Update 18.3.2022: We posted this statement and raised the price in order to draw the attention of Russian players to our statement so they could see what is happening in Ukraine in their name. It worked. We received a lot of angry and grateful feedback both from Russians supporting and hating this war. Since then we have joined other studios and halted sales of Book of Demons in Russia and Belarus until further notice. Owners of the game will continue to be able to play it. Supporters will still receive all the content. Again, this is not an action aimed at Russian and Belarussian players, although it affects them. Taxes from sales of games on Steam go back to the country where the sale has taken place. This means that every sale of our game in those regions would be helping wage this war. You can read the original statement below. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/12639450/7fedaeb4f7ae2c579eeaa23ce6035e1ad5b343ec.png[/img] Here in Poland we still remember horrors of war from our grandparents' stories. Now we witness them at our doorstep. We support our neighbors from Ukraine in this dark time. Members of our team are privately driving to the border refugee camps every day and transporting mothers and children fleeing the war-ravaged country. It's all not enough. There is a river, an ocean of people crossing the border every minute. Often with nothing more than a child or a cat cradled in their arms. This madness is hurting innocents, mothers, fathers, and gamers like us. [b]First of all, for the next seven days we commit to donating all income from the sales of our game on PC to NGOs that take care of refugees. [/b] Furthermore, as a company, we would like to try and reach our Russian players and let them know what is really happening in Ukraine. [b]We are raising the price of Book of Demons over 10x to 6666 Rubles for the Russian region[/b]. This price change is a temporary measure to bring attention to this statement. Eventually, [b]the price will return to normal levels[/b]. This is a drastic measure, as we are aware that some of our greatest fans are from Russia, the country where love for the ARPG and the original Diablo is strong. Most of them probably are aghast with war crimes their government is committing on innocent Ukrainians. We know this might feel like punishment to some of them. Yet if this makes new players [b]check our post for an explanation[/b] and thus allows us to be heard and reach those who are not aware of what the Russian government is really doing, then [b]it will be worth it. [/b]We don't blame regular Russians, [b]we are all brothers and sisters[/b]. It is their government that is to blame. The price will remain increased until further notice. To our Ukrainian friends considering escaping the horrors of war: if you can risk getting to our border there are thousands of people from all over Poland waiting there to get you to safety. We have food, toys for kids, medical and legal aid. You will get driven to your friends or families all over Europe. If you have no one we will take care of you and build a new life for you. Thousands of families are offering their homes to refugees. You don't need a passport to cross the border, take your pets with you. Everyone is welcome.
