Steam Community Blocked in China
According to Greatfire.org, a website dedicated to the censorship of the internet in China, the steam community URLs are being blocked entirely. Chinese users cannot participate in any community interaction. They can still purchase and play Steam games, at least.


I’m sorry for my lack of consistency as of late. I’ve had to focus on work more lately, and my personal site has been put on the sidelines due to that. This will possibly continue until the new year. The holidays are a busy time. Thanks for your patience, have a great night!
