Resources are always limited, so yea...i now we are playing a war game but in my opinien war is ****ing stupid. we life in 2022 and not in 1940 wtf.
Very good initiative.View attachment 198281
If this is true it may mean the end of Russian players in AoE2/4 scene. At least as long as Putin regime is in charge in Russia.

It's not about discriminating russian people, because we're against russians now. It's about making it as uncomfortable as possible to be russian while the war is going on. Because the russians themselves are in by far the best position to stop this war. But it's always way easier to just wait and do nothing and let others die - I'm german, I know our history and we've sadly shown how bad this can be.I do understand and respect the decision that the world is excluding Russia in sport/music events etc, but attacking individual russians that can´t be blamed for the war is just discrimination tbh...
You as as a german should now best that sanctioning a nation into oblivion is a great idea. Thats why we only had one World War so far. Oh wait..........It's not about discriminating russian people, because we're against russians now. It's about making it as uncomfortable as possible to be russian while the war is going on.

By excluding Russians from everything we make it as hard as possible for them to just wait and do nothing and let others suffer. I think it's incredibly sad that we are in this situation and it's incredibly sad that russians are discriminated, but I still think it's a very good option, because the only other two options coming to my mind are waiting, doing nothing and letting people die or starting World War 3 - I guess I prefer doing what we're doing.
And by the way - in general I absolutely dislike cancel culture, but I think in this case it might actually be the best thing to do.
Attacking the civilian population of Russia is not the way to go. Attack where it hurts Putin the most but attacking civilians will just make them more on Putin´s side because they are being mistreated...It's not about discriminating russian people, because we're against russians now.

What's your suggested solution?You as as a german should now best that sanctioning a nation into oblivion is a great idea. Thats why we only had one World War so far. Oh wait..........
What hurts Putin the most? I'd say noone in russia wanting to support his war.Attacking the civilian population of Russia is not the way to go. Attack where it hurts Putin the most but attacking civilians will just make them more on Putin´s side because they are being mistreated...
they can send it to Mr. Yo and he send it further to russia. Problem solved.No chance am I getting involved in whether we should or shouldn't morally. I would pose another question though, how would it work? How does Microsoft send a Russian player their prize money should they win some with all these sanctions?
Good point. Beside Russian players lets ban American players for their war crimes in the middle east too.People are being murdered by war crimes, but lets cry over those who will not be able to play the games.
Steam is American Platform. Xbox Game Pass and Twitch too. I'm fine if famous Russian platorms will ban American people for USA war crimes, but im afraid nobody will noticeGood point. Beside Russian players lets ban American players for their war crimes in the middle east too.
I completely agree with you. Most people in every country dont want war. #nocensorship #nowarimo we need to lift up russian sports / esports players and let their voices be heard. I see russian tennis athletes protesting for example. Most people I think are against war in every country, we need to make noise and drown out the minority of war mongers. War is how the powerless minority controls space and infrastructure by subjugating the population. Even if the athletes are pro-war then we get a global discussion where they get a different perspective that is not their direct propagandized media and they gain perspective. #nocensorship #nowar
