    So if I publish a game on steam I am now a colonizer? If I am a Vietnamese citizen who downloads a game that hasn’t gone through “government scrutiny” am I now a collaborator? What if I am a Vietnamese game developer that has published directly to steam without giving a shit about whatever censorship my government is trying to implement? Should I be sent to reeducation?

      Yep, this is the mindset I was trying to describe. Thanks for making my point clear. I have seen you around too much with your anti-communist politics, so I can see through your arguments, like this one where you describe Vietnamese government in a particular manner just because they decided to protect their country’s game developers.

        What point is it you think he made clear?

        If they want to protect their developers. They would help them succeed on the global market. Make it easier for them to compete.

          When he said “government scrutiny”. He openly desires the laissez faire market nonsense to allow an opening for west to do what it always has. Vietnam has a far larger market outside of west in Asia, Africa, Russia and South Americas.

            Tell me what the “government scrutiny” is then! I have no idea except that Vietnamese game developers find it onerous. It’s a video game, how much scrutiny does it need?

            And what is you think west does that it always has? You can never say anything specific. It’s always vague nonsense.

                Ah yes, everyone else fault. Not that you come in here with the dumbest claim, refuse to explain it, and then just try to shit on everyone calling you out on your idiocy.
