The aim of this initiative is to ensure that the servers on which Internet games run are located in Russia and not outside the country. This has implications from a national security and sovereignty perspective and in terms of preventing potential anti-Russian contexts in online games.
Some Russian game developers have already localized servers in Russia, but the challenge is to expand this practice to a wider range of games and developers. This move is also related to the desire to limit the economic benefits foreign companies derive from the Russian online gaming market.
