    Time to start posting reviews with:

    • “This game is impossible to win!”
    • “I was told I could take Kyiv in 3 days. I’ve been playing for 1,190 days and I’m still not even close to Kyiv.”
    • “Why is my enemy using smart guided anti tank rockets and my soldiers are riding bicycles and wearing Adidas knock off sneakers into battle?”

    Who knows? Maybe the Russian military is out of tactical ideas and trying to crowdsource a military strategy from gamers to take Ukraine because they can’t do it themselves.

      “Blatant land and money grab with impossible grind. Offers pay 2 win, but even pay 2 win doesn’t get you through the grind. I’m selling all the oil I can for in-game currency and it’s not even making a dent. Huge rip off”

      “In a February 2022 blog post the dev team said they would release a new Kyiv map in 3 days, it hasn’t been mentioned ever since”

      When I got captured I was treated better as a POW than when I was treated by Russia.

      I don’t understand the goal of this game. Is it to loose as much friends as possible? Because that’s the only thing I’m good at.

      This game is not realistic at all. I can’t even rape and torture anyone, like I did at the front lines.

      How come there are modern weapons in this game but we have to use WW2 weapons in real life?

      I could go on and on…

    Politics aside, this is just Door Kickers with russian AI images all over. At least be creative when making propaganda.

      The last time a Russian had a cultural achievement that impressed the world they had a tsar. There is nothing worthwhile coming out of Russia anymore.

      I’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.

      It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev

        You’re not going to find a weapons maker with an unproblematic background (part of the problem with sourcing arms for your SRA meetup) but IMI certainly has a bad one.

        They’ve also got a number of totally iconic weapons though. Separate the art from the artist and all that.

          Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.

          That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies

    Back in 2018, Steam stated its approach to content on its platform was "to allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling".

    A social media account linked on Steam to the game’s developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine’s refusal to surrender will provide “a lot of content to make more missions in our game”.

    I’m pretty sure that qualifies.

    I am just surprised that it’s not being mass flagged. Very strange.

    The developer better avoid driving any cars lol

    Just going to install the game to leave a negative review because if anyone deserves a review bomb it’s this.

      Also, the soldiers are on crutches and there are side missions to loot toilets.

    This game probably sucks. But I do want to play a game where you get the full russian conscript experience. Cruel and incompetent leaders, squad mates you can’t communicate with because you don’t speak the same language, equipment that doesn’t work right or that you are not trained to use making bootleg alcohol that can make you go blind and a button that lets you commit suicide.

    I am sick of being special ops or some lame shit in every military game.
