In Russia and the CIS, they banned buying Atomic Heart on Steam, offering a convenient VK Play service. As it turned out, the service has problems not only with payment. If you manage to download the game, then the problems will not end.
We already wrote that buying Atomic Heart in VK Play is not very convenient. Users complained that the service does not always accept their cards.
As it turned out, this is only the beginning of the problems of VK Play customers. Customers of Atomic Heart began to complain on the social network about the problems.
Atomic Heart is not easy to download in VK Play. Players complain about slow download speeds, as well as "endless freezes" of the experimental launcher. There are also complaints that buyers of the game disappeared from the library just like that. Some users regret the purchase on VK Play and are interested in how to return the money.
If somehow buyers of Atomic Heart on VK Play can download the game, then the problems will not end.
For example, Sergey Yanush warned that using a VPN with VK Play turned on is dangerous. He said he decided to play Atomic Heart after work. At the launch, they offered to buy the game for $10 (using a German VPN) - they took away the game he bought on VK Play.
He tried logging out and back in again (no VPN), but he was facing endless downloads. It is noteworthy that the game was still displayed in the profile. After some time, Atomic Heart did return. Judging by the comments, Atomic Heart tends to disappear from the VK Play library even if you don't use a VPN.
With the launch of Atomic Heart in VK Play, everything is also complicated.
Maxim Muravyov described his experience of buying Atomic Heart on VK Play in the following way: “This service does everything to make Atomic Heart the first and last game that I bought in this something that cannot even be called a store or something else. that year and now I want to download it, but unfortunately it somehow thinks that I didn’t buy the game. Just a dead service from the start."
In Russia and the CIS, Atomic Heart is available exclusively on VK Play. The game was banned from Steam. The release in VK Play took place later than on other platforms.
