乌克兰迷雾局势 战机世界或面临开发危机

　　World of Warplanes Development in Danger?

　　战机世界开发危机?

　　Hello everyone,

　　大家好，

　　I am sure all of you are aware of what’s going on in Ukraine. Well, at least in general terms, as the actual situation seems to be very… fluid. In any case, you are probably also aware that as a retribution for Russian aggression, the European Union and the USA imposed various trade restrictions on Russia, which were recently confirmed to be in further effect.

　　很明显现在不可能还有人不清楚乌克兰发生了什么，嘛，至少从大体上说那儿的局势比较…胶着。不管怎么说，你可以把这看作是俄国入侵的应得后果，而欧盟和美国又对俄罗斯采取了经济制裁，最近才被确定这还将会持续一段时间。

　　As a part of the entire restriction, according to this Ukrainian article (and other sources), the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (the government) approved series of anti-Russian restrictions, which came into effect on 12.9.2014.

　　据乌克兰文章(以及其它资料)称，作为制裁的一部分，乌克兰内阁(政府)批准了一系列反俄举措，将会在今年9月12日生效。

　　These restrictions include several points, but one point in particular (which was highlighted by Yuri Pasholok on his blog) is very relevant to Wargaming operations:

　　这些措施包括多个方面，但是有一点尤其值得我们注意(Yuri在他的博客上特别指出了这一点)，它和WG的营销密切相关：

　　заборони передачі технологій, прав на об’єкти права інтелектуальної власності резидентам Російської Федерації та особам, які прямо чи опосередковано контролюються резидентами Російської Федерації або діють в їх інтересах.

　　“The prohibition on the transfer of technologies and rights to intellectual property to residents of Russian Federation and to persons, directly or indirectly controlled by Russian Federation residents or acting on their behalf.”

　　“禁止将科技文化产权转让给俄罗斯联邦的公民，或者是被俄罗斯直接或间接控制的，或者是表态支持俄罗斯的国家的公民”。

　　As you also probably know, the World of Warplanes studio is located in Kiev. So I have to wonder – will this influence the World of Warplanes development? Yuri Pasholok mentions“thousands of outsourcers, 3D-modellers and artists, who are not responsible for who took control of Ukraine”. On the other hand, he probably means other Ukrainian outsourcers, working for Russian companies directly. I asked the resident of Kiev, Edrard and his opinion is that this change should not affect the business with Wargaming, as it technically is a British company and Big Boss Victor Kislyi (company CEO) is Belarussian.

　　你也许知道，WoWp的工作室就设在基辅，所以难免会想，这是否会对WoWp的开发工作造成影响?Yuri提到“成百上千的外包商，3D建模者以及美工并不对乌克兰掌权者负有责任”，他可能指的是一些为俄国公司工作的乌克兰外包商。SS问了下基辅的居民，Edward，他的意见是这个条令并不会影响WG的商业运作，因为它是以英国公司名义注册的，而且CEO Victor Kislyi也是白俄罗斯人。

　　Hmmm… I wonder if WoWp wins the Golden Donkey Joystick this year. If it does, well… I don’t have to finish that sentence, do I?

　　嘛…不过SS也怀疑WoWp能否赢得今年的金摇杆奖…如果获得了…我没必要把整句话说完对不对。
