We'll see how this first game sales.  -  Bullshit excuse if they put a half ass port out to die

I'm just tired of hearing their shit just as much as your tired of hearing us bitch and moan.

What did he say that was stupid?  Why shouldn't they wait until they know a business decision to expand to a new market is economically viable?  To please a small group of gamers? 

And it's not on a billion other systems.

Not true in this case, it's not pay to win at all.

While you can buy special tanks, but they don't make you any better, and you need a lot of skill for this game. The gold tanks are actually notably weaker than most other tanks on the same level - their main advantage is that they are much cheaper to repair, netting you more credits or any credits at all if you loose the battle on higher tiers (repairs and ammo get expensive by then). The only other advantages are that you can buy bigger barracks (more crew members, meaning you don't need to swap them out between tanks if you have many of them and the visual customisations (like camo and logos) on your tanks ain't temporary.

In the past, the game also had gold ammo, generally APCR instead or simple AP shots which have a higher penetration, but dtill don't make more damage (with a few exeptions on artillery and the VK 36.01. Now you can buy these with credits, though they are more expensive than normal ammunition

Any person that knows anything about the video game industry knows that the Wii U and Switch situations are completely different.  So yes that seems stupid to me or at least a bullshit excuse.
