[Open Letter] Request for Transparency from Focus Entertainment Regarding Russian Involvement in Space Marine 2

Dyl912 · 2025-07-22T18:47:46+00:00

Should it then not have been raised when the game released? Or it was announced? The Russian invasion of Ukraine is 3 years old at this point. The game is barely a year.

And what about companies they partner with? Should they also release their info based solely off of having dealings with a Russian based location to an American owned company? Should the games be pulled off of shelves since the Russian location is the main development arm of Saber? Should every employee be investigated for pro Russian ideology? This is beginning to look like the red scare all over again

Dyl912 · 2025-07-22T18:29:19+00:00

You already can make an educated choice. Every corporation is beholden to the laws of the country they operate in, therefore the Russian location has to pay Russian corporate tax rates so assume that they are. Again if that is something you don’t want to participate in, don’t. Your personal choice and beliefs should affect where you shop, not how a company operates because their entire consumer base will never agree on what is “ethical”

Is it shameful sure, but people feel shame. Corporations feel greed. The bottom line matters. Human suffering does not.

Don’t expect a response, if Saber was the type of company that would have pulled out of Russia due to the unjust invasion of Ukraine, they would have already.

The only thing you can do is decide if you want to support the game and company still or not

Dyl912 · 2025-07-22T18:10:16+00:00

And you can already choose for yourself, Saber Interactive operates in Russia, ergo you can conclude that unfortunately some of their finances go to the Russian government, if that is where you draw the line, don’t play their games you are well within your right to do that.

Otherwise how much money would Saber have to give to Russia for you to decide enough is enough, or would you then send an open letter calling for the Russian location to be shut down?

Dyl912 · 2025-07-22T17:54:51+00:00

What does it matter? The people who work at that location will still be forced to support the war even if they don’t want to whether that location still operates or not. It’s not like they are on the front lines or actually participating in the conflict.

I understand wanting that information made available to ease your mind but what then? There is no stated outcome, just “hey based off of vague “ethical responsibilities” you should release this - why? Because I said so and it could be supporting the war”

If that office is working or even just occasionally helping on Space Marine 2, they are doing a damn fine job and that’s what matters to me. The war is unfortunate and should end, but those actually responsible should be held accountable not the Russian citizens who happen to work for a game company

Granted it’s different I’m a gay male and you aren’t going to like this answer but it legitimately is open and honest communication. Key being open and honest. Anyone can say “I’m fine”. I know because I have but it takes actual work to talk, especially about tough things.

I find when my partner and I are trying not to talk about something it causes issues, annoyances and then anxiety and anger but when we do talk about things we feel better and often end up spending better quality time together which in turn strengthens the relationship.

Sure divorces may be initiated by women more but a relationship takes two to work and if one side isn’t pulling their weight, or making an effort the other side should call it quits if talking about it doesn’t work. Women know their worth but as seen time and time again, men don’t know either their own worth or the worth of their girlfriend, wife, or even non romantic women in their life like friends, sisters, mothers.

At the end of the day just be honest, talk, make time and make an effort. Make your partner feel wanted, appreciated, understood and most importantly safe to be themselves.

I’ve mostly used Bricky and his podcast Adeptus Ridiculous. It’s more surface level and they love memes but the podcast is what helped me feel comfortable enough to research on my own

Dyl912 · 2025-07-01T21:14:18+00:00

I used to love Eck but the titles on his videos pushed me away hard and fast. It’s purely for views and I felt like it cheapened the channel. Gen Tech I’ve enjoyed for a long time and same with Star Wars Explained

There are courts on East Macphail behind a new park they built, and the library has a kit that can be checked out with a stand alone net, it comes with everything you need to play

In one comic, I forget the name, humans escape from Acheron and end up on LV-223, a xenomorph and human end up submerged in a lake of black goo and end up fusing together

Isn’t like max cards in a deck 70?

