Ukraine's Atomic Heart Attack [Feb 22, 2023, 8:47 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.”
Oh, bonus that I forgot - the documentary that he links to is by Robbie and Abby Martin. Not just Robbie.
Abby Martin used to have a show on RT. Y'know, Russia state propaganda. He's putting his faith into a documentary about how the West is to blame, and Russia is forced, that was created by a couple literally on Russia's state payroll.
"No different than CNN" he'll say. It's exceptionally different, but again, no one is advocating for watching CNN.
Oh, and Abby was once a hardcore 9/11 truther, which makes her suspect. We know she loves bad conspiracies based on misinformation and half-truths. Only, she's recanted on those. She admits she was wrong. But she still loves her conspiracies based on half-truths. And, for a while, she was on Venezuela's state TV channel's payroll. Again, doing a lot of complaining about the US while paid by another government to do exactly that.
To people here that complain that JDreyer and I are too far left - this is what too far left looks like. When you no longer can differentiate between what's real and what's trying to make you outraged so you subscribe to their Patreon and help them get more jobs with foreign governments.
