In this context, and with Russian and Belarussian game studios often employing high level officials with direct links to the Russian government, and having financial investments from the same, a portion of their income is definitely going directly into that Russian war economy, before you even get to whatever taxes they may continue to pay to the Russian government. This is a peer-on-peer conflict where every available resource is pushed towards military purposes. Sadly, the overall health of the Russian economy will be fed directly into their ability to maintain the invasion and this could well last until one side simply can't sustain its war economy any longer. Russia and Ukraine have both moved to a total war footing.

To be clear, under normal circumstances I would not want to blame or punish the citizens of a country for the actions of their government, but these are not normal circumstances. This is a complicated topic and I don’t think there’s an objectively right answer, but I really haven’t seen it discussed much if at all in gaming circles. r/CoOpGaming - A community for co-op gaming r/xboxone - Xbox-specific subreddit for general Xbox news and discussion
