Cologne, Germany is figuring heavily in Wargaming.net's plans this summer. The studio is unveiling its new World of Warplanes MMORPG at the city's Gamescom event on August 17th, and has also signed on to be the primary sponsor of the 2011 European Games Awards (EGA) that will be given out aboard the "event ship" Pure Liner 1 which cruises the Rhine river.
The EGA ceremony goes down on August 13th, and is notable for the fact that players nominate games and companies as well as choose the award winners.
Wargaming.net released its free-to-play World of Tanks MMO earlier this year, and has been developing strategy warfare titles since 1998.

Wonder if they'll win? Ha! (This is me being sarcastic, I can't help but think they're trying to influence this award. I've seen them posting on their site trying to get people to vote for them. No surprise...)

That picture puzzles me. It appears the European Gaming Awards are held in the back of an 18-wheeler semi truck.

Yeah I found it slightly annoying when after the constant ingame spam asking players to vote for them in this award I went to the site and found out they are the main sponsor.

So, have Blizzard sued these guys yet?
