Steam has seen a country-wide ban in Malaysia after the country demanded the platform remove the new game, Fight of Gods, over religious sensitivity concerns. Just because Jesus can fight Buddha or whatever, apparently. #ZoolanderWasRight

You could've done this without the blasphemy. It doesn't make it humorous. In fact, it likely could've been much more entertaining without it. First video from The Know I've downvoted…
He's not Ashley
if that act is truly enforced Malaysia must be the most peaceful country in the world
Come for Ashley stay for John ;p
Mohammed? Muslims are gonna firebomb steam HQ mark my words.
Never forget Wolfenstein 3D and Carmageddon!
Finally Malaysia is famous again for a stupid reason XD
(Malaysian btw)
MGAG PLS POST SOMETHIN BOUT THIS
This is why i hate religious types. They can't take jokes and ruin things for everyone.
Put in muhammad but he's invisible lol
Who cares if more people bought it, they clearly don't give a damn if this game is popular or not, they just don't want it cause it's offensive.
they just dont want muhhamad DLC! and we do KNEW why right?
Malaysia also wants people to hunt down Atheist bloggers. So much for their claims on multi-religious harmony.
My favorite. If the game offends you, just don't buy it. But if a game offends liberals, it must be wiped from the face of the earth and the creator is no longer allowed to work.
Even if there was a hint of humor in that game, you'd have to admit, Jesus is some kind action hero right there. Seriously.
IF they add Muhammad to the game the game will probably be banned in the middle east all the middle east but Israel for depicting their prophet which is a sin in and of itself in Islam
Muhammad. Really! They are going to piss off a lot of people by doing this, there was a shooting in like Texas cause there was a drawing contest to see who could do the best drawing of Muhammad. They are going to start a huge fire with this game.
I agree that the ban s stupid, but so is the game…
MFW people find a video game like that offensive. L M A O
Mohammad is not a God you heretics.
Devs make a tounge-in-cheek game that they explicitly intended not to offend anyone… OFFENDS ENTIRE COUNTRY
Welcome to the early 21st century, enjoy your stay.
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!! COM'ON B- PS4 DO NOT PUSS OUT ON THIS ONE!! 🙏✊🙏💪👍
I hope they add Korean "Buff" Jesus as an unlockable or something along those lines.
Are there any Finnish gods though? Ukko Ylijumala would wipe the floor with any other thunder god at any time.
sounds spurious…
On the other hand, how many people have a PC with internet in Malaysia? Like 50?
Is SMITE banned?
Will totally buy when Allah and Muhammad DLC releases.
What is so wrong about this game? It's about time characters from fictional novels were represented in a fighting game!
Muhammad will be a whole censor bar! It will be epic!
Good job Malaysia, I would never have heard of this game if not for this controversy and now I'm gonna recommend it to an Atheist friend I have in Malaysia.
the point of this game is to offend and you guys backing it so strongly is weird. Is the game gtood? is it funny? does it add anthing new to the fighting genge? or does it just make atheists ginys tingle. grow up stop start'n drama
SPOILER : Butthurt athiest below the comment section!
Snobby comments from a ruined generation that mocks anything that doesn't appeal to them.. The fact is the game is highly offensive. Same way with other parodies, yet it's okay because it pushes and reflects you're opinion that religion is false. Yeah it's easy to ignore but it's also easy to not even create something so ignorant . "Oh it's okay it's meant to literally mock you're religion but dont be offended".. respect literally has no meaning anymore.
Real Malay Officials: "Sire, we heard about this thing called the internet!" "What is this devilry, BAN IT!" "Wait, sire, i haven't told you the news yet…" "BAN IT! BAN IT!" " Okay…"
