What's the alternative? They have to obey the law, right? What should they have done? How is this "bowing to Kremlin" as if they're kneeling, waiting to suck their dick or something.

Genuinely curious about these questions.

    The alternative is to stop doing business with Russia.

    They can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.

    They chose the problem.

    The alternative is to stop doing business in places where laws are being used to restrict the games available.

    Don't get me wrong, fuck the russian government and the horse they rode in on, but unless you have a defend-able reason that russia should be singled out in this context your argument is emotional rhetoric and little else.

    You could perhaps narrow that down to a subset of applicable laws, but i'd lay good money that any group/type of laws you pick are not go only contain russia and still be able to be considered a reasonable argument.

    Incorrect. You are completely ignoring what those restrictions are.

    I detailed my thoughts and arguments, feel free to address those directly.

    if you want to ignore most of the reply to argue against a stance i wasn't taking there's not much of a conversation to be had here.
