      This is just a theory/rumor (and partially a cope) but some people have floated the idea that this might not even be produced in Russia, and the overbearing Russian/Soviet symbolism is to throw off Nintendo and hide where it’s really being produced.

      Afaik there’s no evidence to substantiate this, but if it were to be true, that would be hilarious.

        Russians citizen are not equal to Russian government. They are just people.

        I know. I love Russians. I wish Oleg Strizhenov, Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn, Anna Melikian, and the gals from Pussy Riot all the best. May their government cease being made up of Mafiya members The West recognized in the early 90s as soon as possible.

        I objected to the device being produced in (and hence paying taxes to) The Russian Federation, not being made by Russians.

        I love Russians.

          You sure don’t support them enough for how much you speak of how you love them.

          Or maybe you mean you love , like love, them?

              If the shoe fits…

              But yes, really, you are doing a lot of grandstanding on how you love Russians, apparently so much that you’d leave them to rot just because they have to interact with their own society in order to subsist.

              Just like, you know, everyone else.

          Every government is partially founded by taxes, are you suggesting we should avoid economical transactions with every citizen of a state you disapprove? Or is it just a Russian thing?

            Over the table, yes I am.

            I would like to provide as little funding toward the expansion of territory in which transitioning gender presentation is a crime as possible.

              I don’t disagree with that principle. I disagree with the idea that “buy something from a company that will eventually pay some taxes to a country” can be considered “provide funding” to that country government.

                You don’t think money going to a country …is money …which goes to that country?

                If I bought something for €40 off some guy who pays their nation 2.5% tax on the transaction is that €1 paid not a Euro the nation would not have had I declined to make the purchase?

                  Come on, you understand what I mean. I’m just saying that I personally feel wrong to drow the line at that when looking for boycotting criteria.

                  I despise lots of government and I refuse to support, partake and work in anything involved directly with such government or strongly affiliated company. I think it’s important to remember than people are not their government and that especially citizens of bad government need to see this kind of comprehension.

                  It’s ok if you disagree, it’s a complicated matter. Noone know the one true truth.

                    I don’t. I don’t support what the Russian government is doing and I want to provide a little funding towards the endeavors of which I do not approve as possible.

                    An amount that is not ₽0 would appear to enter Russian coffers if I buy this product, and it is possible to provide “< not 0” by not buying it.

                    people are not their government

                    Which is why I wouldn’t have a moral problem with buying this product if I knew for a fact the producers were cheating on their taxes.

      I have the feeling it’s just a “cover my ass” situation, in this way when they receive legal requests they can redirect them to the trash can

      While it’s possible that it’s developed in Russia because there are so many smart devs and engineers, it would be stupid to actually make the product in a country without the supply chain and they would need to smuggle everything from abroad and back for shipping to the rest of the world. And getting payments from the distributors

      IMHO it’s actually made in an unnamed Chinese factory and in Russia there’s just a shell company (if at all)
