    And War 10. We’re skipping War 9 because the number nine sounds too much like “death” in some languages and the marketing team likes big round numbers.

      I thought it was because “War 9” is too similar to “Win 9” or Windows 9x. This could cause software compatibility issues so its best to just skip straight from 8 to 10.

      Right now we’re releasing War 10, and because War 10 is the last version of War. It’s all about War as a service.

        Okay, just for shits 'n giggles we’ll throw in a War 11. Just mind that it can’t be fought with perfectly good legacy weapons, those will need to be replaced.

        War 8 with a large regional sub-conflict called War 8+ War X (pronounced ten) which revolutionizes warfare. You’re gonna love it. Gets renamed into War Xs but nothing much is new. Kicks back into War 11 and local conflict War 11 Pro which is smaller than the regional War 11 Pro Max though honestly, they’re all the same.

        Eventually gets rebranded as War 2026 even though conflict is taking place in 2025.

          Meanwhile there’s some annoying neckbeards over here acting all superior talking about GNU/ArmedConflict or as I’ve recently started calling it GNU + ArmedConflict.
