Gorelkin concluded the post by assuring readers that "the assets of Lesta Games will soon come under state control and then, most likely, they will be handed over to a specialised Russian company".

World of Tanks, like other Steam games, does not run in a sandbox the way mobile games do.

This means that anyone who can control the ability to push updates to a game can run whatever code they want on anyone's system who has the game installed, can access any data on the system that the user running Steam can access. Credentials, email, whatever. All you need is a backdoor or even an intentionally-introduced buffer overflow in the code that talks to the centralized servers.

A publisher's control of a game on Steam is equivalent to access to the computers that play that game.

Just saying.

I was worried for a bit Wargaming had returned to Russia, which would be very confusing as they have run pro-Ukraine events. But apparently it is the domestic Russian company Lesta Games that was the target here.

Yeah, even on Twitch there's a separate drops category for the Russian version.
