@ 2023/02/24A little too close to that nice Mr Putin
Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation has asked Valve, Microsoft, and Sony to halt the sale of Atomic Heart in Ukraine and will urge "limiting" its distribution in other countries because of the "the potential use of money raised from game purchases to conduct a war against Ukraine."
For those not in the know, Atomic Heart is developed by Mundfish, a Russian studio backed by a company founded by a former deputy general of Gazprom, Russia's state-run energy behemoth. It is distributed by VKPlay, which is effectively controlled by Gazprom.
