Sea of Thieves BANNED in Russia

I think there is no need to explain the political relationships of Russia in 2022. What little amount of players know is that as sanctions towards Russia Rare decided to make the game unavailable at Steam for the Russian segment of SoT community. I am against war and wish the whole conflict would stop as soon as possible, however by closing off the game in Russia (without the return of money to the players!) Rare violated the first rule of Pirate Code that they hold so dearly. What amazed me is the fact that Rare wanted to make Sea of Thieves an experience for everyone. "Everyone is welcome in Sea of Thieves regardless of their...nationality" states the Pirate Code. And now it ahs been violated by its own creators. I am GLad that you rae supporting Ukraine, and I stand with you on this matter, but there are other methods of supporting the people (such as adding new sails and the purchases would go on the supplies for Ukranians), instead of simply banning the game for Russians.
