In general, Nival moved its headquarters to Limassol to focus on global markets. The fact is that back in 2015, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a bill on the introduction of VAT for foreign IT companies operating in Russia. The bill required foreign companies that sell software, games, music, movies, and other content and services (including advertising) in Russia to pay VAT. Nival sells games through Russian and foreign companies using Steam, as well as Google and Apple stores. Now, sales of foreign companies are subject to VAT, and for Russian companies, the tax "effectively doubles." The purchasing power of Europeans is higher than that of Russian players. The additional tax further reduced the attractiveness of the Russian market for the developer. However, according to the latest news, Nival has announced the world's first artificial intelligence based on neural networks. Nival announced that it has managed to solve one of the most ambitious tasks in artificial intelligence in recent times – to create a fair neural network AI for RTS (real-time strategy) games that does not use hidden information about the opponent and plays at the level of top players. A large number of leading global companies, including DeepMind and IBM, are working on this task. The AI created has been given a purely Russian name, Boris. Every few seconds, Boris analyzes the game session and, based on the data obtained, predicts the opponent's behavior, which allows it to apply complex counter-strategies. https://tproger.ru/news/first-fair-ai-for-games/
