      It’s nice they also included the games one could buy if they did want to support Russia’s war for completion.

      Would have to stop supporting Chinese games as well since they finance the war machine, but that will never happen.

      A wonderful piece of Ukrainian propaganda. Especially this part:

      >
      (Atomic Heart) Developed by Mundfish, the project drew criticism for its heavy use of communist symbols and its portrayal of a thriving USSR

      Thriving USSR? Is that where the soviet robots staged an uprising and murdered everyone around, leaving you the only person alive? Have they even looked at the game before spewing this nonsense?

      And then continuing:

      >NBC News [reported](http://nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/atomic-heart-video-game-draws-scrutiny-ukrainians-russia-ties-rcna72714) that it was unable to find proof that sales were directly funding the invasion, but noted that Mundfish’s investors include GEM Capital, a fund tied to a former Gazprom executive,

      So, to make it clear, they are suggesting to boycott a game because the game that developed it has one of the inventors who is a fund that is tied to a former(!) Gazrom executive who I guess is tied to the head of Gazprom who is tied to Putin?

      Waiting for the next suggestion to stop planting trees, because the oxygen molecules produced by them will be inhaled by the ruzzian forces.

      ⚠️ Important Clarifications

      · Publishers vs. Developers: Some games are developed by Russian/Belarusian studios but published by international companies (e.g., Loop Hero is published by Devolver Digital). A portion of your purchase still goes to the developer.
      · Historical Context vs. Current Support: A purchase of the original Tetris today would not support Russia, as the rights are owned by The Tetris Company. However, its creation is a historical fact.
      · Acquisitions: Some companies, like Pixonic, have been acquired by larger Russian entities (e.g., My.Games, part of VK Group). The money still flows into the Russian corporate structure.
      · Individual Responsibility: This list is provided for informational purposes. The decision to purchase or avoid these games based on where the revenue goes is a personal one.

      I can only really talk of the flight sim IL2 Sturmovik. In its leaked asset players found FPV drones with bombs modelled. They were removed from the official released game afterwards. But it indicates that they use their flight sim capabilities to train Ru FPV pilots.

      I fucking knew the uptick in War Thunder sponsors on YouTube had a reason behind it, I just couldn’t prove it.

    21. sickdanman on

      The first 3 games barely have any ties to russia. Like the worst thing they could find out was that one studio had one investor who was a ex GAZ PROM fund ceo or that War Thunder had sponsored a russian youtuber. They should have not been mentioned at all imo. Squad 22 ZOV however makes sense as it potrays the war in ukraine as liberation and is just blatant russian propaganda

    26. TheSpaceDuck on

      For me this is the most disturbing part as Valve has a lot to answer for:

      >**Squad 22: ZOV**

      >The most brazen example is Squad 22: ZOV, released on Steam in May 2025 and [openly endorsed by Russia’s Defense Ministry.](https://united24media.com/anti-fake/russias-war-crimes-simulator-what-squad-22-zov-game-was-really-made-for-9016) Developed by SPN Studio, the game reframes the invasion of Ukraine as a “liberation” and packages war crimes as playable missions: the first free campaign is the “liberation of Mariupol,” where more than 10,000 civilians were killed, with further missions available for purchase to reenact Russia’s 2014 invasion of Donbas and Crimea. On Steam, the title is advertised as “recommended by the Russian military” for cadet training

      For comparison, [a shooter with a pro-Palestine theme was banned from Steam for promoting terrorism after one of the missions was named after the Oct. 7 attacks and featured paragliders](https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/11/28/computer-game-recreating-october-7-hamas-attack-pulled-after-police-appeal). Obviously it was in very bad taste, but even that game gives you a game over if you kill civilians.

      Meanwhile, a game used to train actual terrorists and framing one of the biggest massacres in modern history as „liberation“ is allowed. I’d seriously love to hear Valve’s reasoning to justify this.
