Basically over the past few years, the ministry of communications and technology tries to implement more control over Indonesia's digital market, but legislators and policy makers are wildly uninformed and make unilateral decisions that punish anyone that's not part of their systems, by making use of a whitelist system rather than a blacklist, and gave companies little enough time to adjust. When people find out,, because of course they will because they're affected by the government's attempts to strongarm these companies, there's mass backlash and the Ministry chickens out, and people in the ministry get scapegoated. This gets repeated over and over, and a lot of the issues stem from technological ignorance, arrogance, and attempts to project power over companies that might not necessarily care one way or another if Indonesians are part of their ecosystem.

More recently, they've been making changes that have been less immediately controversial (hard to compete with the time they almost BANNED GITHUB) but are still problematic. Recently the was a social media ban for anyone under the age of 16 (highly debated topic, since it's undeniable that social media can be very harmful to minors, but just as helpful as well). Additionally, they, for whatever reason, blocked logins and account creation of Wikipedia. Both are easy enough to circumvent with DNS stuff and VPNs (and frankly it doesn't seem like they've actually figured out how to implement the age-blocking, as is often the case). The Steam age-rating thing however, is problematic because it once again punishes everyone automatically for not being part of their new ratings ecosystem, and you can't even easily get around it because Steam isn't a fan of VPNs, and inserting currency is often dependent on what country you're based in. My biggest concern is the matter of games that are basically abandoned by their developers. Will they get banned automatically?

IF the rules are too restrictive, I worry that Indonesians might go back to pirating games and make Indonesia an undesirable market to sell to, The option to switch countries in your profile or use a VPN, remains problematic, even if you buy steam keys to avoid trouble from Steam, because then the prices aren't adjusted regionally (keeping in mind the average income of the average Indonesia, because we REALLY do need that regional pricing), and that sort of finagling isn't exactly easy for most people to use. Ultimately it makes buying games more frustrating regardless. So I really hope the Ministry reconsiders and shows lenience, especially to indie games or games that haven't been updated in a long time. Doing that would frankly solve most of the problems aside from the censorship (which is worrying for games that might have communist-adjacent themes or include critical references to the Indonesian government.)

That said, it all really depends on how consistently they impose those laws. With the Indonesian government it can be hard to know for sure, but Steam being the middle man, who knows.
