Not selling the game in Russia would have much more of an affect.

E...A...Sports......it's not in the game.
It’s right, it’s cancel culture
Same principle as Mason Greenwood being cut out of Football Manager and FIFA. EA, just like SI, don’t want their brand associated with Russian football right now.
Edit: … and just like that, Sports Interactive to do the same with Football Manager.
I think you're adding yuan plus yuan and getting five.
Not saying something like this will happen but one way or another China would probably would be the worlds leading economy after all this finishes.
Is your portfolio allocated as such?
How so? Do you disagree with their decision?
As an example, if you want high availability, multi-data centre implementation of Swift, you are talking hardware security module, messaging interface, communications interface, jump server etc that all needs to be replicated on different sites. You then need to load balance that. For security, that needs to be on isolated dedicated hardware in a secure-zone. Data centre kit is not cheap.
You've then got to put the monitoring, anti-fraud (That alone is 7 figures over multiple years for licenses for us before you even start buying servers for it) etc in on top. You then need to test it all. Heck in my world the annual security test of our Swift implementation is typically a week engagement, that's £6-8k to get a 3rd party to come in.
That's just Swift on its own. It's not as simple as throwing some servers in the corner, throwing some software on and you're off to the races. I wish it was.
Haha, you can PM and I will confirm or deny! I'm not saying it would be a billion for the record, that was about the only thing I could compare it to, but it would be very expensive.

Mostly diversified, but yes it has China assets. Waiting for ByteDance to go public probably this or the beginning of next year. Needless to say I've pulled out all Russian assets end of last year.
TBH, Mason Greenwood got the axe after his alleged crimes became public knowledge some time earlier. They don't want to feck around with anything or anyone providing a bad image.
Come on now
Justified, fair play EA and SI.
So Ukraine was right all along when it came to number of casualties. Russia is of course lying, they had 2 deaths till yesterday.
Fair enough. Yeah, Tiktok has seemed to have the staying power that Snapchat didn't.
Sorry, enough about the off-topic.
Some interesting countries in the abstention vote. Curious to know why certain African, Arab and Middle eastern countries voted with the west and others don't.
There is a first broadcast on YouTube involving body language experts analyzing the recent behavior of Vladimir Putin around the Russia Ukraine invasion right now. The Behavior Panel is a group made up of the world's top 4 body language and behavior experts: Scott Rouse, Mark Bowden, Chase Hughes, and Greg Hartley.
They will have to sail back home
Got it. Thanks.
Nightwatch spotted flying over Nebraska...
I think you misunderstood me, I wasn't saying China has the strongest economy. I was mentioning how China may think twice about wanting to put a toll on the current economy by joining forces with Russia seeing as it's the country that has had the most growth in the same economy.
They have flown it quite a few times over last weeks haven’t they?
Pretending Russia doesn't exist isn't going to stop a tank column approaching Kiev.
I guess it's reasonable. Tacamo is probably flying 24/7 now.
Quote impossible currently wouldn’t you say?
Show of strength. Still gives you goosebumps when you think where we are right now.
Exactly so why remove them from computer games. It's just so every company can have it's 30 seconds of fame jumping on the bandwagon.
Every little bit helps. Maybe.
And they're based in Nebraska, so presumably is the place they're most commonly flying.

Wtf Eritrea??
With him virtually cutting off any communication channels in mother Russia he could easily go back now, tell them they have denazified the country and mission is done. Just do that.
Disagree. Whilst it may seem minor, the more Russia is simply cut out of the modern world, the better (until Putin and his style of authoritarianism is gone). Once Russia has become civilized, they can rejoin civilization.
Russia and Eritrea are apparently tight after Russia invested in some sort of logistics center in the country.
