It's up to @Microsoft/@Xbox, @Sony/@PlayStation and @valvesoftware/@Steam to #banAtomicHeart in UA region at the very least

Official requests to ban selling Atomic Heart game. I do believe neither of these businesses support bloody regime, murders or romanticizing communism. Brand new level of Russian digital propaganda – using gaming industry.

Ukrainian Twitter community decided to dig into russo-cypriot game industry and we struck gold, russian natural resources, and bloody rubles. Thread about game funded by russian government and russian studio that decided to denazify themselves to sell games in Western countries

Mundfish apologizes for racist cartoon found in Atomic Heart, but still no word on "Easter Eggs" about russian invasion of Ukraine and genocide of Ukrainian people https://t.co/uBqedGVF7l

"I know one day this war will be over and Ukraine will be free, but I often wonder how most of us will heal from this past year, let alone what might come next"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"On a personal level what hurts the most about this year is knowing my daughter is still a child but seeing first-hand how much this changed her. She was 9 when this started but had to grow up a lot faster than she should have, and her view of the world has been forever changed"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"The winter has been difficult though. Starting in October, constant missiles and suicide drone attacks left us regularly without power and sometimes heating. These attacks would immediately jolt us out of any sense of peace or routine we'd tried to build."

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"Returning felt right. There was a genuine feeling of hope and resistance in the county as we all did what we could to get our lives back on track and help those who were defending us. We fixed up our home and settled back into life as best as we could"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"In August I decided to return to Kyiv. I missed home, I missed Alex. The situation had become clearer. And I wanted my daughter to go back to school in her own country. This war had already interrupted our lives so much that we were tired of the feeling everything was on pause"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"From May till July I would travel between Poland and Ukraine to see Alex for a few days each month. I would send parcels with supplies. I took part in my first solo art exhibition, helping bring attention to Ukraine. Anything to just keep doing something"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"The one silver lining of this horrendous war is it showed a lot of us how important family can be. So on April 20th, after being together for 4 years, Alex and I decided to officially get married in a small local court house of Lviv"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"Towards the end of April Alex was granted temporary leave and so we decided to meet up in the west of Ukraine, which was a bit safer”

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"A very clear reminder of this was how in March, an intercepted missile blew up in our neighbourhood. One person was killed, another six were injured. The windows in our apartment were blown out. The same apartment we were all huddled in just 2 weeks ago"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"And of course, I would try to speak to Alex as much as I could. It was always gut wrenching each time saying goodbye not knowing if this was my last conversation with him"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"In Poland we felt safe and welcome. There were even moments of temporary happiness as we were staying with my brother’s family so we weren't alone. But my heart and thoughts were almost continually on Ukraine. I’d scour the news every day to understand what was happening"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"During the two-day trip all around me I could see people who’d had to make similar choices. You could see it on their faces. Sheer emotional shellshock"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"So, on Feb 28th I made the hardest decision of my life. I would go to Poland so my daughter could be safe while Alex would stay. Half blinded from exhaustion and tears in my eyes, we said our goodbyes. That same day Alex went and enlisted into the Kyiv Territorial Defence Force"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"The next couple of hours are a bit of a blur to be honest. Scrambling to gather things, making plans along with backup plan after backup plan, all while trying to explain to my daughter what was happening"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"Alex however argued me and my daughter needed to leave the country. Nowhere in Ukraine was truly safe. He felt he wasn’t able to protect us in all of this and wouldn’t be able to live with himself if something ever happened to us"

[Frogwares @Frogwares]

"On day 4 I went out onto our balcony during an air raid (I don't know what compelled me to do this) and saw what looked like a rocket heading straight for our building. It eventually changed course and hit elsewhere. But that moment I realized we needed to leave the city"
