    For a few specific games? Yeah they could stand to lose, it’s not every game in their catalog.

    Totally different situation.

        They already don’t sell in particular markets because of laws, why do you think this time would be any different?

        The cost of making a point could easily make up for it, if we are just going to make stuff up that is.

          Oh, please, tell me how companies ignore profitable markets because of laws they don’t like. China and Russia have some weird gaming laws that require companies to remake their whole game assets to sell there, yet they do it.

            Bethesda games couldn’t be sold in Germany for decades, no lgbqt games in a host of countries, there was just a huge issue with Sony and their requirements for helldivers or whatever… thats just the last year or so, plenty of precedence actually now that you brought it up.

            Do you even know what you’re talking about here? Or do you just make whatever random claim comes into your head first?

            What do you have to claim that they would cave? Most just move on and not sell it from what we just figured out, can you provide any on your side…?
