Played with a Finn in ArmA. Great guy, used to have to pause and go have a dick measuring contest with the Russian army on occasion. Legitimately these smaller nations probably have a higher ratio of hobby gamers (not just phone gatcha bullshit) than people would realize. It helps that there's a high proficiency in English as well, and a good economy.
As for mald, the reason why him and his pet retards are, well, malding, is because the success of the petition, a million signatures of actual, real people, is something that is beyond any of these people could expect from their own efforts. Heartbound for example seems to have only 100kish sales. Ross has done something that is expected to reach over
10x the amount of people investing their political and social capital for something that very few people have ever heard of, non the less considered. This type of social outreach per person for something nobody has heard about is something that companies, NGOs,
governments, pay
billions for, and it was started by and lead by only one small creative guy who's galvanized, unintentionally, an overarching community around his idea and by extension himself by simply being affable and consistent. No weird messaging, no scandals, no extra promises, just a single "we want to bring this issue to the authorities and make ourselves be heard" that's been ineffective or tranny lovingly astroturfed since fucking Occupy Wallstreet. It is such an inoffensive message with an inoffensive messenger that it just works for broad appeal.
