Russian lawmakers recently drafted legislation that would federally regulate the distribution of video games. The proposed law requires game publishers and digital stores to inform buyers about the content of games, but more importantly, it would mandate user authentication (for example, via the state’s “Gosuslugi” online portal). Industry experts say the law will primarily target foreign digital stores that continue to operate in the country. Meduza explains Russian lawmakers’ scheme to establish control over the gaming world.
