I was looking a bit into the sanctions, and it's interesting how many of them essentially amounted to Russia changing the name of a product/business and continuing to offer the same thing as before.

It puts into perspective how superficial ownership of businesses and ideas really is.

It's not like McDonald's or Coke sent their Western workers to set up shop in Russia. No, they sold the 'rights' to their brand to Russians and then Russians employed Russians to serve Russia.

Maybe one day it will help people understand that the threat of businesses leaving a nation is completely hollow.

It doesn't affect prices for me.

I haven't bought a video game in years and I don't plan on starting anytime soon.

It'll be nice when the leeches bleed the industry dry and we're only left with people that, you know, actually care about the games.

If Indians play their cards right, they can come out on top after the West and East destroy each other.

I would be pushing for them to ignore the dumbassery plaguing both sides and try to become somewhat of a Switzerland.

"shot and killed"

Journalism is an art, and most people are horrible at it.

Maybe a few guillotines.

Sigh.

Of course they have to be scumbags and say "you should give these rich people power instead of those rich people."
