However, supply has not kept pace with demand. If since the beginning of hostilities, the number of proposals to bypass official payment schemes for video games has increased by 3-11%, then the demand for them has increased by 24-52%.
The specific growth of supply-demand depends on the platform. For example, the demand for buying games using “workarounds” from Steam has risen by 24%, and for subscriptions for PlayStation Plus — by 52%.
According to Kommersant, outbidders who find various ways to transfer games to Russian users earn around 10% of the product price if we are talking about Steam, and up to 250% in the case of a PlayStation Store subscription sale.
