Well that certainly informed me. Thank you Comrade I will endeavour to ensure my mind is too small for doubt from now on.
What are you even talking about?
I can tell you didn't read the article since those servers were user hosted servers, not Steam servers.
Steam, Microsoft, and Sony would not risk the consequences of not following current sanctions. The sanctions that would apply to those is the removal of using the SWIFT banking system, which all the mentioned companies have followed through with.
There isn't a sanction that completely bans all business in Russia for any company. In fact, most the sanctions are based around physical goods, flights, and oil.

Well then that's a misconception as to what we're being told. We were told we had air tight sanctions, and on businesses who do business with Russia. That is obviously untrue. As it is obviously untrue of the games being sold, and the servers of the said games thereof.
He also conveniently left out the part where Valve blocked the map in Russia

The biggest sanction in banking. Which is still in effect.
Russian users can only use Steam Wallet funds to buy games. PayPal has blocked business in Russia along with the only banking institution that was available for purchasing through Steam.
Valve dis not block access to accounts or purchases games for Russian users because it is nonsensical to do so. Even Microsoft, GoG, and Epic only blocked the purchase of new games, not access to the accounts.
Removing access to accounts was never a sanction, just a request from the Ukrainian government.
"A Finnish newspaper is using a secret room in a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map to provide uncensored news reports about the Ukraine war to people in Russia".
Obviously, a Valve game is being used for purposes that are meant to entertain Russian players. Why are Russian players, allowed to buy, use, implement games sold by Steam?
And again, its not just Valve. Russian developers are selling games on Xbox and Sony as well. And so to the extent Mango is right, that is not what we're being told. That's the point.
If those developers have banks outside of Russia, then there are no sanctions broken or in place.

There are sanctions but it is not a blanket ban on every business inside and out.
Take Cadburys originally English to my knowledge got bought out a couple of times now owned by a big Indian company and that company is pro doing business with Russia.
Sanctions against specific businesses/people generally are quite tight. These are being added to over time probably so rich people around the world doing business with them can keep their own losses to a minimum.
London had major financial deregulation past ten years so unscrupulous people could wash their money then Russia tries to take Kyiv and the government realises whoops we better put those regulations back on and start making sanctions on certain people.
The planet is going to be controlled by whichever trading block has the most people and the strongest hold of its powerbases so countries like India and China and likely South America eventually will be dominating whats right and wrong across the world.
Let's take Saber Interactive as an example, the studio that created Mudrunners.
They were founded in Russia, but bought by Embracer so their headquarter is now in New jersey. They even tell you on their homepage that they are an US company.

They even relocated all their remaining offices from Russia and Belarus to Amenia.
No once again Rangers claims are completely untrue.
They would be broken, being they're circumventing the sanctions. Anyhow, i think the OP has his answer.

In fact, on their forums, and Workshop, most users i would say are from Russia, posting, on this site.
A bunch of uninformed users making wrongful claims doesn't make things true. You should know that by now
