Bullshit, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are EU countries, people bought HD2 and now can't legally play anymore. Steam has already issued refunds to some.

Cool that you think other human beings shouldn't be able to get content only because they were born in some arbitrary location on earth.

I'm very strongly against anything being sold in russia, with sold being the keyword. they should ideally be completely financially isolated

and well bans in countries like china are imposed by the country/govt itself rather than the developers/publishers
