Earlier, Lantratova proposed legislative changes that would ban violent games and promote non-traditional relationships in them. According to her, this is necessary to protect Russians from destructive game content.

Yes, because in the computer shooter genre this is a historically established norm. According to the logic of the authors of the initiative, the long-awaited release should be banned. It is easy to predict how this will affect the market: gamers will download the game anyway, a promising Russian company will lose profits and even be fined.
