      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?

      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.

              Tell me what the “government scrutiny” is then! I have no idea except that Vietnamese game developers find it onerous. It’s a video game, how much scrutiny does it need?

              And what is you think west does that it always has? You can never say anything specific. It’s always vague nonsense.

                  Ah yes, everyone else fault. Not that you come in here with the dumbest claim, refuse to explain it, and then just try to shit on everyone calling you out on your idiocy.

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