Reading now: 499
Earlier this week, Steam became banned in the country of Vietnam.
As reported by Game Developer, per translation from VietnamNet, the ban is possibly due to Valve's business operations.
A spokesperson for one of the domestic publishers alleges Steam can release games in the country without government approval. However, Vietnamese game makers cannot side-step the compliance process.
The representative also said Valve's actions are "an injustice to domestic publishers." They added that authorities must take action, or local game publishers "will die."
A user took to the Steam forums to note that "all internet providers decisively block access to [the] Steam launcher and web."
GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to Valve for comment.
