Hiya - I came across my first issue with a region locked key recently, and after looking at the info I've been given I'm still really confused.

Looking here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/MO8hE/humble-bundle-december-2024-humble-choice-61-6-months-for-49
"Everyone else: {sub/934243} - a "Tier 1" countries sub that cannot be redeemed in RU/CIS, LATAM, SEA, TR (confirmed)"

I assume as a UK person who bought the bundle / has a sub, that's me?

Next, following the links suggests this is my version of the key: https://steamdb.info/sub/934243/

I can see a list of excluded countries, but I cannot work out how to list this key because when setting a region-restriction, there's no option for including "Tier 1", or EU only, or to set a list of excluded countries.

Should I just set it to "GB" even though technically it could also be used by whatever is meant by "Tier 1"?

As I have loads of keys and not a lot of time to research them all, should I just set them all to "GB" to be safe?

Appreciate your help!

Also as a sidenote it would be a useful amendment to the gift adding page if one could copy and paste the restricted list from steamdb, and have the site process them as exclusions (the rest are included) e.g.

"IN ID VN TH PH MY CN TW HK SG BD BT NP PK LK BS PA BZ CR SV GT HN NI VE CO GY SR GF BR PE BO PY UY AR CL EC AE QA KW SA ZA TR CN RU KZ UA AM AZ BY GE KG MD TJ TM UZ"

With such a large list of excluded countries, it is the easy way to select a preset, that works for you, e.g. "EU".
You can also select all countries and de-select the ones restricted, but that seems quite a lot of work and is prone to missing to de-select one.

Hiya - it doesn't state anywhere that "Tier 1" means EU - is that the case? I can see there are two listings for Europe - how to know which to pick? Is it just the humble bundle one so long as it's a HB sub?

My suggestion of "EU" was based on you being in GB.
If your key is from HB, select the HB preset.
You can add more countries that qualify, if you want, e.g. US, CA, AU.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way around it. As Oppenh4imer has suggested, select what you want or deselect what countries are restricted.

As for the key, it's available in a LOT more countries than just the EU, so selecting just the EU probably isn't going to make it easier for you, unless you want it to be even more restricted than the key implies.

EDIT: Just tried out the script - works a real treat!
