The owner of the fast-food brand says there are "no new updates" on its pledge to leave Russia.

    MS stopped selling licenses last year and blocked the ones operating this year (non renewal). But I get your point, only not all the big companies stayed

      You’re assuming Russians pay for MS licenses michael-laugh

      (Note: I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, just that piracy is rampant in Russia)

          Uncritical support for FitGirl. Unless they’re a transphobe like Empress, I guess.

      What exactly did they block? You can still buy any Microsoft product in Russia, your online subscriptions are still billed in rubles, you can pay them from any card Visa or Mastercard accept. As of now there are no problems at all with Microsoft products in Russia.

          Sorry, don’t get your point. A company may say one thing like Burger King said they will dump Russia. The reality at least currently with both Burger King and Microsoft is another thing.

            Since I’m not living in Russia I can’t tell you what exactly is happening there but I can read what they told the world (with no one telling it’s false)
