According to the publication App2Top, the publisher and developer of mobile games Game Insight leaves the Russian Federation, liquidates LLC and dismisses employees. Two independent sources told the journalists about this and provided notifications that they were being fired due to the liquidation of the company.
According to former employees, even the heads of the Russian offices of Game Insight did not know about the impending closure. The company's management simply did not inform them about the upcoming changes in the organization. One of the HR specialists wrote in a general chat that "the company does not have the means to pay off its obligations." This also applies to the salary for June.

Game Insight had offices in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Murmansk and Taganrog. The total number of employees was about 600 people. According to experts who closely communicate with the company's management, the reason for the closure was sanctions imposed by Western countries.
The updated management of Game Insight has created another Russian LLC, whose employees will support the company's previously released games. At the moment, the development teams of individual Game Insight products are negotiating with third-party studios about the transition of entire teams.

hmm - some info are not looking to be correct. Only take a look on Wikipedia with the latest updates. And Wikipedia wrote it for a long time that the headquarter since more than ten years not in Russia anymore! ....Since May 29, 2014, the company is headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania.[.....

That doesn’t mean most of their employees work at HQ. My company is headquartered in Ireland and the actual headquarters consists of a small number of people

A couple of news articles verify some of the information above, but it does explain a couple of things, such as late events, no proper weekend bonuses and utter silence from support.

How Russian game developers have been hit by the shockwave of war

Russia's war on Ukraine and the subsequent western sanctions seem to have put the once-thriving Russian and Belarusian gaming industries in serious trouble. It took just weeks to Wargaming, the

I suppose we just sit around and wait. What is happening in the Ukraine is disgusting and beyond words, so our little game really serves no consequence in the wider scheme of things

Right now all we have are each other for support. And whether here, discord or on facebook there is absolutely no need to be bickering among ourselves, blaming one country over another. In fact why even blame the people, those of us who have been gaming with others around the world, while its the LEADERS of these countries who dont seem to like each other.
We here in the world of online gaming need to show the rest of the world, that just because you iive in China, Russia, the UK or USA, that we the people have no issues with any of others.
Having served in the military, though it was my duty, I often wondered what might happen if I came face to face with opposing forces, because I'm not a hater.

So again let us NOT hate each other, just because our presidents, kings, dictators, etc do

Truth. As any of you who have also traveled outside your country of birth has discovered, while our governments may not like each other much, most people are just like we are in our home countries. Helpful, friendly, and kind.

They are suffering from their bad leadership too, which could be said of most people who don't live in Nordic countries.

Whether it's just Putin and not the population is only half the truth.
Most have the opportunity to get information from media other than the Russian state media, but they just don't want to.

It's none of your damn business to tell who and what to read. This is a forum for the game.

That's not entirely factual, nor is it unique to China. Talking to my Russian co-workers they tell me at least that while the younger generation who have traveled abroad or have worked for non-Russian companies may be able read other than state media, most of the older generation just watches TV which is state run.

China is very similar in this respect. Granny's house had the TV going all the time and even auntie only checks Wechat besides the TV. At least they don't seem interested in hearing news from any other source.

And yet despite being happy, Oslo suffers another disgusting hate crime. 😒

Did I start the discussion?

 

[uschu]

Ok, lief's Talk about the game again.

From what I understood, we will not get any update for the time beeing, right?
So, in the first place we will neither get events nor WAM tasks.
That means at least for me, that I need to change my plans and change my fleet, to go for Adventure and QL destinations.

We will see how things are going on that are out of für controll.

I sent a message to Support about a week ago after all the problems that arose on here to express our concerns for the future of the game and for the wellbeing for whatever skeleton crew had been left behind. Today I got a reply. I'm no good at screenshotting but this is what it said.

"I can assure you that Airport City and Game Insight company aren't going to end. You can continue participating in space launches, visiting your game friends, collecting rewards from flights, increasing your level and just enjoying the game! If you have any questions you can write us back. Have a nice day! Ann."

No more than a few minutes after this arrived the Expansion sale popped back into existence
