According to Ivan Montik, SoftSwiss has highly loaded systems and a large number of active players – about 400,000 in more than 60 projects: they need to be supported every minute, day and night. The expert clarifies that the company employs several hundred people in total in Belarus, and if the situation with Internet access does not change, all employees will have to move to another country.
