I hope that EA will not have the same effect on 1C and their games, it had previously on products of other 'partners'. :|

Cursed be the name "EA"

Wait... does that mean that ubi wont distribute sow:lol:?

No, it won't influence SoW anyhow.;)

I read it as 1C distributing EA games in Russia. Not the other way around.

Correct.

"The agreement signed is an unprecedented event for Russian market. World's leading publisher will unite its strength with the largest Russian software company. We greet Electronic Arts' initiative to distribute games in economy packs", - notes Nikolay Baryshnikov, International Sales Director for 1C Company. "1С became one of the first companies to introduce that scheme in Russian industry. I am sure that the experience gained along with our distribution network which is the biggest in Russia and CIS countries will contribute to effective collaboration and further growth of Russian game market."
