Why do anything to appeal to fucking Russian regime bullshit? Tell them to fuck off! Cowards.

Because then they’ll block steam in Russia.
I’m not defending Valve here they need to have more values, but realistically this game was never going to be available for sale in Russia. No matter what they did the game would be available in Russia one way or the other.

What’s wrong with Steam getting blocked in Russia? It’s not like Valve allows direct purchases by russian users.
Russian users losing access to their libraries without VPN is their own problem. They are responsible for their government, no one else.

Um, what? Most Russians that browse Steam do not endorse the regime (can’t check, but probably so given what happens in the West)

Ever heard of “bread and games” to keep the population docile and stop revolts?
