Continues to operate in Russia

Government represents the people

meanwhile in russia:

Lol who cares what those orcs think, they aren't even human.

Oh you sweet summer child. I bet you think presidents are elected into office too.

why does everybody on reddit speak like they are the president of modding and speaking for all modders and mod users

Any cute russian girls who applied to be my girlfriend, thank you all for reaching me, applications are over and I have decided on one. Check your dms for more details

God I wish, but that's obviously not the case.

>ban them
>affects nothing important as the breads and circusses will just be free and russian "devs" are useless in society as a whole anyway
Why bother with the symbolism if they can't buy shit now anyway? This way you fly under the radar on both sides which will help after the war is done.

All payments from russia are blocked as far as I am aware.

US hegemony, now and forever

You can still pay via online payments and Kazakhstan

no

>banning people from consooming bing bing wahoos will stop the war
The absolute state of w*stoids.

phew good thing that reddit shut down paid mods, now we got monthly fee mods paywalled by patreon, and big mods taking several years to complete then turning into a standalone paid game

>if you make your enemies pirate all your products you win

Just pirate them.

They should be on the streets

Also, if your goal is to weaken the country, banning videogames is just not the way to go. To put it lightly.

To foreign country yes

Innocent ukrainians were murdered and raped by other ukrainians for 8 years before that.
Do you think banning them from playing video games would prevent that?

LOL

Literal retards

Thank god this is not true, or else only low iq idiots would be in my government

Rus shit detected.

Dota 2 and CS:GO are both hugely popular in Russia and both are free. Denying them access to servers & matchmaking effectively makes both games unplayable outside of LANs

I can't believe there are people who actually believe this.

No.

Yes, and?
Thankfully I'm not a mutt like you

It's fucking videogames, it's not exactly any sort of critical component. If Russians want to buy videogames from steam then let them

There are far more important industry's that would impact their economy

What the fuck do you think you are changing just by punishing civilians on russia? Of course, this is just entertainment, but not letting them use payment services sending for example artists, code monkeys or anyone that works online into bankrupcy just because there is a war going on. Do you really think this helps the west be the good guys? There will be a time after war, this is basically a nato vs russia war and the more we keep fucking the normal russians the lesser our chances are of reconcilliation just because putin and kremlin high command decided to invade who knows why

if you were reborn and had to pick a father and had the choice between biden, putin, merkel, trudeau and macron, who would you pick as your father?

Ah, the irony is palpable.

is there any evidence that putin even uses steam?

>Russians scared shitless about losing their Steam libraries

fucking kek try not being a mongol horde maybe you'll get to enjoy being allowed to exist

Valve never ever cared about politics. Gaben is a pure capitalist and only ever intervened in the free market of his platform in absolute edge cases where he could be sued (like some of the CP games).

Because punishing your average joe for the crimes of their government has always worked out well in the past

see: Germany post ww1

Thanks for the (you), but I'm right.

That's French bitch is probably right, Russia will just distance itself from the West permanently. It's technically preventing NATO from getting closer to China, too.

Those "civilians" are collectively responsible for Russia's illegal war in Ukraine. Suck it down, Ivan.

>the people
The people in government, sure

>Ukraine
just an other shit hole country being destroyed by war. not even the only one currently going on right now. why are we supposed to care exactly?

he knows that if you take russian students' vidya they'll riot, and if there's actual rioting on the streets of moscow putain will nuke everything to remain in power

How?

Who says we want reconciliation? The russians should all suffer, fuck them. Hope russian babies starve to death, hahahah.

You are genuinely retarded.
That's is the fucking reasoning that drove europe to ww2 and you are repeating it like an illiterate nigger.

POO IN THE LOO RUSSIANS

Except no one is on Russia's side this time. They will be gangraped, the country disintegrated and then russian slavshits will never pose a threat to civilized countries ever again.

Care that edge boy, your mummy will get angry if she sees you post stuff like that

There was a tiny bit of ukraine stuff in the form of a game getting featured on the front page while it had a big ukrainian flag on it but that's pretty minor compared to everything else, it's based

Yeah, I can't even comprehend this trick. Even ignoring whether or not a thing is bad or not, I didn't do it, so fuck you. It's that easy.

>DINDU NUFFIN OFFICER

>why are we supposed to care exactly?
you aren't supposed to care, it's just media wanting you to care. you can accurately measure how much you are influenced by media by just looking at how much you care about ukraine.

>Russia is... le bad because MSM said so!
Meanwhile you can see civillians casually talking to Russian forces in areas occupied by them.

