KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has blocked access to popular gaming platform Steam following controversy over the video game "Fight of Gods". Steam users reported being unable to access the Steam store from both mobile and desktop platforms on Friday. On Thursday, Salleh said that the commission would be asking Steam to disable downloads of the game for Malaysian users within 24 hours. The controversial video game features the likes of Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha as playable characters. According to Salleh, the video game, developed by a Taiwanese gaming studio, had degraded religions and religious leaders and posed a huge threat to racial unity and harmony.
