Hmm. I would have bought the game, but it is not Russian. Throw away the money for non-Russian game?

*shrug*
If anything that's not Russian (or do you mean: IN Russian?) is worthless to you, then you shouldn't mind not having a copy of this game.

Yet pretty much all of the games on this site are not Russian and are in fact English.

Yes. Maybe you guys are right. But imagine a different situation. You are more or less interesting game, which is warez. Are you going to buy it, but know that it is in Russian or Italian. Would you buy it?

Of course I would buy it, who wouldn't?

True, yet I personally wouldn't mind owning every version of a game which I really enjoyed.

I guess that's the difference between us, you're an actual collector of games, and I can totally understand that you might want every version of a game

As for me, I've only purchased foreign language games with the sole intent of learning the language from playing them.

That is if you played in Kirandya, ALone in dark or in day of the tentacles in English. So you would have played in the same game in Russian?

If there was no other language I could get the game in, then I'd buy it.

Besides, English isn't that difficult to learn. There are dictionaries and online translators you can use... and good knowledge of that language is rather useful nowadays.
