The recent world events in question are likely Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has shaken the gaming world. Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp depicts cartoonish land war, including tank warfare, and one of its factions, Blue Moon, is based on Russia and the Soviet Union. Blue Moon's leader, Olaf, is based on Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
Several companies have pledged aid to Ukrainian humanitarian efforts, including a bundle of games sold by Itch.io that raised more than $2.5 million in 24 hours. Other companies such as Twitch and Microsoft have ceased business operations in Russia in compliance with international sanctions.
