Steam also blocks perfectly legal games from their platform based on vague rules; famously they blocked VNs that had no adult content whatsoever using same rules as they use for adult content.

> Really ironic, since it was the woke people that forced deplatforming of everyone who was not on their woke side and demanded they be banned from work and online platforms.
And everyone should've just said "no, fuck you" back then, as they should now but the issue here is not even related to that problem.
If country deems something illegal, the store can't sell it. Valve is not arbitrator of the law and as long as they limit enforcement of russian law to russian store, all is fine.
If you want to be angry about something Valve does, be angry about them still operating in russia in the first place.
