This all just sounds like the publisher or MBAs speaking. Did they ask the actual developers on their opinions?

Also, it seems like the ISPs were the ones that blocked access. No word from the government yet. Kinda weird to call this a "ban".

As far as i know, only the Steam Store domain is blocked by ISP's DNS. So changing to Google DNS would easily bypass it.

Do they not also block access to the Steam IPs?

[–] 60fpsrefugee@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

No, for now anyway.

All ISPs under the same company/person/organization?
