Putin approved the idea to move the servers of popular games in the country to Russia
The head of the International Boxing Association, Umar Kremlev, proposed to move the servers of the games played by residents of the country to Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with his idea.
The Kremlin also advocated obliging gaming companies to open regional offices in Russia. The games themselves, according to Kremlev, should be placed in the domain zone.ru.
According to the Kremlin, now abroad through the domain zone.com is being withdrawn about $5 billion by American and Canadian gaming companies, the period, as well as the source of the data, is not specified. He also pointed out that foreign games often put Russia in a bad light. To solve the problem, the Kremlin proposed the creation of a single regulator, which, if necessary, will be able to block games.
"Why not do it? Indeed, the servers should be located here. We love both Canada and the United States, but to earn something from us, especially in such a negative way, why do we allow this?" Putin commented on his words.
"It is necessary not to work out, but to do it," the president added.
