Why only now? If the game appeared on Steam a long time agoIt seems like the game is blocked in your country.

Two options.True. But before that everything was fine, and then literally before our eyes the game disappeared from the Steam store
Roskomnadzor is interfering where it shouldn't. It's more destructive than useful. Horrible. I'm very upset!2) Roskomnadzor banned the game because of LGBT.
Ideally, if the game is purchased, the update should come.If the Episode 5 update comes, will the patch be added to the blocked game in Steam in the library?

Yea it sucks for russian players but it's not surprising. The russian government is not known for being very acceptable of the LGBT community.View attachment 4855228
Hello friends, I'm afraid that, as of around 2 hours ago, the Steam version of Having a HARD Time has been made unavailable to all Russian players, as Roskomnadzor found the game to be in violation of Russian requirements. I'm currently in talks with Steam support to see if I can somehow alleviate this issue, and I'll let you know when I have news. They didn't specify a reason, but I'm afraid it has to do with the LGBTQ+ themes of my game, which as you know are quite a central part of the game and is not something that I can simply remove for a specific region. It does sadden me, as the game has a fairly large Russian fanbase, and it would be a shame if Russian fans couldn't play the game on Steam anymore. For now we'll have to wait until there is more information available.
Understatement of the century right there.Yea it sucks for russian players but it's not surprising. The russian government is not known for being very acceptable of the LGBT community.
You would think that after 3 years of war they would be focused on ending hostilities, not on whether a game has LGBTQ+ content, but it is clear where their priorities lie.
That other goverment departure that's checking content in the InternetYou would think that after 3 years of war they would be focused on ending hostilities, not on whether a game has LGBTQ+ content, but it is clear where their priorities lie.
Yes indeedwe need more mariane!!!!
Well, if the developer wrote it that way, it turns out that the patch can't come to a blocked game, although it's strange, the game is in the library. In fact, if the update comes, it should come to all copiesView attachment 4855228

But still, in Russia you can buy games like Being a DIK, FreshWomen, and Treasure of Nadia on Steam, right?View attachment 4855228

In these games the relationship is between a man and a woman. But lesbians and gays are not allowed in the Russian Federation.But still, in Russia you can buy games like Being a DIK, FreshWomen, and Treasure of Nadia on Steam, right?
Doesn't BAΔ have a trans character that Russians also have a problem with? Last I heard, that was one of the problems Alishia from the Red Room was concerned aboutIn these games the relationship is between a man and a woman. But lesbians and gays are not allowed in the Russian Federation.
Well, at least the game isn't banned on Steam and is displayed in the store.Doesn't BAΔ have a trans character that Russians also have a problem with?
Being a Dik has a character that identifies as nonbinary, but the game exclusively uses them as a punchline.Doesn't BAΔ have a trans character that Russians also have a problem with? Last I heard, that was one of the problems Alishia from the Red Room was concerned about
There is also a lesbian relationship between 2 main characters (Josy and Maya), just not the MC since he's a male. Either the russian censorship guys don't know about it or it's ok for them (doubt it though)Being a Dik has a character that identifies as nonbinary, but the game exclusively uses them as a punchline.
