The Russian-Ukrainian War affected the game world in many areas. While the development process of some games was interrupted, some companies went to the way of imposing an embargo against Russia. In fact, we are not encountering examples where the measure is missed in this regard. Again, we are facing the news of an embargo, whether it is a measured or an excessive reaction, the decision is yours.
Eurogamer has contacted Electronic Arts to ask if the Russian national team and Russian league teams will be included in FIFA 23, and EA confirms that these teams will not be included in FIFA 23. The statement made is as follows:
“EA Sports, in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and, like many voices in the football world, calls for an end to the occupation of Ukraine and the establishment of peace. In line with our cooperation with our partners in FIFA and UEFA; FIFA 23 will not include the Russian national team and Russian clubs.”
EA, which removed Russia from FIFA 22 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, also stopped game sales in Russia and Belarus in recent months. With the announcement, he confirmed that he will continue this practice in the new game.
What do you think, dear Gamewalkers, is this reaction normal or is the measure being missed a little?
