A shame that Valve after all this time has yet to leave the Russian market given how many other companies took their losses and left, albeit most of them only doing so to avoid negative reputational impact.

Edit: I'm not against the wellbeing of peaceful Russian citizens who don't have a say in the crimes that their government and military commit, but as every product sold in Russia directly supports its government via sales tax revenue, each company that continues to operate there makes it easier for the Russian government to find a surplus in its budget for military spending.

The steam deck isn't on sale on Russia

Steam games are though, which generates far more revenue than Steam Deck sales alone.
