This article misses the point. The logic behind the likely regulation is that: a couple of GSC devs joined UAF (one KIA) and GSC donated to ukrainian funds -> you spend money on their products -> you have financially supported UAF. GSC wasn't proclaimed a terrorist org (lmao) but laws here can be applied backwards if they'd need so.

The absence of self-awareness there is astounding
I'm going to have to buy a new irony meter.
please buy the full game without waiting for a discount. thank you from a humble game developer from Kyiv, Ukraine.
I'm considering it. I'd probably want to know if it works well with Linux first.
Already pre-ordered the Ultimate edition. Goes against my usual principles but I don't care in this instance. I hope the game is a massive, GotY contending success.
Thank you <3
Are you working on the STALKER 2 team?
No, I work at Wargaming Ukraine. But at least a dozen of my friends and ex-colleagues are working at GSC and the whole Ukrainian game development community respects what GSC does!
It's inspirational what they've done. I really hope the launch goes well.
I will do a day one purchase despite being too busy with factorio expansion to actually start it just yet.
Thank you <3
This must be quite a big decision really, considering there are a lot of Russian players into the Stalker Universe.
But good on them, fuck em!
"This year, Russia also took control of Chornobyl,..."
This year again? I thought they dug their trenches in radioactive soil in the first year of the invasion.
Russian pigs
That's rich.
The question is whether they have the intention of publishing it in Russia in the first place.
Russian users can still use workaround to purchase from the steam store. I believe this is a big business for some enterprising users in other countries.
Where there is prohibition there is business. Always has been.
It will most definitely be banned (they even shut down one of the few Ukrainian language libraries in russia before the full scale invasion) and likely it won't be available in russian anyway.
It’s maybe my fault.
I immediately abandoned BF2042 after the second invasion of Ukraine because it was full of Russians and ‘expat’ or not I ain’t cosplaying as those assholes.
I can't even watch russian movies or listen to russian music (even artists that have openly opposed the full scale invasion). It just gets me in a bad mood.
Any time I see a russian flag on the internet, it's like seeing a nazi flag. I start thinking "Why the fuck is this here?".
