Ok. So politics aside here (ha!) what happens if sanctions between Russia and the US get heavy - not impossible given the current situation.
Without naming names. Many of our favourite flight sims are heavy on Russian content and investment.
I've always thought this a problem in the longer term.

Possible but probably very low on the radar, and FAR more difficult to stop than tangible goods. Probably a lot more wiggle room too, selling to publisher who then sells here, etc.

They did just stop MOLOT/VEPRs from being imported though. mad

Targeted sanctions typically hit the money which in Russia is primarily resources like oil and gas as it is the oligarchs that will push for policy change. Games are way low on the list as I doubt anyone in the Kremlin would listen to Oleg Maddox.


Ever forward!
