Level Zero Extraction is really scary, but not because of the local dangers, but because of the attitude towards players from Russia
Steam recently launched testing of Level Zero Extraction, a game in the spirit of Escape from Tarkov. Battlestate Games is in no hurry to release its long-running evacuation shooter on the Valve service, so such projects often attract the attention of the gaming community.
Level Zero Extraction was no exception, players tried to join the project from different parts of the world, including Russia. The publisher tinyBuild sells games in the country and their pages are freely opened on Steam from the Russian Federation.
However, in the case of Level Zero Extraction, something went wrong – gamers encountered an unexpected problem . Soon after launch, messages began to appear that they were blocked if you started playing with a Russian IP address.
Given the policy of the publisher tinyBuild, many have reason to believe that developers from the DOGHOWL Games studio are behind these bans. The game has been translated into English and Ukrainian, but there is no Russian localization, which leads to certain thoughts about the origin of these creators.
