By the letter of the law, you’re mistaken.

it bears repeating that laws do not follow morality though, of course.

Personally: I find it deeply uncomfortable that nearly all tech seems to come out of the US, where sanctions and rules are applied unilaterally, with only relatively minor pushback.

I have even had issues supporting users when I was transitioning from bare-metal to cloud due to US sanctions blocking Cuba, Iran and a part of Ukraine (Crimea) which is nearly impossible for us to avoid selling our product to accidentally, dooming anyone living there to buy a product that can never work.

(The product was a multiplayer game)

It does not even matter whether you're coming from US. It matters whether you want to do any business in US or with US organizations.
