Wargaming.net abolishing 'pay-to-win' model, adopting "free-to-win"

The dirty, dirty business of paying to win in free-to-play games is something Wargaming.net can't stomach anymore as they move to drop any real money purchases for items that would 'grant an advantage'.
World of Tanks will be purged of these offending items, and instead embrace what Wargaming.net is calling a "free-to-win" strategy. Basically, real money can only buy cosmetic items... like gold tanks.

Having separate accounts for all those Wargaming.net MMOs is getting to be rather silly, so the studio has launched a brand new "single unified account" system tying them all together with enhanced security.
Logging in with a Wargaming.net account now plugs you into "all other Wargaming-related projects," including partner and fan websites reachable via OpenID authentication. Sounds fancy.
