    Steam must pay licence fees to sell games in South Africa

    The FPB will demand that Steam pay an annual licence fee to distribute its digital products in South Africa, it told MyBroadband.

    True, you only need to look at the seething pot of hatred over at MYBB about this to see that In action.
