This is a very simple question. We developers make games for people. For them to play and have a good time. For us, as writers, it is very important to give people emotions, to let them experience memorable experiences, to go through amazing stories. We only want this. So that as many people as possible experience these stories, so that they like them. And this is our main motivation.
When I make games, I never think about the market. What market is it for, what people are it for, what is the agenda in the world right now… We don’t even discuss it.
We discuss how to make something memorable. How to give the players those amazing emotions, special moments. I was at that E3 when Keanu Reeves showed up. Goosebumps running down the skin of all the people at the exhibition – I felt it myself! This is what we want to give people. A feeling, a strong feeling of something beautiful. And this applies to all players, it’s the same for everyone. And, including, for players from Russia.
