The Ministry of Communication and Digital (Kemkomdigi) has confirmed that Indonesia Game Rating System (IGRS) displays on the Steam platform are not verified government results (05/04).

Monitoring efforts reveal that these ratings currently rely on internal self-declaration mechanisms rather than official Indonesian verification processes.

Public Misunderstanding and Child Protection Risks

Director of Digital Ecosystem Development, Sonny Hendra Sudaryana, stated that inaccurate classification information directly impacts public safety in digital spaces.

"The circulating ratings are not official IGRS classifications, which could lead to public misunderstandings regarding age suitability," said Sudaryana.

Regulatory Framework and Provider Obligations

Digital business entities are legally required to provide accurate and clear information under the Revision of the ITE Law (Law No. 1 of 2024).

Current regulations, including Minister of Communication and Informatics Regulation No. 2 of 2024, mandate the inclusion of official game classifications for all providers.

Clarification Demands and Potential Administrative Sanctions

Kemkomdigi will formally request clarification from Steam to ensure the platform complies with national regulations and protects younger users.

The Ministry warned that administrative sanctions will be issued against any electronic system providers found to be in violation of these legal standards.
