The result of this has been the blocking of Steam completely in Malaysia, rather than just Fight of Gods. In Malaysian newspaper The Star, The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission stated, “Malaysians respect all cultural and religious sensitivities, and the sale and distribution of the religiously insensitive and blasphemous games must be stopped immediately.” However, Muhammed is not included as a playable character in the game. Malaysia is a largely Muslim nation and there are rules against the depiction of the prophet Muhammed in the Islam religion. According to Kotaku, the Malaysian government, which has been known for its censorship including the banning of Grand Theft Auto V, has recently banned Fight of Gods.
