From what I'm reading, it's all because they were offended by this game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/612930/Fight_of_Gods/

I thought it would be some indie crap but this game looks pretty good. Wishlisted! Thanks Malaysia

Well that's not even subtle, is not that hard to see how some religious people might get offended (not that offending people is particularly hard to do nowadays), but blocking the entire steam store seems like over-reacting.

I've heard it's because of this game http://store.steampowered.com/app/612930/Fight_of_Gods/

They just blocked the steam store web, Steam service itself is still working alright.
It's just a message for now. I heard it's DNS block, so affected people can just change DNSes to something like 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4.

I'm a Malaysian and I've been using Google DNS for years (I even had it setup on the router, not just my PC, so that my family can enjoy a normal internet life).
Because of this, I didn't even know about it until I found it out from YouTube.
Btw, Malaysia ban most of the websites using this DNS poisoning method, so... if you use start using Google DNS now, you can probably able to surf some sites that were previously banned. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, they're in for a full-blown riot. Viva la revolución - now with loot boxes, micro-transactions to progress further and our beloved trading cards, featuring the leaders of each side. And Valve gets 30% of everything.

Hey, that fighting game looks decent. Too bad it seems to have next to zero keyboard support though. =(
Comment has been collapsed.
Keyboard for fighting games?That's like driving with your feet sure it's doable but why would you.
I mostly suspect that is because or I hope you can't be bothered with a controller for one game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Partly. I actually have two cheapo controllers, but I generally suck with them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah then yes using the keyboard probably is the better option.I have to have a controller well one is health issues but the other is the fact I can't do driving games with M&KB and games like Fallout etc for me is much better with a controller.I do use M&KN for RTS/Sim games.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm generaly bad at fighting games but I like them anyway and I found out that I'm actually more competent with a keyboard that I'll ever be with a controller.

I can still access Steam Store through browser, tried removing Google DNS and still working as well.
Fight of Gods "is currently unavailable in your region" though.

Steam banned that game from Malaysia steam store so that MCMC can unban Steam store.
So... now I gotta beg my Singapore friend to gift me that game. =(
Comment has been collapsed.
Great, they just gave a totally anonymous game who nobody would ever find at the bottom of the steam store a huge boost in popularity. Free advertising yay! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I still can access it, but my friend's connection has already been blocked, and he's furious about it right now cos he just bought a $20 Steam Wallet code and now he can't redeem it.
Me personally I think what these government fat cats did are stupid. I don't even mind about the game, heck, I even found it quite interesting when I first discovered it a week ago. That might be to me not being a religious person but come on... to block the entirety of Steam service over it? Ugh. Just ugh. Fucking idiots.

Like the other violent game. Can't remember the name

Well that was a stupid move. MCMC lacks proper education I think.
Comment has been collapsed.
they got offended because their interpretation of god is fighting others... amazing. 🤦
well, i hope it's not just that, because it's super stupid.

“It is also unhealthy for children as they may idolise certain characters in the game they deem them to be more powerful due to the number of victories they score with that character.”

Wow. Talk about taking extreme measures. Come on, people. It's just a game.
So it features religious deities. Big deal. Just look at it, have a laugh, and move on to your next big problem.
Then again, I live in America. While it won't get banned, the evangelical's would have a field day with this. After they get done blaming the gay's in Texas for Hurricane Harvey.
Comment has been collapsed.
LOL - that speaks of about a serious lack of education on the part of evangelical leaders right there - seriously though, some people really are dumb as a bag of spanners

Florida professor fired for suggesting Texas deserved Harvey after voting for Trump
Shits and giggles for news entertainment just like this moron that BTFO'd himself ...
meanwhile Irma is on its way to Florida as well ... and another Hurricane might be inbound.
just the right time for some price gouging and re-branding ...
Comment has been collapsed.
I hear nonstop blaming on Trump for each hurricane. Liberals have completely lost their minds.

I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I read the last part of your comment.
But after reading the article I don't know if I should be more shocked by people blamming natural dissasters on gays or the people that doesn't believe in climate change and preffer to follow the lead of the former as a more reasonable explanaition.

Banning a game so that the thing their government is afraid of is now front page news and now known by all of their gaming population is GENIUS. Now a hundred times more people in Malaysia will be playing that game. 😂

Yeah, remember the same happened with the outcry over Postal a few years back. No-one really cared about it and sales were low (because it's a shitty game...) but after all the headlines and news reports on 'how horribly evil' it was it got a massive upswing. Everyone wanted to see what the fuss was about...

So all Malaysians should do this: https://www.lowyat.net/2017/140602/switch-google-dns-windows/

And Moses is now a god ? I thought he was a prophet or whatever, to be honest I don't know shit about religion
Comment has been collapsed.
Based on the reviews I'm seeing so far, apparently the news about Malaysia blocking this game and steam, has been counterproductive because now the game has free advertising and gaining even more notoriety.
