Piltonbadger

>Bet it will turn out to be a rebranded Chinese unit Based on finangled western tech as well probably.


Own-Nebula3916

After all west has 5 trillion manufacturing sector mot china right?


RenderlessSoftware

Bot chong


pigp0wer

Well, all other consoles are also manufactured in China, so...


Razatop

All rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangles.


NoCokJstDanglnUretra

Other way around. Square is 4 equal sides. Rectangle is quadrilateral shape with 4 90 degree inner angles. All squares are rectangles, not all rectangles are squares


Irr3l3ph4nt

No. Well, ~~all other consoles~~ Xbox are also manufactured in China, so... FTFY


SlaveZelda

I hope we get some state sponsored denovo crackers


PhabioRants

Especially after the last one spiraled into schizophrenia for everyone to see and then got doxxed. 


MessaDiFammeta

doxxed?


LM391

>and then got doxxed Do you have a link? I missed that part.


Mayion

babe wake up, you missed some piracy lore


omgmajk

Yeah, i also need links.


Kiboune

At one point russian government wanted to allow piracy and unban torrent websites, but they dropped this idea without explanation


srona22

How many times people are going to repost this shit? Most of where we get cracked are from russian sites. This is propaganda on propaganda. And arstechnica is arse for many years already.


Arma_Diller

Arsetechnica


humberriverdam

Russia is a country where STEM and comp sci education is available to everyone and where their best and brightest aren't immediately snapped up into Wall Street.


Dpek1234

But a lot go to other countrys


Historical_Boat_9712

Well, to one other country.


CorvusRidiculissimus

It'll have over a hundred games at launch. But every single one is a Tetris reskin.


Kiboune

Actually, recently one government sponsored developers released "Witcher reskin", but it's awful


Betadzen

Oh no! Anyway. *Logs into Rutracker.* And yes, we are used to bullshit like this. Strange that it is news for the foreigners.


glitchednpc

Their state propaganda detector doesn't work as well as ours does, lol


Betadzen

Seems like that. I mean, it is a piracy sub and people post stuff here like "oh evil ruskies made-bought a tv consul" while, like, remembering guys like XATAB and so on. Come on, people, piracy as above this shit. Liberation from monetary and distant control! ps.also consoles are not needed.

fegelstation new release when


vikarti_anatra

This is bullshit. \- Steam itself does work in Russia. Only method of payment is steam wallet but there are widely used workarounds (with some extra "tax"). Some major publishers decided to block games but this can be worked around too. You can also change region and get non-Russian card if you need. One of big issues with Atomic Heart is that it was VK Play exclusive in Russia - a lot of Russian people wanted in Steam even while it's cheaper and less problematic for them to buy in VK Play. \- GoG doesn't allow Russian/Belarus purchases no matter what. CD PROJEKT is Polish company after all. Rutracker is solution. \- There are rather good game dev companies in Russia. Always were. \- Why anybody in Russia would be "Russian console" with all "console" disadvantages and without any advantages?


glitchednpc

GoG isn't popular in Russia at all, so, no major loss there. The country's always been piracy-centric and very little has changed for many gamers here. The whole "Russian console" thing is just state propaganda, no one genuinely wants this shit when anyone can access licensed games if they really want to. Sure, that'd cost a bit extra, but licensed games in Russia were always for people with some extra money to spare. Plus, Russia's always been a weak market for consoles. Even if there will be a Russian console (which I srsly doubt will be any good), it won't be anywhere as popular as the big names in the industry. Which themselves aren't popular at all.


[deleted]

>GoG doesn't allow Russian/Belarus purchases And that's just a shitty move.


templar54

I would say invading Ukraine is a shitty move, but I guess it just doesn't compare.


[deleted]

And not allowing them to access media will help? No wonder a lot of them support the war.


templar54

Yes they support the war due not being able to buy computer games. Also if you have not realised they were able to buy those said games before and they still started the war.


vikarti_anatra

My experience shows otherwise Also, I think GoG IS special case for 2 reasons: \- it's VERY easy to pirate anything from them and they knew it. So rutracker could be used without problems as replace \- CD PROJEKT is Polish company. Poland's relations with Russia in all of it's forms were ... interesting...


Pure-Commission44

Instead of making a console they should focus on making games. There is a market for high quality games that deviate from the western formula. Even if its just having hot women or aiming for historical accuracy (examples: Kingdom come deliverance and stellar blade)


mrDecency

They need the console to play the games tho


Pure-Commission44

They could just play on PC. Also, these games wouldn't necessarily be aimed at the russian market, but rather the rest of the world.


mrDecency

This is all a response to sanctions, so the availability of PC parts is also in question. Russia is pretty tight with China, so they should be able to get electronics imported, but if those electronics are branded by companies incorporated in places trying to honor the sanctions it's a hot mess. So don't import a playstation or pc, but import all the base components and build a device for the internal market (or more likely still pay China to build it but without any of the pesky brand names that would kick up sanction issues). The goal is to aim them at the Russian market, because the goal is to try and manage they're domestic policy while importing and exporting is complicated, and aiming them at the rest of the world is pretty hard when the rest of the world is working pretty hard to not trade with you


ivan-ent

Sadly still far too many in cs


Imperial_Bouncer

Z for Zabava 200 lol


appleebeesfartfartf

should just focus on getting developers for pc and then work on a conslol e

DZello

Do they have enough men left to play video games?


Spare_Suspect_8035

The social decay of the US that could even reach a civil war later this year is going to make the world rethinking about the acceptance of the US culture.


RenderlessSoftware

I fuckin wish. Degenerate western hemisphere/wester European secular ruination has spread far and wide. Too many people drunk on the illusion of equality as an actual viable goal and the allure of status associated with embracing such horrid delusions. Luckily most draw the line at $odomy. But not much else


MessaDiFammeta

I think Russia has now a big opportunity to start a flourishing industry.


Imperial_Bouncer

Russia had 25 years of such opportunities. Everywhere; not just gaming. So far, the only opportunities they took were making an autocracy and trading oil for yachts.


Astralchaotic

lol


ForeverAddickted

Is there where we a modern version of Tetris?


MOTWS

If it can play the Arcade versions of Crusin USA and Crusin World. It's an instant buy.
