  1. If it’s anything like the bitblaze titan they made locally I’d expect a console to be the size of a fridge with the computing power of a fridge.

  2. Probably only a cover. They need processors, GPUS and high end components badly.

  3. And the launch title will be Kremlin Hookers & Blackjack.

  4. Why? Is the communication with filthy westoids just too much in popular games? Your peasants might get an idea they’re been fucked? Or does he simply wan’t something where they can control every narrative?

    Either way, this is laughable.

  5. Is it gonna be the Zbox, pootinstation or blyastation?

  6. Isn’t it a plot of Police Academy: Mission to Moscow?

  7. They’d first need to design some processors… Or where exactly are they going to get those?

  8. Video game console made from old Brezhnev-era field radio parts and T-55 electronics, with a Z painted on the side and a tiny little cope cage on top?

  9. This is doomed to fail and he’d know if he would actually use the internet for once.

    If there are few or no blockbuster titles, what are they going to play on these consoles?
    Russia has a few games studios, but few of them compete at that level.

  10. 😂😂😂😂😂 that’s all I’ve e got you losers.

  11. Gaming session starts with a shot of vodka for graphics improvements

  12. It is uncanny how similar all this stuff by now is compared to the 80s and 90s of the last century. If anyone still has any doubts: we are already deep in a cold/warm war. I wonder when the red flag is coming back

  13. Tinpot dictator wants a service with tons of GPUs in the cloud for people to “play games.”

    It’s for AI training.

  14. I don’t even want to know what sort of games they’re going to make.

  15. Sounds like strait from “Police Academy: Mission to Moscow”

  16. I guess they need a lot of consolation in the coming years.

    Putin and his clique are destroying the human potential of Russia with little to show for, unfortunately.

  17. Ban Russian IPs from Steam, Xbox Live and so on. Russian youth will start caring about taking care of their lack of democracy more.

  18. They will buy some cheap mini pc on aliexpress and that’s it

  19. Putin also wants us to create our own OS, PCs, Game platforms, youtube & Instagram

    Wish it wasn’t a task given to corrupted idiots who don’t care neuther about Putin nor about Russia

  20. Probably this console still can’t run “Kyiv in 3 days” without throttling

  21. either try to get sanctioned goods like excuse for companies “we import those details for consoles not for war” or typical corruption scheme (if second there is two options: short term export of chinese ones under own logo, or project which would be delayed few times with increased financing only to be silently closed later with 0 results living paper)

    also may be just typical local consumption stuff, – “putin orderered reduce price of eggs, putin told not increase petrol price” typical blah blah to pose like he do something vatniks anyway will blame low level officials when see no actions happening

  22. Its a good way to indoctrinate youth. Can only imagine the game titles.

  23. Yeah, keep joking about blyat suka cheeki breeki but this is serious. Putin is trying to isolate Russia, especially the youth, from the world, by creating enough (closed-off, closely monitored and censored) virtual spaces for them to keep them happy enough while isolating them from global online spaces. He’s been trying to implement a national intranet for some years now.

  24. Please god we do not need more seperation in games

  25. Sounds like something Putin would push, to get high quality chips & electronics for his war machines. But would also be very dangerous to him as it would allow easier access for Russians from all regions to communicate with each other & organize, as well as letting the Russian people get accurate info on his lies and crimes against his own country and people.

  26. Nope, that would not work in Putin’s Russia. Video game industry is all about creative mindset and critical thinking. That environment does not exist in Russia. Then you need lots of money not from government or couple of oligarchs but from private and free businesses. You can’t create that kind of environment in today’s Russia. Even if they have the right hardware (which is enormously difficult to overcome) then they have zero chances in software development area.

    Imagine an environment where it is authoritarian and corrupt as hell. It is not efficient to work for anyone. Any project would be waste of time and can be delivered only in poor quality.

  27. The chips will be taken from washing machines stolen from Ukraine.

  28. The Russians can’t even manufacture a simple home appliance that can be successful anywhere abroad that is not North Korea, though i doubt even north koreans would prefer russian brand instead of older smuggled south korean products. Making a successful video game console is not a joke especially in this day , there is a reason u won’t find many companies making it. This is not the 1980s and honestly the only technological export russians can do is software companies, rather small one offering their services to the rest of the industry but that’s about it. Obviously not counting defense systems and natural commodities like Oil, gas or minerals & even agricultural products
