    From the exorbitant numbers of Russians playing DotA and CS:GO I would assume there is a significant part who enjoys playing online games.

    And while, sure, there are numerous examples of alternative networks / cracked servers etc., If you want to participate in “real” community of one of these games, you’ll have to use an official client.

        I didn’t mean those games specifically, just wanted to underline my point that multiplayer games are popular in Russia.

        The official online community of a multiplayer game. E.g. there are numerous private WoW servers, but the biggest and most relevant community plays on the official servers.

          Wanting to play in the biggest community make sense but any alternative is better than nothing so i don’t think they care that much if the local community is big enough and it certainly is in Russia.
