    That’s how to cease operating in a country.

        Also, Valve with every other company should already have been ordered to stop operating in Russia by their respective countries.

        Do it’s not as simple as about backbone. I agree that ethics are a good reason to stop doing business with an individual but if a company like Valve were to pull out of every country based on ethical matters, they’d need to found their own country.
