For a few specific games? Yeah they could stand to lose, it’s not every game in their catalog.

Totally different situation.

They won't. Because of short term greed.

They already don’t sell in particular markets because of laws, why do you think this time would be any different?

The cost of making a point could easily make up for it, if we are just going to make stuff up that is.

Oh, please, tell me how companies ignore profitable markets because of laws they don't like. China and Russia have some weird gaming laws that require companies to remake their whole game assets to sell there, yet they do it.
