Will GOG be continuing to sell games made by any game developers from/based in Belarus or Russia?
Hopefully, as The friends of Ringo Ishikawa for instance is one of the best (and most overlooked) games on GOG.
Good question.

That really was one of the worse side scrolling beat em ups I have played in a long time. From my memoires I gave it 1/10.

Woah, that's super weird. I completed this game 100% like 12 times because i like it so much. I find it fascinating though how different our tastes are.

Yep, nothing worked for me. If your interested in side scroller beat em ups there are these:

They are ok.
Can't say I have seen many good ones though, I have fist puncher here, that could have been better, and I played Dead Island Retro Revenge recently - avoid that, it is 3 channels you go up down and punch at certain times, not good. If you have any other suggestions (played River City ones, on the fence about those, Streets Of Rage 4 was ok.
Edit, that new Obelix one is also pretty bad, nice graphics, but repeats over an over, and no real skill.

I understand that GOG put sanctions on Russia. It's a shame, it really is absolutely deplorable what GOG does. Joining the sanctions train shows how low this company has fallen. I always supported the company, despite the shit they did with everything related to Cyberpunk, but this is already hitting rock bottom. Can you imagine that GOG would have done the same with the US every time they carry out a war, invasion or massacre? The company will never do it, it only does it with Russia, why? Because obviously this is not a video game company, it's just another mediocre political apparatus with double standards. GOG, you've really hit rock bottom. Banning any Dimitri who is just sitting in his house without even wanting to get into the war would surely end the war, wouldn't it? Pathetic
More of a question in regards to the corresponding publisher of the developer in question, I think?
As the sales revenues usually go to the publisher, not the developer.

Owlcat Studios (of Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous fame), for instance, are based in Moscow and are published by Prime Matter (subsidiary of Koch Media, Germany) and META (Cyprus), respectively, so one would assume in these cases the temporary suspension of sales is not going to be applied.

Splendid answer.

US developers are still here despite a hundred wars, so I should think so. But then double standards is a thing, so there is that.

Yes why not.
Russia made Metro franchise. Great games with no identity politics agenda or woke crap.


USA invaded Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, raped countless little girls in Vietnam.
But you don't care about that do you ?

Russia made what now? Metro games are made by Ukrainian developer. They are based on a book written by a Russian writer, who btw has said this about the current war

“This is a fratricidal, predatory war, unleashed by an insane tyrant. We are sorry, Ukraine!” wrote Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky -- https://slate.com/technology/2022/02/liberals-russia-ukraine-war-social-media-protests.html

That's the joke. They're saying Russia owns Ukraine.
Well those are the benefits of online stores. they are convenient, but nothing beats a physical copy of a game, regardless what is going on in the world-

Just about. There are plenty of Putin apologists out there, unfortunately.

As for this game, I'm not sure GOG will even be able to pay yeo. It seems Friends of Ringo Ishikawa is self-published here.
