I'm not even sure how the War Thunder community managers haven't turned into the Joker yet. This is the 17th time. I'd be calling quits.

Or they're double agents!

I would think toeing the line like this and being ignored would encourage actual security breaches

Probably even more so if someone very high up in the executive branch did so as well

Toeing is correct. Something like not stepping over a line, whether literal or figurative, you're up at the edge, almost crossing the line, your toes are touching it. Toeing the line.

Ah, I always imagined towing like in a tugboat. Like towing a fishing line or net. Guess I was mistaken.

It's a game that reaches across adversarial borders. Allowing or encouraging leaks like this could bring Gaijin closer to threat of sanctions regardless of law. Any segmentation of the player base would lead to a reduction in user count and therefore a loss of profit.

So Gaijin cars, a lot.

Iirc they're a Russian company registered in the UK at the moment so they could probably have issues if they don't try to stop it.

Didn't Gaijin say that they were gonna freeze the stats for the armament when this happened or was that a fever dream?
