And do not forget that USSR NEVER used atomic bombs in real battle - while that were US who bombed CIVIL cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with atomic bombs. Japan was ready to surrender by that time, but I just wanted to use nuclear weapon - there was no reason for that. Today you call this "democracy" - it is a shit.

Again, again an idiot troll in the thread - cool democracy in Vietnam or Iraq from USA and how bad was communism in Baltic countries with all those factories they have got after USSR) Amd this list can be extended - tell me about "bright democracy" in Lybia? Please, also remind - who saved Cuba when they needed it? And who was waiting for 43 year to open western front? Who is bulding up hidden biological laboratories with unallowed viruses and who is helping ofiicial Syrian goverment to stop terrrorists there? USA sucks, that's all. USSR was a very good country with peacefull intentions to build up a fair society where everyone is equal while USA are doing only one thing - war for resources to be rich at the expense of other countries. Here is a quote from the JA2 game, so you should understand that clear - on the attached screenshot. JA is about mercenaries who are fighting for money, that's all - they are asking for more and more money, they refuse to work wihtout money and do not care much about population - it is fine for them to shoot everyone down if only commander wishs so.

If you are a normal person - you won't be offended of Ican on the cover. If you are idiot - you won't be interested in JA3, it is that simple.

All of the listed companies have lost business in Russia and they do not have any chance to return back. THQ has a great chance to do the right thing and stay beyond this shit, the used Ivan before the specoperation began - normal peiple, who really want to play the game will buy it anyway.

In JA2 there were both text boxes and voices speches too. So, voicing is still have a chance.

Dolvich is more Belorussian second name than ukranian, but in out world woth Russia and Belorus are banned) As a solution I can suggect tp add merc editor as it was in JA2 and let everyone chose a flag like in Xcom.

Actually topic starter wants to do that.

Moreover - we are allowed to play nazi in COD, Red Orchestra and dozens of other games)

Because it looks cool. It is a soviet form, he was a soviet soldier and soviet symbols aare not banned.

It is about cancell culture itself. Soviet symbols are not related to nazim while svastika is banned everywhere, it is like lets ban Russia flag from the internet. Or do you want to call all soviet people = nazists? So, you are calling those, who assaulted Berlin and finished with Hitler nazists, right? Those, who leberated Europe? Coooooool, mad world... Soviet union lost more that enyone else during 2nd World War - now in 2022 people think they are the same as nazi Gwermany...

At leats we can try to fight it back here, on this forum. Developers - do not try to be good for everyone, it is almost impossible with all of these different mercs from JA - all of them are offensive for someone)

It is relevant of course, if you are touching politics - so, everything which is politics will be included in such a discussion. I see Fidel in the cover - he is from Cuba, you should know that Cuba is officially the enemy of the western "civilised: countries. Let ban him too, why not? Or Tex - he is also very offensive character, he is asian who speaks like a cowboe, Bith americans and asians can be offended. Or this girl from Israel (I do not know the name) - do you know how much children in Palestina were killed by Israel army? Lets ban her too. lets ban AK47 from the game- it is soviet symbol and legacy. Leave everything as it is - independently of what you are doing, there are people who will be 100% offended of something. JA ia a game full of ironic and black humor, it is not a politicians battlefield. Ivan is an iconic character, he looks great on that poster and only one person on the internet offended by him is a topic-starter-troll.

Why not go on and ban Ivan from the game? And add a Micola, an Ukranian merc who will say "Slava Ukraine!" each time he kills somebody? Sounds absurd? Yes, it sounds the same as to be offended because of Ivan on the cover or in the game - this is an iconic character who is not connceted in any way to the modern history, moreover - people love to play him. Also, russian JA community might be the biggest one all around the world - russians created significant amount of mods for this game (everyone knows Nigth Ops, for example), so ye, let's show these people that they are bad just because they were born in Russia. And do not foget to delete Ivan from both JA1 and JA2 and release a deletion patch in Steam and GOG! This political sheet is everywhere nowadays, STOP pushing it into vedeogames! If you want to proof someone something - go one, you have a great opportunity and join any army on your chose and do that on the real battlefield. P.S. "Bad" commies created everythung in Ukrain, just everything - all factories, which were sold now by ukranian presidents, agricultural industry was created by commies, ports, which are used to ship goods and these sheeps too - everything was created by commies in Ukrain, even weapons with which armies are fighting at the moment - this all is a communists legacy independantly, if you like them or not. Think about that.
