Ukraine's Atomic Heart Attack [Feb 22, 2023, 7:47 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Government of Ukraine plans to petition Valve, Microsoft, and Sony to remove
Atomic Heart from digital stores in Ukraine, and will ask platform
holders to consider “limiting distribution” of the game in other countries. At
heart of the matter are the new first-person shooter's Russian roots. There are
allegations that sales of the game directly benefit the Russian government and
that the game is possibly being used to harvest user data. Ukrainian tech
website
Dev.au first reported on this, and
PCGamesN has a statement in English directly from the Ukraine
government:
“Regarding the situation with the release of the game Atomic Heart, which has Russian roots and romanticises communist ideology and the Soviet Union, The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine will send an official letter to Sony, Microsoft, and Valve requesting a ban on selling digital versions of this game in Ukraine,” says Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, Alex Bornyakov.
“We also urge limiting the distribution of this game in other countries due to its toxicity, potential data collection of users, and the potential use of money raised from game purchases to conduct a war against Ukraine.”
“According to media reports, the game’s development was funded by Russian enterprises,” the statement continues. “Therefore, we call for all users worldwide to avoid this game. We also want to emphasise that the game developers have not publicly condemned the Putin regime and the bloody war that Russia has unleashed against Ukraine.”

Looking forward to a free Ukraine with EU and Nato memberships!
I hope you're ready to put your money where your mouth is when a world war kicks off. Granted we'll probably be incinerated.
I'm exhausted just reading this, not to mention no idea what your talking about.
I'm going to guess you didn't know there was a war going on in Ukraine?
While certainly wishing I was rich enough to fund Ukraine, if your thinking of a GoFundMe or Patron for them, there's probably already something.
Incinerated, not to say we should take it seriously but an accurate percentage is around 1%.
It's crazy to take someone like puttin-along's bluster seriously without looking at his actions.
He love's life, his mistresses, power, his wife and kids hiding out here in the US, and his wealth.
He's psychotic and narcissistic but not insane.
