With Atomic Heart there was a genuine fear that the CONTENT of the game itself and therefore the people who made game(the developers) were pushing Russian propaganda.

If this guy is going to criticise a game based on where it's made I hope nobody tells him about about this country called The USA. You may not have heard about them but they've been up to some shady shit. In fact they've got a pretty bad reputation with basically the entire world.

I'm really starting to get sick of this year's current trend of "gamers" (more likely Twitter users) who take some arbitrary thing about a game as an excuse to assume the game has malicious intentions (instead of it just trying to be a video game) and try to spread a boycott of the product. First was people accusing the Dead Space Remake of being "overly woke" just because they added a trans symbol to the corner of the bathroom sign. Currently, there are people claiming people who buy Hogwarts are transphobic (instead of people buying it just because they like Harry Potter and wanna play as a wizard) just because JK Rowling made the series (even though I don't know if she even had any involvement in the game's production). And now you got this crap with Atomic Heart. I know we've seen many games, movies, and shows hand force and misrepresent political/diversity themes and statements (ex: Velma, the new Saints row, etc) and many are just desensitized at this point, but now it feels like now that some actually good games are coming out, people are just looking for any kind of controversy because we're used to expecting it as much as we're used to expecting games to come out buggy or incomplete.

"Don't be racist" but also "Don't buy games from this ethnic group I don't like" Too bad for this hombre, reverse psychology is a thing. Tell people "don't you dare buy Hogwarts Legacy!" and guess what they do? Same with this.

Every russian civilian pays taxes. Their VAT is 20%, so every time they spend 10 bucks for grocerries they pay 2$ in taxes. A cost of a single AK bullet is 50 cents, so for every 10 dollars a russian citizen spends in russia, they are buyin 4 bullets that kill 4 Ukrainians. And every time you support russian businesses - so do you.

I'm shocked at the hypocrisy. You speak as if publishers from other countries are independent of politics. It's amazing when other companies give way to the government for many years, but as soon as one Russian game appeared, everyone started to go crazy. You are funny

I watched Transformers and therefore funded directly the Pentagon. I'm already a war criminal.

For sure ensured yourself a new sub dude, the moment I finished Harenko's video I went "well yeah, it was pretty well made, but overall gloss's over so much." so I'm really glad you represented that into a youtube video. Great job man

Thanks for posting this video. You have a better answer than I did to his video in the comment section. The charity thing was a weird one because the money was meant to purchase entertainment. I get supporting the movement to find homes for refugees but to have this in the video is over the top. Anyway I hope this video gets a lot more traction so that people have access to counter arguments.

That smug air Harenko has about him while trying to convince you to not buy a product that looks like a good game, is so funny. I will buy this game because it looks like a good game wich is the only reason you need to buy a game. Also sexy russian robot waifus

I think we should report this Harenko guy's video.

9:42 comments are now praising him for his “marketing tactic” It’s amazing

According to “Can one rotten apple really spoil the whole barrel?” it states, “Because once an apple is rotten or has physical damage, (ie a bruise), it produces ethylene, which in turn leads to a slightly increased internal temperature causing a breakdown of chlorophyll and the synthesis of other pigments. The starch in the fruit is converted to simple sugars and at the same time, pectin, a component of fiber that cements the cell walls together, begins to disintegrate thereby softening the tissue. Once this happens, it starts a chain reaction, stimulating the process in other apples.” (Joe Schwarcz PHD p 1).

I've never heard of the game, until I saw the video by Harenko telling me not to buy it, his whole video having the opposite effect, the game looks intriguing, but it's 2023 so we all know what games nowadays are like, so if I ever get it it'll be a few months and on sale.

Wasn't this game in development for awhile before the war between Ukraine and Russia? Because I don't think the guy making this game is saying "soviet Russia is better" or anything like that. Plus I'm pretty sure if the maker of Atomic heart were to saying anything bad to the Russian government then who knows what'll happen to him. Even though he made some good points but the way he did it was pretty bad. I did want to hear the guy out but I stopped half way.

What's happening with Hogwart's and Atomic Hart boycotters is the equivalent of burning a house to the ground to kill fly. Realistically the amount of money going to Russia's war effort from Atomic Heart purchases is so insignificant all things considered like continents relying on Russian state owned gas that it's unfair to punish Russian developers for wanting to sell a game they've been working on for many years. Same with Hogwarts, JK makes so much money of so many different deals that punishing the Hogwarts studio hard working developers isn't worth it in my book. Not to mention that it's not fair to the art itself. I mean Hogwarts Legacy is an amazing game, you play it and can tell the developers poured a lot of love and passion into it only for a group of people who hate JK to want to try and burn it all to the ground. I'll take a leap here and say most Russians don't like this war, I mean how could they but they are slaves to their circumstance as many of us are. We all want to live a normal life, make a comfortable living and be with our families. These developers are trying to do the same and are forced to have to navigate through all the baggage that comes with nations being at war. These are complex issues that aren't that black and white.

I don't think that the livelihoods of Russian game developers and those associated with them should be attacked and damaged because of where they're from. If I can help to undo some of that damage I will. It's really great to see so many people reject these misguided and nonsensical takes. It continues to astonish me how little self awareness these woke types of people have. Beneath their misguided activism/virtue signalling are deeply flawed and hypocritical people.

As a guy that plays a LOT of destiny and views their content creators I’m not shocked I didn’t hear about him before.

OH MY GOD YES! You put all my problems with that bloody video into words. Good on ya mate! Praise the Omnissiah!

Totally agree with what you’ve said here. Great video

Imagine spending years on a unique looking game, pouring love and passion into this project Then a bunch of entitled Westerners hiding safely behind Twitter make it political, demanding you who actually live in Russia to openly condemn your government, which is basically asking you to commit suicide. Kinda racist don't you think? Of all the developers and companies, they only demanded Mundfish to make a statement just because they're Russians And after you made a pro-peace statement, they're upset you didn't say "fuck Putin and this war", so they dig into things, demanding you to disclose your investor's information, as well as questioning how dare your game collects user data, despite in the term it clearly stated it's only "possible " those data will be transfered to tax office and FSB only

Great video, very logical and methodical breakdown with clearly defined points, very well done 👍

That dinner looked so fun, they had cosplayers and everything, it looked so cool.

NOTICE: Not saying names here but a developer did express they (and an unspecified number of other crew members) are against the war in Ukraine. This isn't BSG, whose leader openly supports Putin's wrath, this is a company that popped up out of nowhere. They're just people, creating a game from their vision of an alternate reality. Buying their game isn't funding the war machine.

Harenko is secretly a dev for Disco Elysium.

But doesn't European Countries also buying Oil from Russia...

I really dislike the original video.. When I express my joy for this game, I get comments saying I am supporting Russian invasion.. I mean, what?

It's a game, I'm gonna buy it and play it? It looks good it looks fun, I don't care who made it or what, if I like a game and it looks fun to play I'm going to buy it.

When I first saw Harenko's video, I was actually really convinced with the whole idea of it being Russian propaganda. However when I saw gameplay along with your video, I realize that my thought process was incredibly idiotic. Thank you for showing me my own Idiocracy.
