Every single game forum on steam has "Ukraine localization" topic. You would think there are 3 billion ukrainians.

It's especially infuriating when most of these faggots don't even buy the game when the devs decide to finally add their stupid language by checking the "has game" tag.

Russia is a huge market, even if many of them pirate, enough don't. And Russia isn't the only country that speaks Russian, notably. There's no "Uzbekistanese", or "Czechoslovakiaish". Even east European countries that DO have a language of their own, they often aren't large enough to justify having their own translation, and so go for a language they happen to also know, and the countries that merely include Russian in their set of common languages is even higher.

Or in short: The move to exclude Russian is for virtue signalling, the move to include it is for rational marketing strategy.

yeah, all of the regions russia "annexed" are 90%+ russian speaking. the next most commonly spoken language wasn't even ukrainian... it's tatar. this whole bullshit was entirely about geopolitical lines being drawn by bureaucrats that didn't match reality, while corrupt shitbags in government embezzled billions from US and EU taxpayers through the most corrupt country on the planet.

They are Russian speaking because they murdered any who resisted reeducation. Still, many local languages exist within Russia and former Soviet states.

Tartar as you note is a big one, but many people forget half of Russia is in Asia with Vladivostok a stones throw from Korea.

then why did globalists puke on elon when he suggested they just run a referendum by the UN?

these people culturally identify as russian, not as ukrainian. the globalists know damn well a referendum would shut this shit down... <1% of the population in these regions are ukrainian.

I certainly can't speak for everyone, by anecdotally every Russian male I know fled. Every Ukrainian guy I know (and some women) stayed to fight.

Then you no doubt have evidence that in the 1910s and before, the population of Donetsk and around spoke 'Ukrainian'?

The USSR in fact engaged in a policy of Ukrainianization. One of the many disasters inflicted on the Russian people by that failed political experiment.

It's all a question of how far you want to go back, but the Genesis of the slavic people was Ukraine.

Thought as much. Just found it funny they backpedalled within a few days that it became clear that they did do Russian localization but just held it of for a day to virtue signal
