Earlier today, EA and 1C Company agreed upon a deal, which will allow 1C to spread EA titles across Russia and "Commonwealth of Independent States nations".

Since 1C has gained a very positive reputation over the years about how they ship out games, it led EA to believe that they were the best way to go.

Nikolay Baryshnikov, International Sales Director for 1C Company, added: "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."

"1C 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."
