    Damn…that’s f’n sad. Like it’s not bad enough having to live in a country at war for reasons you may not agree with.

    Nintendo of Russia has always been extremely mishandled anyways.

    Sad for the poor Russian citizens who aren’t a part of the Government’s nonsense.

    I wish more businesses had this much sense.

    Russia is the only country to give them an M rating because of LGBT nonsense so get out of there if you know what’s best

    “ The game company joins the list of companies that closed their services in the Russian country

    The current state of war between Russia and Ukraine caused numerous companies to cancel their services in the Russian country, and Nintendo has just joined that list definitively. According to information shared by the Game Developer, the Russian Nintendo Switch eShop will cease operating as of today, May 31, 2023, indefinitely.

    This means that Russian players will not be able to buy new games in the store, or redeem codes to access new content. However, they will be able to enjoy the content they have already purchased, downloading it as many times as necessary. Undoubtedly, a measure that will surely leave Russian fans quite sad.

    As a result of the economic outlook, Nintendo of Europe has decided to end the operations of its Russian subsidiary. As part of its efforts to fulfill the previous commitments to its customers in the Russian market, the Russian version of Nintendo eShop will offer a limited service.

    From May 31, 2023, and in the foreseeable future, Russian customers with an existing Nintendo account will be able to re-download digital content that they have previously purchased. It will not be possible to make new purchases or use download codes within the Nintendo eShop in Russia.

    Be that as it may, this is not an outstanding novelty. Since last year, Nintendo had already stopped sending products to the country, and because of this international conflict, games like the new Advance Wars had to be delayed for quite some time…”

    I feel bad. The people in Russia having to pay because of a war they never asked for is horrible. This isn‘t just about Nintendo games but everything is pretty much gone for them because of a war that most Russians don’t agree with.
