The important stuff is:
--- They're claiming that sure, they had problems but a lot wasn't true and most players was satisfied with their stay
--- They're explaining some of the drama (Like, staff not getting paid)
--- There is a new and refined MoW coming next year
--- They don't know when the website will be up again

Why would you ever consider going to a pro GAMING house in POLAND?

tldr
+ Show Spoiler +
Basically it's a non-post...with very little actual information.


oliv got payed, her parents did not (something to do with incompetence and their contract being terminated)

Illu will apparently get paid for battle of MoW: get outplayed, but apparently didn't recruit ppl for 2 months and won't be paid that time? Also something about not being able to pay out salaries right now (no reason was given)

Something about the schedules, not really any information there.

BW. There will always be a special place in my heart for the game I spent 10 years to be mediocre at.

this thread needs moar kitty pictures.

but seriously why is the q/a session a week and a half from now?
you should strike the drama while its hot...

anyways gg MOW because after this one I dont think anyone will want to do business with you ( i wouldnt ). Unless youre like bruce wayne or something and dont mind being ripped off cause youre above all that...

Extremely fluffy press release with no real information regarding the issues. Don't even bother reading it.

I think it's better to refrain from calling people incompetent or accusing them of not meeting requirements in an "official" statement. It's not very classy, even if it is true.

God this just sounds like 3rd world quality. Everything about the house that is. Even this press release is poorly written.

Ministry of Win recently took part in a competition organized by "Puls Biznesu" - a Polish business news organization. BBI Seed Fund, Puls Biznesu and a few other potential investors were to invest in the best looking project. Feedback was enourmous and so they decided to back five different projects, instead of one. The biggest piece of the cake, however, which is about 4 million PLN (roughly 1,3 million USD) went to the Ministry of Win. Since the project was already paying dividends by that time, I would truly expect the MoW to arise anew, enhanced and more refined in the upcoming year.

I do hope that they will finally invest in proper staff (people who are actually qualified for the job rather than just being friends with whoever is running the project). Let's hope a PR specialist and a proper, fucking, translator will be among them. The idea behind the project is bloody fantastic and will probably defend itself for a while longer, but amateur hour has to stop. Otherwise, the show won't continue for much longer, even with the recent money injection in mind.

....seriously?

a freaking PDF file?

what a joke of an organization, just post your excuses and lies in plain simple HTML!

Adobe is buggy enough as is, no sense using it just for something like this...

oliv got payed, her parents did not (something to do with incompetence and their contract being terminated)
they probably didn't cut the crusts off of their daily sandwiches!

They indeed try really hard to impress. Sadly, they fail at it. Was expecting better from you, MoW
