"Unpolitical" Russians?
TIL that exists.
I wonder how their McRonald’s is doing?
It's doing fine.
McDonald's is a franchise, as you know. So Russia simply has a "pirate McDonald's" with different branding. With "pirate Coke" among the drinks.
They got that Sespi and that 8Down
I've just realized that I can't remember what those things are named despite buying them a few times.
But, long story short, I suppose some things are limited only by IP.
Have they tried threatening the console with nukes?
I wish them good luck!
Is that guy really crying?
cool?
I mean if it exists and isn't just an old PC that'd be a miracle. If memory serves they got like 3 months or so to develop a plan...
They have some great game developers that could oh, wait they died at the front, nevermind.
I'm sure uncle Yuri can use his previous experience developing accounting programs in an old scorpion back in the 80s.
waiting for this release
Why would they bother focusing on consoles at all?
They would be way more successful investing in game developers.
How would they sell their games to other countries?
They have homegrown consoles?
Yeah there are a lot of things you can't do when you're half drunk all the time.
I think stats show that Russians are less drunk generally than Scandinavians (not a very surprising statement admittedly) and Baltic people and even Armenians and Georgians. And than Irish (again no surprise I suppose).
What Russians are, according to stats, is people who have tea too often. And I don't think that had a negative effect on the British Empire, but then UK might be more drunk generally than Russia.
So perhaps being drunk is, in some unknown way, a civilization-level advantage.

I can get behind that.
It's actually advanced chip production. They can't buy them because those chips are also really good for weapons. And making them requires tech they don't have. (But will at some point)
