After than ten years of providing games and a community platform for the region Steam was suddenly blocked within Vietnams borders. The reasons behind this ban are still unclear. Local developers have expressed their concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although officials<\/a> have not commented reports suggest that local developers lobbied the government claiming that the exclusion of thousands of Steam games from scrutiny gave them an advantage over domestic games. Whether negotiations can settle this clash of business interests remains uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present gamers in Vietnam can only speculate about the future of Steam, in their country. While workarounds are available uncertainty looms ahead. If the ban becomes permanent it could disrupt the gaming community. Alter the gaming industry<\/a> landscape. Both local and international companies will be monitoring closely for any indications that this issue may be moving towards a resolution soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
