To provide some context for what you’re about to read: Gunzilla is very into Web3 shit (Off The Grid has its own token), and so when you see CEO Vlad Korolev spending the bulk of a rant defending the merits of Web3 and using terms like FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt)<\/a> in what’s essentially an official company statement, you need to know he’s coming from a very cooked place.<\/p>\n

While people who have never played OTG and have never built a business sit and spread FUD to farm a few views \u2014 targeting the biggest web3 game ever created, a game that represents not only itself but the entire web3 gaming industry in front of traditional gaming \u2014 we will keep building for the millions of players who actually love our product.<\/p>\n

And we are deeply grateful for that support. Many choose to show it by becoming paid OTG Pro subscribers (100k users signed in 2025 alone).<\/p>\n

Every single day, 3,000 new players join OTG.<\/p>\n

And for those still spreading FUD \u2014 we\u2019re happy to set up a live dashboard so you can see every new player joining in real time.<\/p>\n

Access will cost you 100k GUN \u2014 so you can finally put real weight behind your words.<\/p>\n

Through all of the noise, OTG now has the highest player retention we have ever seen \u2014 2.5x higher than in October 2024, reaching industry-record D1 retention.<\/p>\n

A year ago, the same voices were claiming the game didn\u2019t have enough players for fast matchmaking. Since then, we have launched multiple new modes \u2014 Ranked, Solos, and Custom \u2014 something that is only possible with a rapidly growing player base.<\/p>\n

The same haters who posted thousands of times that we would never appear on Xbox, PlayStation, or Steam \u2014 were wrong. It happened.<\/p>\n

We are now the only web3 game to date available on PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n

They said we wouldn\u2019t ship the narrative campaign \u2014 we already shipped it to players in Q3 last year, and we keep expanding it with every new seasonal update.<\/p>\n

They said we wouldn\u2019t keep delivering \u2014 yet every single month we ship more updates, more features, and more content.<\/p>\n

Just open our YouTube channel \u2014 the track record is public.<\/p>\n

Haters keep making predictions.<\/p>\n

We keep delivering.<\/p>\n

OTG is a game built by a company of over 400 people, developed over 6 years, where the founders invested tens of millions of dollars before raising a single dollar externally.<\/p>\n

Within 6 years, there has never been a single day where anyone worked in a \u201cwork-life balance\u201d mode \u2014 it has been a day-and-night fight to ship a project of the scale of Call of Duty, built by an independent studio.<\/p>\n

And we made it.<\/p>\n

Through top streamers, we put a web3 game in front of hundreds of millions \u2014 doing more for this space than anyone.<\/p>\n

Off The Grid today is not just part of web3 gaming \u2014 it defines it, whether some people like it or not. Being named Web3 Game of the Year two years in a row.<\/p>\n

Today there is a new narrative from haters \u2014 that Gunzilla incorrectly laid off contractors or paid them with delays.<\/p>\n

Yes, we are optimizing costs \u2014 like every company in gaming, crypto, and tech is doing right now. We have been doing this for over a year.<\/p>\n

And yes, to not disrupt company operations, some payments may be scheduled in a way that works for the company\u2019s cash flow \u2014 not always for everyone individually. That\u2019s the reality of the world we live in.<\/p>\n

But to protect the interests of our players and our full-time official employees \u2014 whose salaries, over 6 years, have never been delayed by more than a week \u2014 we operate at a pace that ensures the company continues moving forward.<\/p>\n

And of course, we honor every obligation.<\/p>\n

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that one of the loudest voices \u2014 a contractor who finished working with us just a week ago \u2014 was repaid immediately.<\/p>\n

OTG has been live for over 1.5 years, and we\u2019re still here \u2014 despite how much some people would love to see otherwise. Sorry, we won\u2019t be giving you that privilege.<\/p>\n

And while our dear haters keep trying to find new reasons why Gunzilla should fail \u2014 we will keep responding with achievements.<\/p>\n

Including being recognized by one of the most reputable business media outlets in the world as one of the most innovative companies in gaming in 2026 \u2014 for bringing new life into the largest printed gaming magazine in the world, Game Informer, which we continue to grow day by day.<\/p>\n

My man, if you are straight up admitting that you are proud to be crunching on a Web3 game, and that you are not paying your workers on time but that it’s OK because they’re just contractors, I am not a “hater”, I think you can get straight in the fucking bin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To provide some context for what you’re about to read: Gunzilla is very into Web3 shit (Off The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-594154","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
