Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users Malay-speaking users

Steam added Bahasa Melayu (Malay) with a BETA designation to its language selection options in the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The agreement previously offered Thai but not Malay; the updated version removes Thai from the standard language list and adds Malay marked as experimental. This expands language support but indicates the Malay translation is not yet final.
