One of today’s biggest tech companies Sony and Microsofthas stopped its sales in Russia due to the tension between Russia and Ukraine.
Recently Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorovhas called on esports and gaming companies to impose sanctions on Russia.
The number of sanctions against Russia around the world is increasing. Especially the esports and gaming world imposes very harsh sanctions. In some esports arenas, Russian teams do not receive invitations, while some games are not available for sale in the Russian market. In the past days, other big game companies also announced their sanctions against Russia.
Both Russian citizens and Russian teams are likely to be deprived of many things during the ongoing occupation period. Also, many companies Ukraine launched a fundraiser. Especially famous players and esports players donated large numbers on behalf of their countries. Russia’s deprivation in particular worries many esports teams and sports teams.
In addition to the fact that players and teams could not participate in the events, they were also away from the game market in the country. It looks like many more sanctions will be implemented until the problems between Russia and Ukraine are calmed.
