We’re taking the next step to build a unified infrastructure for all projects in the Wargaming.net universe and announcing the transfer of all players from the launcher to the Wargaming.net Game Center. This process will affect all Wargaming games, providing you with a single easy and convenient access point to all our products and services.
NOTE: Starting October 21, World of Tanks will only be available through the Wargaming.net Game Center. The Launcher will download and install Wargaming.net Game Center upon launch, then all installed games will be imported into the Game Center, including the World of Tanks client. This will become the only way to launch the World of Tanks client.

\”Unfortunately, the Launcher no longer meets the latest industry and technology standards. \”
The only reason for this, because WG abandoned the launcher.
WG intentionally stopped the development of the launcher, and now they may say, it is obsolete.
WG now pushes the Game Center full with advertisement.
Nice move.
Why should they waste resources updating both the launcher and the WGC?
At least it\’s better than the Epic Games launcher.
EGS and WGC are entirely different beasts though. I wouldn\’t exactly compare them because one is a small time launcher a dev uses for its own IPs and the other is vehemently hated by a lot of PC users for exclusivity deals.
