Giving money to Russia right now supports their horrible invasion and carpet bombing of civilians. It is not a "political issue" or whatever, it is an evil government supported by the majority of its populace engaging in war crimes which must be stopped. Giving them money is immoral right now.

Russian/Belarussian users aren't properly "banned" - they can still access their game libraries. They just can't purchase new items. That seems reasonable given the current situation (yes, many Russian/Belarussian citizens have been bravely protesting their dictatorial regimes - but they are far outnumbered by those who prefer to stay silent and compliant).

However anyone from Russia/Belarus with a GOG library had best ensure they have up-to-date backups of their offline installers now because (a) GOG's policy could toughen further and (b) Internet connectivity could be reduced or removed.Hopefully someone at GOG is planning a special "Help Ukraine" games bundle - that would certainly be an appropriate gesture.
