That's how to cease operating in a country.
Valve should cease operating in Russia.
Also, Valve with every other company should already have been ordered to stop operating in Russia by their respective countries.
I don't disagree.
That just fucks over gamers, not the Russian government.
So?
It's not as simple as about backbone. I agree that ethics are a good reason to stop doing business with an individual but if a company like Valve were to pull out of every country based on ethical matters, they'd need to found their own country.
Not every country wants people like me dead.
Would that really be a bad thing?
Steam is one service Russians can't easily replace. If their backwards policies prevent it from operating there, maybe they would take steps to change them.
