Xbox's way of treating customers who want to purchase content while in Russia is stupid. I'm a US citizen who wants to play a digital game on a Saturday morning, using a US card. Why do I have to go through support?

I’m an American globalist and a Russian patriot. What this means: I am aware of the world at large, having travelled across and around it.