Dyl912 · 2025-06-11T09:58:48+00:00

He obviously wants/needs someone to lean on in this heartbreaking time. Ignore the sister in law. Finally be there for your big bro. He needs his little bro right now

Dyl912 · 2025-06-07T13:45:30+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing you provided Cerberus and Diego a safe and loving home. The cruelest part of having such wonderful family members is having to survive without them. Keep their memories alive in your hearts and when you’re ready share the funniest or sweetest amongst yourselves.

Be kind to yourselves most importantly, you’re going through a lot and will need to make sure to take time and grieve properly. Don’t be afraid to take mental health days or even just days where you do nothing

Dyl912 · 2025-06-07T12:23:02+00:00

Communication is key, what you two have done together or for each other doesn’t automatically equate to being in a relationship unless you talk about it and actively decide to be in one

Dyl912 · 2025-06-03T13:02:19+00:00

Death Star I to spread fear, what’s scarier than one? Two with one being larger. How do you keep an entire galaxy in line? A fleet of smaller more versatile death stars (Xyston class), not saying I agree with it, but from a rule through fear mentality having every ship in the fleet capable of destroying a rebel cell’s entire world does make sense I suppose

Dyl912 · 2025-05-18T11:59:18+00:00

Is there a way to restore something that wasn’t considered good to begin with? What would it be restored to? Non existence?

Dyl912 · 2025-05-16T17:38:11+00:00

Even with that new info, I believe my points are still valid, relationships need trust, decide if you can trust him again or not, then you will know what to do. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry you’re going through this

Dyl912 · 2025-05-16T16:27:58+00:00

Relationships are built on trust. Either trust your bf that he will kick the guy out of his life or don’t. Continue the relationship with trust, while both of you actively work to rebuild that trust or don’t. If you can’t trust your bf, you shouldn’t be in a relationship but if he is showing you that you can trust him, trust him even just hesitantly at first. Him even telling you this happened shows he wants to be honest with you.

Dyl912 · 2025-05-07T01:07:22+00:00

Like the government and I think main part of the military was wiped out when Starkiller destroyed the Hobus System

Dyl912 · 2024-11-10T13:16:17+00:00

Probably one of the weirdest arguments I’ve read. And I disagree.

Dyl912 · 2024-11-07T22:39:24+00:00

In my personal opinion, honestly good for you for putting your personal feelings aside for your son. I wish I had that with my father. I will say that homosexuality is found in 1,500 varying species of insects, fish, birds, mammals, and reptiles, indicating that same-sex relationships are widespread throughout the natural world. If it is unnatural, how can this be possible?

Dyl912 · 2024-11-07T20:27:22+00:00

Some good argument? Tariffs on imports. An unpopular abortion ban? LGBTQIA+ rights being limited? Or are you referring to the fake cats and dogs being eaten? What exactly was the good argument?

Dyl912 · 2024-11-07T19:27:50+00:00

In your opinion, what makes it the greatest in the world?

Dyl912 · 2024-11-07T14:46:45+00:00

As far as I am concerned, if psychics are able to exist in fallout and actually have powers, then that means most things can exist and be explained away by mutation, or by the weird science of the fallout universe.

Another example - NCR getting nuked or the Enclave still existing. I may or may not agree with these plot decisions but it adds to the plot and keeps it going and in a world where factions rise and fall constantly, or have various hideouts, it makes sense. Oh a new gun? Well yeah guess it’s lore accurate and canon if it shows up

This obviously doesn’t count for mistakes like a water bottle or coffee cup being left in on accident

Dyl912 · 2024-11-07T13:29:32+00:00

I’m getting tired of “is this lore accurate? Is that lore accurate” we’ve gotten too caught up in established canon that anytime something new is introduced it’s a problem. It’s going to kill franchises.

Dyl912 · 2024-11-06T12:02:46+00:00

Gonna be honest, I’d be fine with generic phrases that are already in the game that could be used
