There are no ‘Western sanctions’ that prohibit from selling stuff to all Russians. Visa and MasterCard stopped doing cross-border transactions by their own decision, and most Russian banks are cut off from SWIFT. That's all, aside from more individual and sector-specific sanctions.

    How does that contradict what I said?

    You think living in Ukraine, I would be aware of the exact scope of sanctions against russia (and the massive loopholes)?

    Are you aware of what you yourself wrote in the original comment?

    Russia is sanctioned and they are not supposed be able to make purchases at all.

    Explain to me why they're supposed to not be able to make purchases.

    When you use steam, do you mail Newell the cash?

    Do you know how law works? There's no law against Newell accepting cash from Russia. Whereas, if the US wanted, they would easily make a law saying it's forbidden to accept any kind of payment from Russia. Steam operates entirely within what the law says.
