Representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation told the RBC newspaper that they are ready to study the proposal on labeling games supplied to Russia. This idea was proposed by the association “R.A.D.I. Video Games”.

The Russian Association of Distributors and Importers of Video Games (aka R.A.D.I. Video Games) proposed to the government to create a registry of games that are shipped to Russia. This is reported by Kommersant with reference to sources close to the government.

In January-June 2023, 133.9 thousand legally imported game discs were sold in Russia, the Russian Association of Distributors and Importers of Video Games calculated at the request of RBC. This is four times less than in 2022.

The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III may not be able to buy from the largest Russian retailers. The companies admitted that they would not sell the game because of scenes of violence against Russians.
