It would be nice if on giveaways here there was a flag next to creator's username showing the country they selected as per the region setting in their user account here (and mouseover to get country name). It would make things a lot easier as these bundles with region-locked games are causing havoc and you can't depend on the users to get it right. First the Capcom bundle, now this. I have to manually check each user to try and figure out what country they bought the keys from...... and A LOT of them are giveaways where I won't be able to activate the key despite it being open to everyone. It's a mess.

I bought the bundle in EU and all redeemed fine from a US IP, other than Gat out of Hell.
Two of the subscription names mentioned EU in them ("Deadlight Directors Cut EU", "Mighty No. 9 EU"), but they weren't actually locked from redeeming other than GooH. Still smart though to tag your giveaways anyways.

Yes, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is region locked.

I bought from the EU (UK) but only see "Deadlight Directors Cut" and "Mighty No. 9" on the download page. But trying to create a gift link gives me a bunch country codes. Where do you see "Deadlight Directors Cut EU"?

EU keys are actually RoW except Saints Row: Gat out of Hell so part of that information is wrong.

I'm new to understanding these stupid region locks. Is there any way of telling they are or are not restricted other than going on peoples experiences (and ignoring what Humble says)?

You need to redeem the key to know the SubID, and then query SteamDB. To know the SubID after redeeming the key (if you don't use ASF) you can use the console
licenses_for_app - <appid> : shows active licenses for appid
With that command you get the SubID you activated in your account.

Ok, so you can't know for sure until you've redeemed the key. Thanks for the links though.

Tell the GA creator that it's region locked and that you need a reroll please.

Ok, i read it but im pretty dumb. Can someone explain me what region locks will the keys have if im from Argentina? Will the be considered in the "[LATAM] Latin America (Exclusive Countries):"? Or will the only be activated on Argentina?
Thanks

According to HB, if you purchased it from Argentina then everything except Agents of Mayhem works anywhere.
Also when you click on the "Gift to a Friend" button, you will get a warning if your gift link is restricted or not.

Its quite funny to pay same price as everyone and get region locked keys.

Pretty sure for this bundle every country has region lock including countries that usually don't like the US.

i wanted to give away Saints Row 2 because I already have it. And it says that it is not redeemeble in Germany.
How should I make the giveaway ? I already screwed up and had to delete one giveaway because I accidentely checked that the key IS for Germany. But actually it`s other way around.
Do I have to mark something else in the region ?

Pesky region locks, only make things confusing for us, right?
You can create a normal non-restricted giveaway and warn people in the description. Or you can create an invite only giveaway and share the link on the forums if you prefer, as people are more likely to read the info about DE lock that way ;)

Yep, I did that for NBA 2K17. Created a discussion topic and invite only giveaway and clearly stated key was EU only in both. I still had to re-roll!

Ouch, that sucks O.o I did that with my Kane & Lynch giveaway some time ago, and luckily all was good.

Ok, I'm a little dumb. Can anyone explain what this means?
Risen 3: Asia, Brazil, EU, RU, ROW.
Does it mean that the game can only be activated in those countries no matter where it was bought from, OR that it can only be activated in the aforementioned countries IF it was bought with a country's IP?
For example If I buy the bundle in EU, my giveaway MUST be EU only?
Thanks!

I think what it means is if a person in Brazil buys it, they get a key redeemable only in Brazil. Same with the RU, same with Asia, same with EU. Anyone in the countries not listed in the defined regions for that game gets ROW, and is redeemable everywhere EXCEPT Asia, Brazil, EU, RU.

Well....the Saints Row Bundle just like Humble Capcom Rising Bundle has a lot region locked. ;

When you create or enter a giveaway, check the region information first! :P
