This past year brought many changes to our lives as well as the lives of our players.

We conducted an international survey in partnership with Fair Play Alliance and IGDA on mental health, polling some 21,000 online gamers.
We also continued developing our networking platform for gaming industry experts, The Big Deal. The platform added the new TBD PRO format of professional online summits, and held TBD PRO: UI/UX and TBD PRO: Game Design for our staff and that of affiliated studios. And this is just the beginning! We are planning to hold several more events in this format this year.
Finally, we really want our players to celebrate with us! This is why we will be holding special in-game events, gifts, and discounts in the following games and projects: Warface, Allods Online, Legend: Legacy of the Dragons, MY.GAMES Store, Armored Warfare, Warface: Global Operations, Revelation, Tacticool, Left to Survive, Hustle Castle, War Robots, Conqueror's Blade.
