The middle of spring is the time of gaming sales, and the Epic Store gaming store decided to please the Russians not only with good prices, but also convenient payment methods, without disabling most of them as some of its competitors.

Against the background of limiting the work of Western payment systems in Russia, Visa, MasterCard, Paypal, American Express, Western Union temporarily left it.

In fact, the main payment methods for Western online stores. Moreover, some Russian banks fell under American full blocking SDN-sanctions, and some disconnected from the SWIFT system. Their cards stopped working with any payment systems.

Apple Pay, Google Pay stopped working with Russia. Apple is considering the ability to disable Apple ID replenishment from a mobile phone account. However, Samsung Pay this did not affect any calculations within Russia through the national payment system, there is a contactless payment system for MIR Pay.

Users have become more willing to draw up co-badges with the Chinese payment system UnionPay for Oriental Travel and Online Shopping. This led to the rise in price of the release of such cards.

Epic Games has introduced a restriction on in-game purchases.

Steam store removed almost all available payment methods from Russia. A pair of remaining funds remained a request to friends from other countries to replenish the store's wallet, as well as a QIWI wallet, where you can make a payment on a Steam account through your account in Kazakh tenge. The commission for the operation will be 12-16%. Also, the service of replenishment of the Steam account only offers "MTS-Bank". The Commission reaches 16-22%.

At the same time, the Epic Store was most loyd to the Russian audience. These days and until April 7, 2022, a traditional spring sale is held in the store. Discounts for past games range from 40 to 70%.

Although this sale has not yet applied a free coupon of 650 rubles. Such is the price of the lack of price increase in the game in the store, which at most positions of the past catalog did not happen, despite changes in the exchange rate, which has already been adjusted noticeably in recent days.

For example, in the Epic Store you can buy a complete set of trilogy led by Hitman III, all missions and tasks from past parts. The store offers a 50-60% discount on this game, as well as for skipping to DLC and the past content. Savings can be several thousand rubles, in comparison with the project price outside the sale.
