Russian videogame market in 2018 (stats only for consoles, excluding PC and mobile)

[Marcus Brutalius]

Well, in Russia videogame buys you. So I wonder what those numbers look like.

I knew QD is popular there but not this big.

 

[Tetrinski]

Russia is a huge market in PC, not only because it's large but because it encompasses a greater percentage of the total than in most countries. For instance, Microsoft made a specific Halo PC game only for Russia. How many more markets could receive something like that exclusively?

I wonder if Russia will ban TLOU2 for having a gay protagonist. I don't know their censorship laws or if they recently changed their policies, but they do have a tendency of declaring any LGBT visibility as "propaganda"

The law is against public broadcasting, they don't care what you play/watch in the privacy of your home.
