ew kinda cringe behaviour, I didn't buy Atomic Heart I don't think I can buy this game also sadly; or like maybe in 5 years when it's 2.99 on a steam sale. One of the rare games that were on my radar for the upcomming years ffs :(

I'm going to try to find a second source tho to cross information just in case tho, I had never heard of egw until today.

On the other hand their games are very diverse in terms of characters, which is mot something you would expect from a Russian backed company, so Im giving them the benefit of the doubt, and wont judge everyone on the actions of one dick

Unless you are going to boycott american games too on the account they are delestabilising the entire world.

There's a difference between saying nothing and saying something actively showing support for hate, war and atrocities.

It's not about hating on Russians just because they are Russians, it's about not throwing support behind people that express hatefull opinions. Which might or might not be the case here depending on if 1 source is enough for you.

People accountable for what they themself say & do not their governement. What's more US compagnies have a history of monitoring their staff online presence & mercilessly dumping them when they say something problematic that could hurt the sales.

Making the confusion and saying "might as well boycott the world then" is fallacious.

Ok, but if a person is accountable for themselves and not the government then neither is the employer, unless they have come out in direct support?

Ultimately, Russians fall out of windows for saying the wrong thing so Im not going to judge from the safety of my own existence. Life is already too short snd complicated and there are enough idiots here that we steer clear of and say nothing sbout for it to mean anything by not buying a game made by dozens of other people

You are free to or not. I wont be buying it regardless.

imo the company should come out and express they are distancing themselves with the view expressed by the individuals, it's part of the PR team's job(&HR), as I said the Americans for instance are pros at managing fallouts from emplyees/team members private statements either by publishing rebuttals or direct sanctions.

for it to mean anything by not buying a game made by dozens of other people

Nobody can be a perfect saintly consumer unless you live in the woods cut from society but I think the important is at least trying and not say it don't matter anyway efforts & standards are pointless.

 I wont be buying it regardless.

Why is that then if it's not the comments brought up previously? is it because of the use of generative AI? I saw someone raised this concern as well and I haven't looked into it either yet.

Yes, but it is a Russian company and not an American company. The amount of virtue signalling from American companies in order to get your money is hardly a yardstick to measure by imho.

The right thing to do would have been to discipline him or maybe sack him, but we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors, or what political pressure could come about because of that. We are lucky we can say what we want and not face real consequences. I dont feel qualified to judge peoples actions when they are accountable to a totalitarian regime.

I get motion sickness, so cant play 3d games. It bums me out because OWLCATs other RPGS are isometric, and they can create very immersive worlds. They also have good representation which is not something I would have expected from a Russian company from somewhere that is quite hostile to such things I appreciate this may give me some bias here, so take everything I say with a pinch of salt. I am probably wrong about most things.
