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.

Can't remember the game but it had a "we aren't including Russian localization" then one of the 1st patches "we are now including Russian localization"
Which I could remember which game it was since I found it funny at the time
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.
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
