It's not as simple as about backbone. I agree that ethics are a good reason to stop doing business with an individual but if a company like Valve were to pull out of every country based on ethical matters, they'd need to found their own country.
Not every country wants people like me dead.
Not every country has decent civic rights. Yet Steam doesn't operate in only 4 and these are the ones US has issued a ban to trade with.
And as we are on topic of pulling out of operating in Russia, many western companies did so, yet since initial "withdrawal" in 2022 some had reinstated their businesses. And noone is taking about it. 🤷
We should absolutely talk about it
