Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that that probably wasn’t gonna be a winnable war for the Russian government.
Hol up, Kagi is indexing discord servers?
No, that’s from some “disboard.org” service that I linked to. I just used Kagi to find that page.
Ahh OK that makes sense thanks
So … how mad at Putin does this make Russian gamers? Mad at all? Do they care?
There are an estimated 30-40 million users is Russia, with the majority being men age 25-34. The overall goal is likely to criminalize it so they can be forced to enter military service or go to jail.
It’s fine, they use Dropbox to share classified info on the world of tanks forums
Kinda mad, but this won’t make them go on a Kremlin. I don’t know what will.
Would still be way way worse if Steam got blocked.
