As sanctions continue to take a toll on the Russian economy, companies such as PlayStation and Nintendo joined by stopping product sales in the country. Game development companies, such as Behavior Interactive, have also announced the suspension of sales of games in Russia. The situation between Russia and Ukraine has brought about a bevy of sanctions against Russia and its government officials in the last couple of weeks. It has led to Russian Oligarchs trying to hide their million dollar yachts in an attempt to avoid them from being seized. As the conflict continues, more and more companies are expressing their concern and hopes for a peaceful resolution. As they express their hope, however, many are also stopping sales in Russia. PlayStation issued a statement on Twitter yesterday calling for peace in Ukraine. It also stated that it would be suspending all software and hardware shipments to Russia, as well as ceasing operations of the PlayStation Store in the country.
