There's been a Russian youth uprising, with tens of thousands of kids writing to say they want to emigrate because Roblox has been blocked.

This is the reason why all games should straith up ban players from russia.

We don't want to play with them, 95% of interactions I ever hard with them online were toxic (judging by DotA, CS and Arc Raiders), and it would be a sanction that'd apparently work.

I honestly don't remember russians being any worse than other nationalities. CS players are just toxic in general and then the non russians are also often racist against russians so the permaflamewar is unsurprising. It doesn't help that many don't speak a word of english ofc.

Though the lack of english does seem to often lead to russian subcommunities that are just constantly hostile to the english speaking community and vice versa.

You're probably right that it would work quite well though, bread and games and all that. Take away the games and well...

I am fluent in Russian. I say that many players, regardless of nationality, in most online and competetive games are toxic. But I just refuse to play with russians. I had a LoL account in EU west, EU north east and russian severs. Russians were always the most annoying ones to play with, right after polish. I would leave the game if I ever stumble upon L4D2 russian lobby. Fuck them on CS too. Dota2 needs no detailed description imo.

I did found some good russian friends though online back in the day. But I also had all the worst gaming experiences playing with russian randos.

Worms Armageddon and Teeworlds would have no players.

Pretty much everyone I find in those games are russians. And it's not in low ping in Europe servers either, in high ping servers you just find Russians from the other side.
