Does this mean a vast influx of hard Russian currency to Interplay?
Kharn said:The Russian situation is different because of the lack of civil intellectual property laws. In other words, it's more a problem on a governmental level than on individual morality.
But understand that this is a Western site on a gaming network. For us the situation is a lot more black and white, and piracy is a simple crime with little to no excuses for it.
It's a pity that Russia, probably the biggest Fallout country after the USA, is so crippled through illegality, fanwise. Don't expect Bethesda to even care slightly about Russian fans as far as sales are concerned. Nobody ever cares about Russian sales; there are none.

This means that the entire Russian populace must tighten their belts for a government's economic policy. Were things different I might look down more on Russian piracy, but at the moment they could really use a break. The last 17 years have been hard.
