Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov recently called on video game companies to stop selling, especially to PlayStation and Xbox, in Russian markets. The call was positive, and at this point, giant companies such as Sony, Microsoft and EA have suspended sales in Russia.
The latest racing game, Gran Turismo 7, has been released almost everywhere except Sony’s Russian PS Store. Microsoft has suspended all sales of new products and services in Russia. In addition, Electronic Arts has stopped selling all games and digital currencies in Russia and Belarus.
