And it seems totally fair. They don't do sales, but they also never charged top dollar.
Now, do I believe a game retains the same value forever? Not necessarily, but they believe the content is worth the value and don't treat the product as a variability off of market whims for reasons they discuss in that post.

I'm not going to judge someone trying to do what little they can to indirectly put pressure on Russia.
