World of Warships Shipstorm

Wargaming is dealing with backlash from unhappy customers over changes to a Humble Bundle deal for World of Warships, their upcoming naval combat game, though they have compromised from their original stance on the topic. The deal originally offered a premium ship (the Murmansk), premium game time, in game gold, ship slots, and closed beta access, but later players were told they would not be able to keep their premium goodies once the game went live. This met with backlash from customers claiming deception (especially after the ship then went on sale in the item shop), but the latest update on the World of Warships official forum now tells players they will be able to keep their Murmansk after all. This reddit thread is where this all boiled over, and the latest update to the original post notes that the other elements of the deal are still not being fulfilled. Wargaming's explanation is that they never intended the ship and other perks to carry out of the closed beta, even though the original offer stated they would. They edited the wording of the offer at some point after it was posted, but failed to revise their blog post, and for a while were trying to stand their ground, but eventually relented on ship ownership. Thanks Lord Solar Macharius.
