The Switch mostly lives on the talent and creativity of Nintendo devs. Russia seems to be lacking in the quantity and quality in that regard as well.
Honestly, I would expect Russia to shoot more for PC gaming, rather than console gaming. But that would almost certainly require using home-grown or Chinese semiconductors. I'm not sure there are too many homegrown Russian semiconductor fabs, and Chinese chips aren't known for their high performance like Taiwanese (TSMC, and by extension nVidia, AMD) and American chips (Intel) are.
Idk, Russian hackers have plenty of talent and creativity.
“Hacking” can be as easy as running some script you found online to prowl for vulnerable systems. This doesn’t take a lot of creativity. A lot of people/businesses/governments don’t practice good security hygiene (e.g. apply security patches as soon as they’re available) and end up getting popped by skiddies. I’d be more impressed if these Russian “hackers” could consistently repel attacks, but a simple google search suggests that they are struggling to defend their own turf
I only know of one Russian game. Tetris.
Durak is basically a land war in Asia.
