Do you know what madness is?

No, “it's not doing the same actions repeatedly hoping for a different result,” as Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3 said, but the decisions of the Russian dictatorship, which continues to amaze with its actions.

What is known

Today, the prosecutor general of the aggressor and killer country recognized the activities of the Ukrainian game studio GSC Game World as illegal on its territory.

It is stated that the authors of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series are “sponsors of terrorism,” and the new shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl allegedly “discredits the image of Russia and contains Russophobic content” — although the way Russia has discredited itself, no one will be able to do.

Now GSC Game World is forbidden to work in Russia and sell its games there, although they have not been sold there since the first days of the full-scale war, but the Russian prosecutor's office does not delve into such nuances.

Now, Russian media are obliged to make a special mark when mentioning GSC Game World and its games so that readers immediately see the danger posed by them.

But GSC Game World has good company, such a stigma in “free” Russia is marked on Meta, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Mark Zuckerberg is considered almost the main sponsor of extremism in the world.

We are waiting for Russian gamers to be imprisoned for playing and discussing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

P.S. GSC Game World employees are also banned from entering Russia, how they will survive this is unknown.
