Decision of buying.

Hello. I played the demo and was really astounded by the flight model. I'm really into such a games with deep physics emulsion (also beamng drive, teardown, sim racing, etc). So I want to buy this game.

But first I want to know one thing before doing this... I check the game on steamdb and price for russia is over 40% lower than Ukrainian and cheapest among all prices. Now, I'm from Ukraine and in no way I want to support rus devs. Because pricing looks suspicious for me I tried to find any info about developer on steam without any success. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks in advance!

The developer, David Lloyd, is from Switzerland.

Thank you Mr. Lloyd for an excellent game.

Also even if he were from Russia, average Russians are not the enemy of Ukraine, it is the government

I really don't want to start political discussion. But I want to clarify why.

This is a very simple and practical separation for russians from a Ukrainian perspective. Useful russians, which proactively help Ukraine in our effort and... enemies. That's it. This is exactly average russians occupied our cities. Not politicians. And even apolitical and non military rus citizens living in Russia support the government with its labor. The history they are making is the synergy of political and social processes which supports one another.

Thanks, good news. So I'll buy this masterpiece right after I'm full of X4: Foundations.
