Russia wants to make its own video games and game consoles, even though other big companies like Sony and Microsoft have stopped selling them in Russia because of a war. The president of Russia, Putin, thinks this is a good chance to create their own industry while they are not allowed to buy from others. But it might be very hard for Russia to do this, because they need special parts and people who know how to make games. They might work with China or another country to help them make the consoles faster. Read from source...

- The title is misleading and exaggerated. It implies that Putin directed the Russian government to create a domestic gaming industry from scratch, which is not true. He only instructed them to explore the possibility of creating one.
- The article uses vague terms like "challenges" and "shortage" without providing specific details or examples of what they are. This makes it seem like the project is doomed to fail, without giving any evidence or reasoning behind it.
- The article mentions that major game companies have halted sales to Russia, but does not mention any alternatives or solutions for this problem. It also does not acknowledge the potential benefits of creating a domestic gaming industry, such as reducing dependency on foreign imports and promoting national pride and innovation.