This will escelate until average people are being denied payment processing for wrongthink.
Enjoy getting canceled

I thought the leftist narrative was putin is a dictator
are you now going to go extoling the virtues of revolt while also thinking people should not be allowed to own the tools of revolt

so the same, but worse, end result as if steam had paid mods all those years ago

China and a good many random countries could easily side with Russia in the event of a world war.

This is just an edgy contrarian baiting nigger

you really beat the shit out of that strawman huh?
who even said that?

was waiting for the rape. disappointing

>NOOO NOT MY HECKING STEAMERINOS
Pretty sure an average russian doesn't buy video games and only uses steam to play csgo and dota.
There is a reason why all the major pirate scenes started by ruskies.
Banning them from buying games is the most retarded shit ever.

Russians are responsible for allowing their leaders to stay in power.
>B-but we are powerless to change anyt--
Irrelevant, just as germans were collectively at guilt after WW2, so will you.

>first they elect a retard, twice
>then they elect a nigger, also twice

This

Nobody wants reconciliation with Russia anymore as long as it's current government exists.
All the shit they do that no one paid attention to the first few times - the war crimes, the filtration camps, their state media and parliament constantly threatening the Baltic states and Poland with nukes - all that has come to light.
The US has toppled governments for lesser crimes, the only reason that Moscow isn't under siege right now is because Russia has nukes. So the alternative is to suffocate the country until Russians have had enough and force a change of government. Russia needs the post-WW2 Germany/Japan process where their government is essentially a puppet of the allied forces for 60 years until they are sufficiently defanged

Fucking selensky getting uppity af with his little mini "wins" while getting literally every resource available from the west. Then he goes on and shits on german politicians and uninvites them because ???. Hope that fucker and Ukrainia gets bombed to ashes and that jew faggot right with it.

good one

LOOOOL! Is that what the russian state propaganda is staying now? China doesn't give a FUCK about Russia, they'll just sit on the sidelines and once you have been crushed, they'll take the entire eastern part of Russia for themselves.
> good many random countries
See pic related, LOL! Puny, irrelevant useless countries that won't make one bit of difference.

everything. the world needs to sanction the USA until they get their shit together

>everyone i dont like is X
why is this such a dominant tactic, it always thrives, i guess people are fine with deluding themselves into a corner where they aren't even open to reality anymore but imagine doing that, it has to be sheer desperation

If only there was anything left to buy, feels like every publisher pulled out their games from here save for indies. Not like it matters since there's no way to pay for the games anyway.
>It's fucking videogames, it's not exactly any sort of critical component.
If only. Japs usually stay out of politics and their publishers were among the first to restrict access. Bamco and Koei are still here at least, probably just haven't heard the news kek

China has zero reason to side with Russia. All their money comes from the US and the EU, and they've seen how untrustworthy Russia is.

Wholesome.

>trying this hard
Shalom and welcome, is this your first day? Go back over the pamphlet you were given for proper post syntax.

No, see, if you want Russians in particular to believe this shit, you would have to throughly defeat and mindbreak them. Like it was done to Germans, actually.

Steam needs to ban russia and VPNs, imagine the ultra-seethe.

B-BUT USA
>Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about…?") is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy, which attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving the argument.

>Edward Lucas's 2008 Economist article associated the tactic specifically with the Soviet Union, stating "Soviet propagandists during the cold war were trained in a tactic that their western interlocutors nicknamed 'whataboutism'. Any criticism of the Soviet Union (Afghanistan, martial law in Poland, imprisonment of dissidents, censorship) was met with a 'What about...' (apartheid South Africa, jailed trade-unionists, the Contras in Nicaragua, and so forth)." Lucas recommended two methods of properly countering whataboutism: to "use points made by Russian leaders themselves" so that they cannot be applied to the West, and for Western nations to engage in more self-criticism of their own media and government.

Which means (You) are responsible for all the warcrimes committed in Iraq, Lybia, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.

>The russians should all suffer
Why?

No, this line of argument inevitably leads to "might makes right, so the US can do whatever it wants". It's very natural, I suppose.

whataboutism is completely valid because without it only the newest thing would ever be discussed in isolation and you would never arrive at a bigger picture

This. If you deny that Russians are collectively responsible, then you also deny that all jews are satanic cultists bent on destroying the white race, Western civilization, and are incapable of changing due to genetic malice.

It's not just Russians anymore who shit on how retarded Americans are.

>yes, banning Russian gaymers from Steam will surely bring peace to Ukraine this makes total sense and is exactly what I would expect Gaben to do
Literal retards
