Fortnite Ban in Indonesia: Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite is among the biggest gaming entities in the industry. If they are getting banned, there is a major reason behind it. We have witnessed games getting banned before, but usually, it is due to their ultra-violence gameplay. Recently, Companies that failed to register with Kominfo (Communication Ministry) were blocked in Indonesia.
This includes services such as Steam, Epic Games, Fortnite, Yahoo, Valve, Paypal, and more. Read on for the latest details on Epic Games ban after failing to comply with regulations. For future updates on Gaming and esports, follow InsideSport.IN.
Companies that failed to register with Kominfo are now being blocked in Indonesia.

Fortnite, one of the most popular Battle Royale games, is no longer available in Indonesia. The famous Battle Royale game has been banned since its creator, Epic Games, failed to comply with new regulations of the Government of Indonesia.
Indonesia became the second country to lose access to Fortnite as the title was first banned in China. Kominfo has already reached out to the companies that failed to comply with new regulations to ensure compliance and reverse the ban.
Quick update for those asking-
The blocks are not permanent, assuming the companies register and comply with the regulation, and Kominfo has already reached out to these companies to ensure compliance and reverse the block.

Kominfo has apologized to those impacted but says it was forced to make the move due to non-compliance. Famous fund transfer platform, Paypal will be unblocked for 5 days to allow people to manage/withdraw money from their account. Kominfo also has a world with Valve who plan to register, so Steam might be unblocked soon.
Fans urge Epic Games to solve the problem

As per the new regulations, every tech company that wants to operate in Indonesia will have to comply with the regulations. According to reports, Kominfo (Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication) has already reached out to the blocked companies. There might be chances that Kominfo reached out to Epic Games too. We can expect Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, to comply with the new rules.
