Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is made by Saber Interactive, a studio with many connections to Russia. How much money it sends to fund Russian war in Ukraine? - AIN
Russian game companies are not our enemy. The leadership of the country may be, but so what? You going to try and influence that by choosing non-russian games? That’s ridiculous… :)
This is not about the politics of the company or whether or not the people support the government. Influence is not the point. This is about material support to the Russian government. Money spent on the game goes to the Russian government in the form of taxes. This blurb says it in plain text:
To put it crudely, an average gamer, who buys Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 for $59.99, helps the company to fund the Russian army with almost $12
Well yea, it’s another motivator for people to actively go against the Russian government in one way or another. The more discontent people are with the situation that’s been ongoing for 2+ years, the more likely something’s to happen, I’d wager
Nope.
wow what a thoughtful reply thank you, you really read that article and brought a lot of good points to the table for us to discuss
Ok I read the article… Answer is still nope.

I think it’s silly. You can’t fight dictators with gaming choices. That stuff is real life.
Thank you for engaging 💜
To be fair, the OP did not ask them to read the article, they asked a yes or no question.
I would argue we should. I win the argument! 👑
