This is just crass and accomplishes nothing.

Performative activism that harms innocent writers.

Why bother if there were only 2 of them? It's not like they're going to have anything to review anytime soon

discriminatory actions taken towards people because of their nationality is xenophobia


The world taking actions against a Country that invaded a sovereign nation slaughtering innocent children in order to pressure its citizens to apply pressure to its dictator. This forum is honestly embarrassing

As someone with family in Ukraine, some of these replies are getting me heated, not gonna lie.

Good on OpenCritic on showing some support in their way. That's all I'll say for this thread.

I usually support businesses stopping their services in Russia and Belarus.
But this feels very unnecessary.

By not showing video game reviews

*slowclap*

Nah sorry this is weird and does nothing to harm the country in any way except harming the writers of those reviews.

Russia needs to be ostracized from the world until they leave Ukraine, plain and simple. It sucks for the Russian people but its their Dictators fault.

Are these two Russian publications reporting war propaganda?
If yes, I think it's a good move.
If not, I don't see how censoring press is counting as a valid move against Putin of all people.

Considering how off the rails this immediately went, we're keeping it closed. We will also review reports in the meantime.
