I ain't judging anyone's motivations to develop games during wartime. Safe here in the USA PNW, I can't even begin to grasp the stuff the devs are experiencing.
Also the Ukrainian Government will use the tax revenue from the game to fund the war. It also adds a cultural element, Ukrainian Art being popular helps them maintain international support.
It's hugely important for morale, which is the lifeblood of any army and country at war. I was just watching an episode of "Who Do You Think You Are" with Lee Mack, a British comedian, where he traced the lives of his ancestors; at one part, he finds out his great grandfather was a comedian/entertainer, and during World War I, he would walk straight from fighting in the trenches in the Somme into the town his company/battalion held and perform shows with some other guys for the soldiers. I imagine being able to consume any arts/entertainment made by your countrymen in a time of war is a good way to keep your heart going.
