Russian Gov Seizes World of Tanks Dev Lesta Studio

Previously, Lesta Studio was under the umbrella of Wargaming, a company responsible for running the popular game “World of Tanks” in many regions worldwide. However, due to events surrounding the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Wargaming ceased its operations in Russia and Belarus. Consequently, management of the game’s live services in these countries was transferred to Lesta, which had separated from Wargaming around the same period. The fact that Lesta is linked to Wargaming, a company supportive of Ukraine, has attracted attention from the Russian government.
