The Developer is Russian, it is idiotic to think that they wouldn't store their own money in their own country, just because there's a war started by their president.
If you really cared about morality and war economy, a clear deterrent for you, then the American and European game industry wouldn't exist anymore in your eyes due to their larger lists of war crimes and stained hand, or you'd be a hypocrite.
So just enjoy the game, and play it. It's amazing.
What US and Europe do is not even remotely comparable with what russians do, please. See their atrocities in Butcha. And there are many cities like Butcha. Besides, have US or any European country annexed anything after UN was founded in 1945? Because russia did.
I have friends who had to flee their homes, I have colleagues who died defending their country. The downtown of my city is ruins after russian missile. So f russia.
The US invasion and occupation of Iraq have upper estimates of over 1 million dead, which is likely accurate. That's just one US war. It is the dominate superpower involved in conflict globally.
People forget the US drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They literally would drone strike weddings. Drones were often set to 60% certainty, meaning they would strike targets which 40% of the time weren't the person they were looking to kill.
Among US allies, I would point to Turkey (a NATO member), which invaded and occupied half of Cyprus (an EU member) in the 1970s, and maintains that occupation today.
When it comes to Ukraine, German former Chancellor Merkel has opened admitted the Minsk Agreements were a scam, a fraud, meant to buy time to build up and arm Ukraine for a war with Russia. The US and its allies never genuinely tried to find a peaceful solution. They wanted a war in Ukraine to bleed and weaken Russia, and it is Ukrainians who suffer to this end. Meanwhile, German, Russian, and American arms manufacturers have been greatly enriched by the war, and it has been used as a test bed for new weapons on both sides.
So sure, point out Russian atrocities, but don't act like the other side is any better. Honestly, when I have the money, I'm gonna go ahead and buy this game just because of stupid crap like this. No dev deserves to be punished for the actions of their government.
