    why even bother? CDPR seized selling its stuff in Russia and Belarus so fuck’em and their feelings until this war is over.

    And just to make it clear, I dont have a problem with russians or belarussians in general but very much with their countries and their current world conquering goals. Therefor I don’t see any problems in portraying these countries as the baddies they are…

    In case you missed it, the Ukrainian script and menu localisation currently includes a number of antagonistic references to Russians and to the on-going Russian invasion of Ukraine. One dialogue line refers to a particular bandit group as “rusnia”, and there’s photo mode menu text for a squatting character that translates as “like a Russian”. There’s also lore text that apparently riffs on Ukrainian government rhetoric during the war, and a piece of in-game wallart that alludes to the dispute between Ukraine and Russia over Crimea.

    “I’d like to clarify re. the corrections to the Ukrainian localization. They refer to the lines where the translation lost its original meaning, including certain references to the Russian-Ukrainian war. Our support to Ukraine remains unchanged, but we prefer to show it through positive actions.”
