Finally! Steam Can Be Opened, How Else?

Kominfo finally unblocked Steam today, so Steam can open again. The foreign PSE registration policy by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics has worried various groups of Indonesian society, especially among gamers.

The reaction of the Indonesian people towards the blocking of various gaming platforms up to PayPal is almost similar. The majority of people criticize Kominfo for policies that are considered very detrimental, especially detrimental to gamers and freelancers who live from digital platforms.

For unblocking by Kominfo, global companies must register foreign PSE with Kominfo. Finally, Valve has registered with Kominfo and today the Steam block has been opened.
