as reported in Vietnam.net, it's possible Steam has been taken down in Vietnam after local game developers complained about the scope and size of Steam's vast portfolio of games, claiming Vietnamese devs cannot compete with Steam's releases given they are subject to government approval and thousands of international games on Steam are not.

Citing it as "an injustice to domestic publishers", Vietnamese studios reportedly say that local game development "will die" if Steam is able to keep releasing games without the same government scrutiny as domestic games.

Sounds like the problem here is the "government scrutiny" not steam.

Ah yes so this is how NATO/WEF shilling works... destroy native development and make a country the host for western parasites to suck money.

It's nice being able to love in people's heads rent-free.

Did not know NAFO trolls existed on Lemmy. But then, some NATO/OTAN profile pic accounts exist, so no surprise.
