Vietnam ban access to Steam

[BakTheSloth]

Just in today, all internet providers decisively block access to Steam launcher and web.

vpn won't be of any use if you want to buy something. Unless you have a card from another country.

Really not that big a deal, there's tons of way to go around this and no skill required to do so

Yup. Let hope the future won't turn into a darker grimier for Steam in Vietnam.

One hour ago we VN gamers still can access to the store page but can't add fund to Steam wallet anymore. So they fixed the problems with the store and hide the BIG problems of transactions out of outsiders views.
- Updated: Now Store page are downed again (I'm not changing IP or using any VPN btw)

From what I heard, it's a bunch of local businesses being jealous of Steam and are pressuring the government.

TLDR: the online game monopolies of Vietnam complains that they can't extort the market share our Lord and Savior Gabe Newell rightfully earned. So they wanted to brand him and Steam as illegal platforms. Now they have just gone ahead and blocked the platform in Vietnam, forcing users to tinker a bit with their DNS to bypass.

Here's the community reaction from real Vietnamese:

Vietnam government apparently requires violent video games to be heavily censored, and gives CS2 as an example of illegal content there.
