Valve generates revenue in its competitive multiplayer games by allowing players to randomly earn crates as they play.

For those who dont know, Valve is the company that created the online gaming/store platform called Steam and famous titles like Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, DOTA 2, CS:GO and Day of Defeat. In Wargamings quest to maximize profits the latest station seems to be Valve. They are caught on the ever increasing profit train to where making a profit isn't enough, they have to make more and more and more and more to feed their never satisfied investors so the game as a whole suffers for it. They are caught on what's known as the profit treadmill. It's not about making money, they make way more than enough to run their business and make sure everyone is taken care of. The whole being a business thing doesn't exist anymore. Well they always have no problem what so ever creating more and more ways to get us to spend money but asking to have a game that works properly is too much to ask. Make people enjoy the game and they will pay money for gold, camo's, premium time or whatever. I understand wg has a business to run but this is not the way. Now we even have to buy keys to open these crates? This shows what it's all about: MONEY. But pay cash money for a crate with x% possibility for a tank is a big mindfk. Cmon, the crates bs has lowered my will to play and pay long time ago, been here since 2015.
