[hoshin0119]

This game has disappeared from Steam. It is not displayed in the search by name. It remains in the library

"An error occurred while processing your request:

Which country are you from? It seems like the game is blocked in your country.

Maybe Russia, hmm, probably need to check the developer's discord.

Maybe Russia

True. But before that everything was fine, and then literally before our eyes the game disappeared from the Steam store

Why only now? If the game appeared on Steam a long time ago

Two options.
1) The developer himself banned the game in the region (which is unlikely).
2) Roskomnadzor banned the game because of LGBT.

The game has Russian language, but now the game will not be displayed for users from the Russian Federation) I'm shocked

2) Roskomnadzor banned the game because of LGBT.

Roskomnadzor is interfering where it shouldn't. It's more destructive than useful. Horrible. I'm very upset!

If the Episode 5 update comes, will the patch be added to the blocked game in Steam in the library?

Ideally, if the game is purchased, the update should come.

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.

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.

Understatement of the century right there.

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.
