Er... is there a difference between MOD/support now? lol

Careful, you could get suspended for threatening a mod

Isn't that like threatening a police officer or something?

Are you sure? Just because it's added to the current CD-Action magazine doesn't mean it's really region restricted.

What if i intend to move to Poland and marry someone just so i could redeem the key?

You should put this message up when people create giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's your responsibility to know what you give away... heck i saw people adding giveaways 2 days before CD Action hit shelves, i checked bronasium and it looked like PL version is region restricted, so i added few of em to friendlist and warned them that it will be 90% region locked so they should consider deleting giveaway and making it again if by some chance it will be non restricted version... they all kept their giveaways, people that are morons deserve punishment.

The problem is that the gifter can open a private giveaway and give it to friends and tell them to use bypass to activate, so how would SG staff know that it was region restricted?

Damn it! I bought like three region free copies for me and my friends and people are abusing this now D:

Instead of not allowing region restricted games, why not make those giveaways available only to people of that specific region? Maybe make us choose an unchangeable region or detect it through our IPs. More giveaways, more chances of winning, more happy people.

I guess if you did a private giveaway and invited people you know from the region it would work. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If we're made aware of a giveaway for a region-restricted gift, it will be deleted and the submitter will likely be suspended. We do not make exceptions. A rule is not fair and equitable if it is only applied to certain people in certain situations.

Alright, thanks for the clarification. I guess if you have a region restricted key just use it yourself or pop it up on the forum.

Even if users could be relied upon to know site policy (they can't) and to submit giveaways using a much more complex system that would have to be developed (they couldn't), which would involve creating new giveaway creation dialogues that would involve researching every possible region restriction on every game ever put out for Steam (already ridiculous) and coding this into the site, as well as something to track users' IP locations and limit their ability to enter these ridiculously overcomplicated giveaways involving an array of menus beyond the ability of many users to navigate without a lengthy, detailed guide; a difficult-to-code wizard which might well require some level of installation into users' local content; or some other similar nonsense (which won't even be terribly useful since many users will fail to make the correct choices during giveaway creation anyway), well, I'll just stop there. The whole proposition is patently absurd.
Tl;DR: Even coding several times what has already been put into the site can't make people create giveaways properly. Ignorance and deception can't be stopped with the technology available to us.

I'm wondering the same thing. I thought about getting an extra key from Nuuvem but I might rethink that if I can't give it away here.

God damn it. I deleted a giveaway about 10 mins ago - thanks to nerka99 for infos.
So... No Blades of Time for you SteamGifts community :(
The last one "Front mission..." was successfuly delivered. How to check if key is region restricted? (for further giveaways from CD-Action keys)
Comment has been collapsed.
no problem ;)
google bronasium "gamename" PL
if at the bottom of the page you will find:
Extended Info onlyallowrunincountries = PL
PurchaseRestrictedCountries = PL
AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries = 1
it's usually no go since CD Action will most likelly give PL version of game if it exist;)

You could in theory join certain group that was made just to give PL region restricted keys. I tried arguing with them that it's against rules but they were a bit rude and said they had blessing of admin which nick starts with "C" to do that... so it looks like every admin/mod/support member might have diffrent opinion about region restricted giveaways :P. I once asked wbarton and he said i should not make even private giveaway for polish people only to give away my restricted key.

Robisz to w polskiej grupie to ich to nic nie obchodzi. Żaden Polak nie będzie miał do ciebie o to pretensji.

Actually it matters, no region restricted keys are allowed

While most of these keys have required approval from the support in the past, this new batch is region-restricted, hence disallowed entirely. Giveaways will be deleted on sight. Multiple copies or re-submission will result in a suspension. Thank you.
