I can just imagine these companies that pulled out seeing that they lose a money to piracy there since there's no legal methods to access new western content - when places like Steam stopped accepting Russian bank cards - and then use that as the reason piracy is killing everything.

Sorry, we had to close up shop because we weren't selling our product in another country and they had no other option but to be dirty pirates. It's their fault and not our fault they had no legal way to pay us for our product.
