A few days ago we wrote about Fight of Gods – obviously comic fighter, where the gods and other representatives of different religions are fighting. Unfortunately, not all people on this planet have the right sense of humor, so some believers decided just in case to be offended.
Fight of Gods attracted the attention of religious leaders of Malaysia. They said in a commentary for The Sun that the game walks on thin ice and could cause unrest in the country. In addition, gods in Fight of Gods They can form an incorrect image in the minds of youth: the children, they say, will see how their beloved God defeats everyone else, and will consider him much more powerful than this god really is.
State religion in Malaysia – nongamstop-casinos.uk Islam. At the moment in Fight of Gods There is no Allah or, say, the prophet Muhammad, but the developers from the studio Digital Crafter They are going to expand the list of characters and specify the community who is missing in the fighting. That is, the heroes of Islam can still appear in the game. So far this did not happen, the religious leaders of Malaysia and demanded from the authorities to ban Fight of Gods.
The authorities obeyed, but they blocked not a separate game, but in general the entire Steam store in Malaysia.
The publisher PQUBE LIMITED And herself Valve. Pqube claims that Fight of Gods chooses a humorous approach to religion in the same manner in which television, cinema, theater and books do it. The game does not promote specific views and does not set itself the goal of offending someone. Pqube advocates for freedom of choice: do not want to play in Fight of Gods – Do not play. However, the company still respects the rules and censorship in any regions.
Well Valve reported that she was already dealing with Fight of Gods. Steam owners seized the game from the sale (apparently, only in Malaysia – everything is in Russia in Russia), contacted developers and are trying to start negotiations with the Malaysian authorities.
The residents of the country still have access to their Steam libraries – the government only blocked the store. However Valve will try to resolve the situation so that the store continues its work in the standard mode.
