Seven out of ten video gamers said they'd pirated at least one game in 2022, with 51% admitting that they pirated more in the last year than they did previously.
I can just imagine these companies that pulled out seeing that they lose a money to piracy there since there’s no legal methods to access new western content - when places like Steam stopped accepting Russian bank cards - and then use that as the reason piracy is killing everything.
