A Russian games console? Russia has been making games forever and yet they often end over-cooking the graphics and under-cooking the gameplay (did anyone here finish Atomic Heart?), not to mention legions of bugs. Also, a lot of the Eastern European game development talent are in the countries Russia actively threatens and invades. Autocratic countries might see the value of games but their hubris is staggering!
Enjoyed this rather long but very informative piece [about flogging a (never-to-be) Russian console to Russian citizens 😁].
I wonder how many people on SS / in my (fledgling) audience are gamers and would appreciate me dropping random games in there? 🤔
Will do a repost of your work soon - keep it up!

Thanks for the informative write-up.
