    Sounds like the problem here is the “government scrutiny” not steam.

        Love how people like you have to bring in NATO into everything. As if it has anything to do with Vietnam banning Steam.

            What exactly do you think NATO has to do with this situation?

                I don’t think you have the slightest clue about what NATO actually is.

                Because they have nothing to do with Vietnam choosing to ban steam.

                    NATO is a military alliance. Being part of NATO does not grant you any benefits in any market beyond perhaps weapon sales.

                    Being part of NATO has no meaning when it comes to game development, and sales, global otherwise.

                    So again. I ask the question. Why do you think NATO has anything to do with the topic?

                    Lmao you really have no idea what NATO is. You just use it as a buzz word

                So if I publish a game on steam I am now a colonizer? If I am a Vietnamese citizen who downloads a game that hasn’t gone through “government scrutiny” am I now a collaborator? What if I am a Vietnamese game developer that has published directly to steam without giving a shit about whatever censorship my government is trying to implement? Should I be sent to reeducation?

                    What point is it you think he made clear?

                    If they want to protect their developers. They would help them succeed on the global market. Make it easier for them to compete.

                Government scrutiny means devs need the govs approval to release games, hurting their devs

            The government scrutiny sounds like it is hurting the devs not protecting them

            I wonder if they know they’ve got nazifurs on their fed. Wouldn’t surprise me if they do and don’t care; but… I wonder if they know.
