This is reported by Kommersant with reference to three sources from the gaming industry. According to the publication, the reason was sanctions. Because of them, the company will most likely no longer be able to publish games on Google Play or the App Store, which means it will lose the opportunity to bring them to foreign markets.
It is also assumed that Sberbank may not close SberGames, but divide it into two independent brands — Russian and international. At the same time, the international brand will try to hide the connection with the “Sber”.
One of Kommersant’s sources indicated that the employees of SberGames started looking for a new job.
Sber itself has not yet commented on Kommersant’s information.
