Could they do it? Deactivate Windows licenses, block Cloud services, access to Office 365 and whatnot?

Can we ask them to turn off all the Xbox services and Activision-Blizzard games in russia as well? Overwatch should be illegal in there anyway because of the "gay propaganda"

Id like russians to start getting banned for the same shit english speaking people do. In english the word "ho" is censored and met with a warning, meanwhile russians can string together 20 slurs and an legitimate, non joke call for genocide and nothing happens. And if you point that out you get called a racist.

That would clear them out very quickly indeed. Most russians I've encountered on the internet are either quite ashamed of what their government is doing and try to blend in with the English speaking crowd, or are so loud and obnoxious you can't possibly miss them.

Good luck with that one. As long as Overwatch is free to play, they can just make new accounts with an EU VPN. No way to tie the account owner to their country of origin unless they fork over that info voluntarily, such as by having to make an online purchase.

I think they have to register a valid phone number to play ranked, unless that restriction got removed
