Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Stop supporting them and let their game fail.

Source? I would love to confirm this. If it's true I will stop playing instantly
From what I found they have made no comment other than “they will not leave any markets due to war”
As for being Russian
They moved their office to London (wonder why...) but part of the team still works from their origin in Russian St. Petersburg. And here is what I've found:
