I will believe it when I see it. Who will be making games for them, I wonder.
Russian programmers are pretty good; don't underestimate them. A lot of them are focused on malware, mind you.
I don't expect Russia will make a console on par with a PS5, but they might make one closer to the hardware of a SNES Classic mini-console.
You are right, but you should remember that a lot of them fled the country to skip conscript. Moreover, games are made a very long time, 4-5 years minimum and it costs a lot of money. And to make independent platform you must create a lot of games because no one will buy it if you can't play at anything.
But what about game designers and artists? There's a good reason why eurojank exists.
