Of course using such words is ‘not professional and does not contribute to resolving the’ but only if there is a reason for that.
For example Visa and Mastercard left Crimea (ofc we are not Crimea and does not related to it anyway - it is just an example) and I wonder why these companies did it. The answer is in order published on whitehouse.gov. It is an explanation and all companies have to follow it. In our case (Epic and Belarus) it is just an initiative of your company and it has no explanation except mysterious ‘local legislation’ (without any details and links to that legislation).
Definitely in such case Epic can’t break the law as well as any other company. But I do not know any other company who set such limitations. Every day I use paid services from US and often buy physical goods and never experienced any problems. I doubt that such companies as Google, Ebay, Valve etc. break the law…
I hope you will resolve as soon as possible.
