What's been happening in Vietnam? First there was that thing with movies now this? They seemed to be on the up and up a few years ago.
Steam is not paying taxes in Vietnam, and they have no official employee in Vietnam, that serves as a contact person. The latter is required by law. E.g. Shops need to have a shield on their front, giving contact information, and communicate clearly who's behind this shop (private person or company).
No, read that on r/steam from a vietnamese user, and it's my first-hand experience regarding Germany. Still, might be wrong. But people tend to jump on South-east Asian (SEA)-countries, smelling suppression, and malintent, when often it's common law, even in western countries, but newly enforced in SEA countries
Doesn't seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.
