In the situation in Ukraine, the games are not the most important thing, but they certainly have some impact on society.
All international sanctions and restrictions imposed by private companies are to have an impact on Russia and its society.
In all this, the games are not the most important thing, but they can still reach many people who live in a country ruled by Putin. Therefore, it is not surprising that many companies, such as Microsoft, Blizzard, or CD Projekt RED, have introduced their restrictions. Now Sony has joined this group.
Sony is also calling for peace in Ukraine by suspending all sales in Russia
On June 9, Sony announced it was suspending its sales in Russia and would no longer be bringing new PlayStation products to the country, both digitally and physically. In addition, the brand wants to get involved in helping Ukraine and will provide its contribution to a humanitarian fund for the victims of the war.
This decision was made one week after the release of the base version of the PlayStation series, Gran Turismo 7, and moments before the release of the GTA 5 update for next-gen devices.
