Russia assures World of Tanks players they won’t end up in prison as it takes full control of the studio in charge of it domestically, accusing it of funnelling funds to Ukraine

Russia has come down hard on Lesta Games (via Meduza), the domestic company that inherited local rights to World of Tanks (or Mir Tankov, as it’s known locally) after its original dev, Wargaming, exited Belarus and Russia in protest of the latter’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
