[QUOTE="Ratskinner, post: 7766399, member: 6688937"] I just want to say that this doesn't constitute what I would call "Censorship". The Chechen or Russian government doesn't have the power/jurisdiction to impose censorship on the company (at least outside their own markets), nor do any of the private opposition actors in the West. The company produced a product, the product caused a problem, the company chose to remove the product and apologize rather than further aggravate the PR situation. That's not censorship (and self-censorship isn't really the same thing.) Its just a PR screwup and the company paying the price for it. Nobody at paradox will be imprisoned or "disappeared" over this and no morality officers will be confiscating the books. Will it cost them money and possibly a few jobs? Sure, that's why its a screwup. I'll leave arguing the moral details of what they did or didn't do to others. I haven't read the text, nor am I familiar enough with whatever nightmare is going on in Chechnya to meaningfully comment on that aspect of the topic. Carry on...at least until the thread is locked.
