Owlcat Games of Pathfinder cRPG fame posted a recent update. With the sanctions and Russia being removed from SWIFT, I just thought it could serve as a reminder how even a small studio like them can be affected by a madman's stupid plan of invasion. They're in a rough place, speak out and they face worse problems from Russia, they can't access their payments, the ruble is currently in free fall.

I know a lot of us (I like to think all) agree with the West's response to Putin but the average Russian is still hurt by his actions.

Fuck Putin.

This is written in such a safe way... But I suppose if they straight out said "Fuck Putin" they could say goodbye to their business.

They were already treading in rather dangerous water for depicting LGBT characters positively in their games, and a AMA done a long while ago basically indicated that this wasn't accidental or forced upon them by Paizo via source material (the creators of the Pathfinder franchise). Wrath of the Righteous for instance outright features a married lesbian couple that serve high positions within your advisory council throughout the game, and one black male companion that can only be romanced by male characters.

They absolutely have to lay low until hopefully this all blows over.

Unless I'm mistaken, their website seems to show Cyprus as their main address? But they also operate in Russia.

IIRC they're mostly based out of Moscow, but I imagine they have offices outside of Russia will probably take over most of the duties of collecting payment and continuing development in a diminished capacity. The main office likely won't be able to access that money (or manufacture anything physical to ship out).
