[quote]Barrack Obama Decision of 19 January. on the introduction of sanctions against Russia has caused considerable concern among citizens. US companies are required to stop the trade and services in the territory of Crimea. These findings have been supported by companies such as Valve, Google, Apple and PayPal. Us an e-athletes should interest most Valve's decision, which is also a lot of bans imposed against the Russians. Russian citizens using the accounts can not currently buy or download games already paid. This decision was protected by the players who could make a low exchange rate of the ruble. Apple quickly adapted to the decision of the president and suspended the sale of their equipment, cooperation with Russian partners, and the provision of any services in Russia. In addition, since February 1, Google will completely deprive Russians permission to download any apps from Google Play. In addition to the opportunity to earn the Crimea disappear in programs such as AdWords and AdSense. In accordance with the decision of Barrack Obama, all other US companies to cease to provide any financial operations and services, carry out investments in the region, Russia, and completely stop the export and import of goods.

Only Crimea it seems. Sorry for the sensationalist headline but I was citing a source that was sensationalist as hell so I found a better one and forgot to change the title.

Other tech companies have included Valve cutting off Steam services in the country.[/quote] This cuts off users from access to their legitimately purchased games and servers. Wow, that sucks.
