An old comic that feels oh so relevant in this tumultuous election year.

Yeah, put "online" in the basket of freelance work and expand it to company level, and you'd be about right.

Quite a few games are indeed Russian - Escape from Tarkov, Atomic Heart, Crossout are examples off the top of my head that were international bangers. But they all had to build sophisticated systems to let the money flow, and often had to make separate affiliates. This does hurt game devs a lot in the process, and make a lot of groups NOT go into those waters.

yeah that sounds about right, thanks for the input.
