We may have found there a massive deterrent in the ongoing global campaign against Vladimir Poutine, and more broadly Russia, following the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine. Nintendo has just confirmed on the official website of Nintendo Russia what the Russian eShop from Nintendo Switch was “temporarily” under maintenance following the suspension of “ruble payment processing“. At this stage, it is not really known if it is a deliberate choice of Nintendo or if Nintendo simply can no longer process payments from Russia due to a blockage. However, since the start of the war in Ukraine, many more or less strong and/or symbolic initiatives have been put in place to isolate Russia or quite simply show its support for the Ukrainian people. As for video games, The Pokémon Company has made donations to humanitarian associations in favor of Ukraine and Microsoft has suspended sales of its products in Russia.
