In general, the business of an entrepreneur from Minsk, according to the publication, is worth $ 1.5 billion.

The company’s locomotive, World of Tanks games, earned $446 million in 2015, according to the analytical company SuperData. How much the rest of the company’s products earned, including mobile World of Tanks Blitz and World of Tanks Generals, is not reported. In total, the company earned $ 590 million last year, Bloomberg already claims.

“We will become a conveyor for the production of high-quality games,” said Sour to our colleagues from Bloomberg. These statements are quite in the spirit of the publishing ambitions of the companies. Recall that in July last year, Wargaming launched a platform for curating external projects of WG Labs, and in October — publishing houses of WG Cells.

He also dropped a bold phrase about what kind of company he sees: “we are a company that explores large markets. Will there be a billion microwaves with joysticks that you can play on? We will undertake to make software for them.”
