However, it may be a severe concern for innocent gamers looking to indulge in their favorite games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recently, gamers across Indonesia have been devastated to discover that their government has officially blocked access to several online platforms. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On 29th July 2022, Indonesia&rsquo;s government blocked search engine Yahoo and gaming platforms, Steam, Epic Games, and Battlenet, as well as payments firm PayPal over licensing issues. In particular, the ban was due to a failure to register the companies according to the licensing law under Indonesian government jurisdiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Indonesia Blocks Steam, Epic Games, And Battlenet<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/qB7E56QUmSdn5LEZ8rP87x7f53AwmTE-dYReyEqs6xU\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9JbmRvbmVzaWEvSW5kb25lc2lhX0Jsb2Nrc19TdGVhbSUyQ19FcGljX0dhbWVzJTJDX0FuZF9CYXR0bGVfTmV0X0FtaWRfTGljZW5zaW5nX0RyYW1hX0RvdGFfMi5qcGc\" alt=\"Dota 2 blocked in Indonesia after license failure steam\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Dota 2&#8217;s one of the most widely-played games in Indonesia.
