Russia Moves to Regulate Video Game Distribution with New Legislation

Russia Moves to Regulate Video Game Distribution with New Legislation

Russian lawmakers have introduced a new legislative proposal aimed at regulating the distribution of video games across the country. This proposed law mandates that game publishers and digital storefronts provide clear information regarding the content of their games. However, the most significant aspect of the legislation is the requirement for user authentication, which would likely involve utilizing the state’s “Gosuslugi” online portal for verification.

Experts in the gaming industry suggest that this law is primarily aimed at foreign digital platforms that continue to operate within Russia’s borders. By enforcing these regulations, the government seeks to exert control over the gaming market and ensure that all purchases are compliant with state standards. The implications of this legislation could be profound, potentially leading to the decline of popular services like Steam and GOG, which may struggle to comply with the new requirements. As the situation develops, the gaming community is watching closely to see how these regulations will impact both consumers and publishers alike.
