“Regarding the situation with the release of the game Atomic Heart, which has Russian roots and romanticises communist ideology and the Soviet Union, The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine will send an official letter to Sony, Microsoft, and Valve requesting a ban on selling digital versions of this game in Ukraine,” says Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, Alex Bornyakov.

“We also urge limiting the distribution of this game in other countries due to its toxicity, potential data collection of users, and the potential use of money raised from game purchases to conduct a war against Ukraine.”

“According to media reports, the game’s development was funded by Russian enterprises,” the statement continues. “Therefore, we call for all users worldwide to avoid this game. We also want to emphasise that the game developers have not publicly condemned the Putin regime and the bloody war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine.”

The hilarious part of it is if you actually play the game it doesn't take long for the story to go into. "There's no such thing as perfect communism and man is inherently greedy no matter what, Russian, American, or otherwise." territory.

But ya know, RUSSIA BAD, MULTI-LAYERED STORY TELLING ISN'T A THING.

I am Russian and I find it kinda understanable. Everything Ukrainian is de-facto banned in Russia as well. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64625127 a girl is facing up to 10 years in prison for an internet post.

Romanticises the communist ideology? Someone only played the first 10 minutes.

Have you read what she wrote? She was trying to justify terrorism against Russia in her Instagram story. If the tables were turned and an American made an Instragram story promoting terrorism against USA they'd also be arrested.

She's not even in jail or anything, she's on house arrest

I mean Jesus christ, the funny talking glove basically flays communism alive on multiple occasions just through explaining Kollectiv 2.

I went out and grabbed a physical PS5 copy just in case the Resetera crowd gets their way like they have in the past like with Limited Run Games firing their community manager over a whole lot of nothing. You just never know. I'm happy they're 0/2 when it comes to failed boycotts with Hogwart's Legacy and Atomic Heart.

[Γαῖα]

Too late, cats out of the bag and if anything will just make people flock to buy it simply because its viewed as taboo to own a copy.

[RabbitBreeder]

Ukraine shouldn't get involved in these games. tbh.
