Turkish government proposes legislation that would throttle Steam and other gaming platforms into unusability if they don't comply with demands for company data and content removal

Companies that fail to deliver their information within five days would face escalating fines and up to 90% bandwidth restriction.

Hey everyone.

Government of Türkiye is pushing a new regulation that would force Steam, Epic, PlayStation etc. to appoint local representatives. If they refuse? The whole platform gets banned.

They also want full access to user data and the power to arbitrarily ban “risky” content. This isn’t just a Turkish thing, governments everywhere are trying to pull this crap. They think blocking platforms will control us? All they are doing is driving people straight to VPNs and piracy. If you make it impossible to buy games legally, we’ll just sail the high seas for free.

Thanks for the boost, I guess.

    You need to turn off the overlay. The games not confused it’s the fact your trying to use steam with out it being there and the dll that calls for it can’t find it.

    Delete the dll or slap a txt files in the root folder with the appid and dll will see that and disengage.

    Most people just delete the dll since you arnt using it anyways and it’s wasted memory
