A few hours ago, Epic Games announced the suspension of digital game sales in Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine. However, it won’t block Russian players from having access to their already-purchased titles. Users will still be able to communicate with others.
“Epic is stopping commerce with Russia in our games in response to its invasion of Ukraine. We’re not blocking access for the same reason other communication tools remain online: the free world should keep all lines of dialogue open.”
