I'd assume the argument is the same kind of one made for sanctions, you restrict the interaction with the country to indicate you are displeased with some action(s) that government has taken.

It's not a good argument , mind you.

    Okay, yeah, I see what you mean.

    Yeah, I dunno, I think I don't feel like it's the most effective way to fight the war machine, to restrict non-enlisted from playing games lol. They are giving money to Valve anyway. Not being able to buy games wouldn't affect someone negatively, I feel. If anything it might make them richer and more productive. 😅
