Did anyone activate Sleeping Dogs in Germany? Works?

did we german customer get the normal edition of sleeping dogs because the definite version is ip blocked in germany or is it just mislabeled?

Can anybody please confirm that it is Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition? If so, it is geo-blocked in Germany, so no activation and no starting it up with a german IP.

Did someone know if the Key activates outside Germany or is it a German Key ???
i bought it from Germany!

What the heck is our (Germany's) problem with the game's definitive edition?

Can someone not from Germany tell me if Sleeping Dogs only shows up as "Sleeping Dogs" or "Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition" on the key redemption page? Because I bought the bundle with a German IP while not being German myself and if they gave me a Standard Edition key because of it I am going to be pissed...

EDIT: HB support replaced the key for me :)

Just to get this straight here: Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is on List A in Germany. So it's 18+ and they are not allowed to advetise it. And yeah that's it. Germans are allowed to buy it, own it and play it. This is just on Humble Bunde and SquareEnix in this case.

edit turning down the language ;P

Man, this is so confusing. So, in terms of giveaways, there's no need to exclude Germany?

Germans have been scammed once again. I'd rather have some Store credit instead of a different game which is region-locked for Germany. I'll try contacting the Humble Bundle support and hope for the best.

Not if you're from Germany because the Definite Edition can only be activated using VPN. The key provided if you're from Germany is the regular German low violence version of the game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/202170/ Anyone outside of Germany should get the Definite Edition, though.

as myrsan allready wrote: Steam doesn't have a system for age verification -> So they can't sell list A stuff over steam. Because of that SquareEnix made it not available for germans. SquareEnix also blocked AFAIK the activation on Steam, even when you bought it offline( there are other games we can't buy over steam, but can activate it). So you would have to exclude Germany, because (again) SquareEnix.

I'm from Germany and for some reason Sleeping Dogs doesn't appear as "Owned" to me anymore, even though I own the German version on Steam. I wonder if they replaced the Steam key.

Retail price for Sleeping Dogs low violence edition in Germany is 19.99€.

Maybe because I was in the Germany at the time and wasn't expecting such nonsense? And no need to be rude.

No need to randomly accuse people of shit you know nothing about? If only they had my billing address and could tell that I am not from Germany.... Oh wait they do...

yeah i know. mr. shifty and The Long Dark and Qantum Break are really good Games, but Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs are old Games, i have them since ages haha :) and we in germany only got the normal Sleeping Dogs without Definitve Edition :(

Do i need to make a region locked giveaway for sleeping dogs and exclude Germany?

Thanks for the info, no surprise there. It's not comparable with MouseWithBeer's situation (and prossibly mine in the future) though, which is what I was interested in: not living in Germany, but having bought this one bundle from a German IP (e.g. while on a business trip).

You could always buy bundles with a VPN actually (and I would have done it with the monthly too if I only knew). I bought the Dead Rising one with a Romanian VPN a few months ago because I also had the amazing luck of being in Germany at time it was live. And while I bet it looks sketchy now, I swear to fucking god I am actually Slovenian and not German :D
