1. Good. Steam should do the same.

2. I think they already use massively VPNs

3. Steam next hopefully

4. Steam next please. Fuck (Putins) russia.

5. After suspending PlayStation services in 2022 and ceasing music and film operations in 2022 and 2023, Sony has now fully exited Russia

6. With Sony’s exit, will other tech giants follow suit?

7. Oh shit. You know this is some good news Sony

8. It’s pretty hard to do business when the country has 30%+ inflation but xrate stays the same.

9. Good. I want steam to do the same

10. Sad. 
    I remember how exciting it was to see western companies coming here, Spotify, Steam… Seeing games being officially localized on a decent level. All of that flushed down the drain and locked away, most likely forever, thanks to a madman and his murderous ambitions. 💔
    Well at least that’s less taxes for the war machine and all that. 

11. Now do Steam. Russians don’t care about Ukraine but they surely care about videogames.

12. People asking steam, but forget that csgo has like 20-40% russian playerbase

13. [removed]

14. Well, that’s it, it will definitely help to overthrow the government in Russia now. Good job, Sony!

15. The piracy market for PlayStation is gonna pop off in Russia.

16. And thats how you lose out on all future Blue Oyster Cult albums!

17. This is the way.

18. Thank you Sony

19. No playstation online anymore.

20. How about closing Plastation in Russia all together until the war is resolved, how about that?

21. It’s OK they still have Sorny and Panaphonic

22. Valve next please so I can stop having Z spammed at me by Russians

23. It’s a useless measure and it’s also easy for sony to do and look good, when Russia is like 1% of their market.

    It won’t change anything, won’t save lives and before any of you mention the fact that sony won’t be paying taxes in Russia it’s such a small amount of money that it doesn’t matter while EU still buys oil and gas from Russia.

24. Another reason why Sony is dope!

25. That’s actually incredibly impressive to see a large corporation doing something like this. Feels like Sony is almost proactive in this while most corporations try to cling to whatever profit they could.

26. Good job Sony!!

27. Valve and Blizzard need to do the same. Games like DotA or WoW would be 100x better without Russians.

28. I hope Steam follows

29. Steam is never going to pull out from Russia

    stop trying to make “Steam next” happen, it’s never gonna happen

30. Get fucked Russia! 

31. Good job Sony

32. Up next on the news: “Trump announces trade tariffs on Sony due to mean trade practices.”

33. Displaying the reflexes of a slug.

34. Thank you, Sony.

35. I don’t like Sony one bit but I’m proud of them for this.

36. Now do the same thing to Israel.

37. Well done Sony, better late than never
