Payments to Russian developers
Reply on sbox.game-
We have a large gamedev community in my country. MiSide is a game in Steam that recently hit the gaming industry, made by an indie developer from Russia. We also have a large fan base and players in Garry's mod and RUST, you can probably see this from your metrics.
At one time, one film company filmed a whole series based on the Garry's mod universe and using the editor. We still have a popular Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) mode in Garry's mod, which collects 5k-10k viewers on one twitch channel.
I am writing this because I am an ordinary developer - who wants to make games, mods, etc. We have a large community of fans of your products, which are really cool things that we love
So. Is there any hope for payments for developers from a country where your products are loved?P.S. Maybe there is an option for payments in cryptocurrency?
P.S.S. I really want to develop games on your engine and editor. Even those similar to MiSide can be created much easier, thanks to your built-in systems. But due to the lack of payments - there is no way to recoup your work and efforts. -

FP isn't handling payments themselves and instead it's processed through Tipalti as far as I know, and most payment systems don't have any way to pay to Russia. And I don't think any of them will ever work with crypto in foreseeable future, that's very unlikely to happen, most countries still don't like using crypto in official business. Your best option right now is making a bank account registered somewhere outside of RU, but it's a big pain in ass.

From what I heard from some people from Dev in Russia.
They often use different country bank accounts. (Or even register companies outside of Russia) The big thing is taxes - FP doesn't want to let people avoid them.
You can still develop games in the S&box, no body is stopping you. But Russia is currently a country with sanctions on them. And that may not change for a while. -
