Valve removes god-fighting game from Steam in Malaysia after countrywide ban

Malaysia temporarily banned Steam across its territory today allegedly in response to one game that violates its religious-and-racial-unity laws. That ban has ended, but some of the nation’s internet service providers are still blocking access to Steam. The game in question is Fight of Gods, which is like Street Fighter, but instead of Ryu and Ken who play as religious figures like Jesus and Buddha (although Ken is my god).

“Right now, players in Malaysia can access the games they own on Steam,” Valve communications boss Doug Lombardi said in a note to GamesBeat. “But the Steam Store is being blocked by some local telcos in Malaysia.”
