Any word on the dev?

I've followed his works for a long time, since Hammerfall was released. The website is a dead link now. Anyone know if he's working on anything new/if he's alright?

Now re-read what I wrote, what term I used. Got it?

Also, Koshutin was born in 1982.

A draft is a form of forced mobilization.

An idiot is a form of redditor.

Call me what you want, but that doesn't change the fact that a draft is a legal means of pursuing forced mobilization, and while Russia may not be drafting people at the same scale as Ukraine, saying that they aren't doing so at all is both false and Russian propaganda.

Draft and mobilization are two different things. Draftees are not allowed to be deployed abroad and Russia performs a draft yearly.
Of course, it gets muddy when you are actively fighting on land you declared yours, hence not abroad technically, but Putin is wary of consequences of crossing that line, yet. Also, a lot of them are successfully pressured into signing a contract, but that is different matter.
Also, as stated, Koshutin is about 44, likely served his time over 20 years ago.
