Dark Souls Region Lock

You can still buy a non-russian(unless u r in CIS) version from a trader and play it.

I am from Argentina and the game is locked beause of the usless soon to be dead GFWL. I traded a steam copy with another user and activated it in my account. I was able to play the game online without any issue. I am pretty sure keys from other stores work as the restriction is to sell it not to activate it, i don`t really understand the logic behind this.,

as i know there is no region lock for keys only tradable Darksouls has region lock ( if dosent change anything )

Yes. It's not available in my region according to the steam store. I bought a gift copy through trade, and I'm playing it. Just make sure you don't buy a Russian copy.

If you can't buy it in your country, just download a cracked version, nobody can blame you.

It's not supposed to be available in my country, but I bought a code from Amazon and activated it in my account without problems

You can thank GfWL for the region lock/ unavailability

Just buy it on a third party retailer and you are done. I got mine on amazon.

To be honest you're better off getting it for a console. The game is great but the port was terrible. The developers couldn't make a decent port which is why I'll be holding off my purchase of Dark Souls 2 until I see how the PC port is. Either way GFWL will be shut down soon and the game will be dead unless it gets patched out and if it hasn't been patched out by now most likely it won't be patched out, so if you get your hands on it play it fast otherwise you won't be able to.
