Putin Wants Russia to Make Its Own Consoles and Steam-Like Platform
Vladimir Putin has signed on a plan to organize the production of game consoles and a Steam-like platform to distribute games in Russia.
Ah yes consoles 😉 and not missile guidance hardware disguised as consoles. Bet China asked them to do this, so Chinese consumer electronics manufactures can supply war machines to Russia without risking to get completely shutout of the US and EU market.
He wants that CS2 money
There's warmongering despot money and then there's TF2 hats money...
TBH that explains a lot. Kyiv is pretty much B if you look at the map of Ukraine. And the reason the Russians couldn't properly rush it is because they didn't have enough P90s.
Wouldn't Wario fit better?
The Dendy is making a comeback, boys!

"And it can play all the games at 144fps in 4k?"
"Da."
"Now where is the mechanism that brainwashes the user to hate capitalism?"
"That's in the game. You see, Vlad, we put special hats in the game and the only way to obtain them is by buying keys to unlock boxes that only give you a small, random chance at getting the hat you want."
"Da... Da... This pleases me."
Huh… I always thought Stalin was the most Mario-looking dictator.
I regret go inform you that Russia already runs it’s own Steam. It just has thousands of contributors and doesn’t make any money. Even Steam has trouble competing with it!
That's not how it works.
They'll make a bootleg SNES called the Super FamiComrade
Only the highest of priorities for this guy!
And all the games will be about conquering the world for Glorious Mother Russia.
Remember that ridicoulus clicker game called slav armada? The whole point was to slav - ifiy the whole world. You could also slavify motherland, by the power of vodka. It's been ages I haven't played it...
Varoufakis seems to have a point about cloudalism...
And run those games on washing machine cpus?
How CCP of them.
Back to the soviet union, or medieval age where globalisation and freedom are not existent.
Can't he save himself some time and buy a fail platform and force people to use it?
Same outcome 100%
Stadia: I make comeback?
Good, Russia don't deserve anything from the west besides the mushroom treatment: Kept in the dark and fed shit.
I mean... an alternative OS? It seems to me like the only realistic options to hit the ground running are Linux and maybe, maybe BSD? They could of course roll their own entire kernel and OS from the ground up, but let's be honest, not even China is doing that and that have way more money.
They probably already have something linux based and will start off of that. Hardware-wise, I bet Huawei or some other Chinese chipmaker is most likely to be targeted, if the only Russian chipmaker went bankrupt last year.
In any case, if they dump money into this distraction instead of the war, it's welcome. And of course, if Russia goes full Linux, that would be quite big, but that's probably not happening for another decade or more.
