I will stick to the russian version, there is nothing wrong with that. I just need someone to send me screen captures of all keyboard bindings and i am good to go. One reason it been much cheaper in russia is also that there is no ubi taking money from the between.

I agree. A lot seem to be buying both, though. A western version on preorder for the language and the Russian version in case the western version is never fully capable.

In that case I can agree. Also because I'm really afraid about the western "filter" (not optional).

Exactly, that's what I was referring to. Anyway, I really doubt whether western players will be able to buy from yuplay.ru as easily as they are now for long. Ubi will almost certainly insist on their implementing something to stop this.

My thoughts as well, although to avoid the filter the choice is more lightened.
I am in serious doubt myself, pay Oleg the fair 'Western' price but receive a copy with a non-removable filter. I have to think about it for a while

I could agree with this, if in fact the Dev. team does get the added profit (or at least a good portion of it). But if it's only so that UBI can purloin some added cash for them selves, I have no issue with people buying the Russian version.

Anyway for me it's not really an issue as I've put my purchase (and rig-upgrade) on hold, on account of the UBI factor.

Partially. Russian retailers still take their share.

so when you pay 14$ instead of 50, even with Ubi taking its share of the 50, there is a chance that the studio receives less.

So you want people to pay more money for a fraction of a product? If they didn't spend the last 6 years to release something in this condition I would agree a little more about supporting the developer...$14 is probably all it's worth from what I have seen.
