There is an ongoing massacre of Ukraine. Civilians are dying in horrible way, buildings and infrastructure is torn to the ground. The whole country is being annihilited. In the same time Russians and Belarusians are cut from any information about it. They just don't know. Some know and don't care. There are more and more international sanctions being introduced every day. Even clothing companies are taking their businesses out of Russia. Steam is leaving. X-box left. And what is BGA doing? BGA is indifferent. Just play games, don't mind the politics. This is not politics folks! You really need to react. I feel like pressure should come from other sources like twitter. I should probably contact anonymous. But I am just starting here. Please react and ban!

A moderator/admin had already responded on earlier threads like this, and the answer was a no back then.

Well, all right then, so there's a reason for mass action on social media. Thank you for quick reply (call to action)

Is this a troll post or just obtuseness? It's not because there is a war going on that we can all just stop living our lives or we are not allowed to have any fun anymore.

We are asking BGA to take a stance and simple action on this, as the rest of the civilised world is doing.

Right, as well as temporarily hosting two refugees at the moment (can't afford a permanent stay for others sadly), buying necessary food and provisions, paying for charity and supporting packing provisions at work. Most Poles are doing it. Probably folks in other neighbouring countries are doing the same. Nearly 800 thousands people came here and there will be more and more. And during Saturday evening I play games to vent because I am so stressed at what's going on. Why are you even asking nairobiny? Far in UK you see no problem, only tv propaganda right? You might be surprised very soon

No one is forcing anyone to play with Russian players.

If you don't like them, don't play with them, simple as that.

I on the other hand have no issues with them.

BGA should close this post like they did the other one.

Thank you KongKing123. Yes I demand a stance from BGA too. Who is with us?

Уважаемые россияне. Российское вторжение в Украину продолжается. Гибнут невинные люди, дети и мирные жители. Путин вторгся в суверенное государство. Российские СМИ врут и распространяют пропаганду.
Дорогие русские братья и сестры.
Войска Путина бомбят Киев, Житомир, Харьков и другие города. Также с оружием, запрещенным Женевской конвенцией. Гибнут мирные жители, матери, дети… Обстрелы детских садов, больниц, бомбежки... Сила в тебе, в твоей открытости миру. На карту поставлена ​​судьба мира. Открой свое сердце. Никто не хочет нападать на Россию. Но Путин атакует уже много лет. Грузия, Чечня, лишают людей свободы. Сейчас защищается Украина. Они защищают свои достоинство и свободу. Пропаганда и паранойя вашего президента - это болезнь. Будь сильным и скажи нет войне, катастрофам, убийствам людей и лжи. Этот мир может быть построен построить на мире, а не на войне
Это не миротворческая операция Кремля России. Это вторжение в Украину. Украина хочет быть свободной, это мирное государство. Она никогда не нападала. Революции произошли, потому что выборы были сфальсифицированы и были поставлены кремлевские политики. Украина просто хочет быть свободной, защищать себя.
Всего хорошего и берегите себя.
Мы хотим сказать вам многое.

It's neither. If you want a stance to be taken, you take it. Of course you don't have to stop having fun, but you do have to choose whether to do something meaningful or to have fun. You want BGA to make you feel better about having chosen to play 7 Wonders. Instead, why not take responsibility for your own choices?
