Mundfish, de ontwikkelaar van Atomic Heart zou Russische connecties hebben en het beleid van Poetin niet expliciet veroordelen.

Citaat:

Ukraine's Digital Ministry has said it will ask Steam, Microsoft, and Sony to remove Atomic Heart from their gaming platforms in Ukraine, and possibly elsewhere, pointing to its retro-Communist aesthetic and reported "Russian roots."

As reported by the Ukrainian tech news/job site Dev.ua (Google translation), Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation (which also provided a statement in English to PCGamesN) writes that Atomic Heart "has Russian roots and romanticizes communist ideology and the Soviet Union." The Ministry cites the game's "toxicity," "potential data collection of users," and use of funds from the game "to conduct a war against Ukraine." The statement asks for an outright ban on the game in Ukraine but calls on other countries to consider "limiting distribution" of the game.

Citaat:

Mundfish's investors include Tencent, the Chinese gaming giant, and GEM Capital. GEM Capital's founder, Anatoliy Paliy, formerly served as first deputy general director for a Gazprom division, and GEM is actively involved in the Russian energy market. Like Mundfish, GEM claimed to games journalist Kirk McKeand in January that it was now based in Cyprus and had no Russian investments. You can read more about the hard-to-prove but quite plausible web of connections between GEM, Gazprom, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine at PC Gamer's detailed explainer.

Moeilijk. De game ontwikkelaar heeft ongetwijfeld connecties met Rusland, maar dat heeft Trump ook.
Ik zou daar niet op ingaan, tenslotte is Mundfish een privé bedrijf en niet de Russische Overheid.
