My country is hated by Steam.

try trading ^^

Suck it up? Might also be a gfwl issue. Isn't dirt 3 that? Or licensing since east block often has other distributors and steam has to have a deal in place with them.

Dont buy games, trade them (cheaper and better)

Dirt 3 uses GFWL and GFWL is not supported in Romania.

Not sure what Steam has to do with that, but if you want to direct your anger towards them feel free.

Same for me, but, fortunately, i already own Dirt 3.

try trading at steamtrades, steamforums.

Same for me, damn GFWL.

I suggest Romania to conquer USA and take over Steam. It seems the most reasonable solution.

Be "in" any country you want. At least if authentication is IP based.

And also you'll have to pay for that missing Dirt3.
Individual price - 12,90, bundle - 15,63...

Nope , Steam prices for Valve games are cheaper for East Europeans .

i don't think that it only applies to steam to be honest, but you can always just try and bypass this by using a safe vpn from another country, that way you could purchase any game you want

Same for me and i live in other country, simply trade for them or don't buy them at all.

Either trade games or make friends :)
But some may be unavailable for a good reason (region locks, etc). Not sure about Dirt 3

I was 100% Sure it's Romania. Stay cool bro, we're in the same country. IK that feeling. We're the most hated country in my opinion :)

Welcome to the club!

Even if the game is unavailable for you in the Steam Store, usually you will be able to buy it from other online retailers without a problem (GetGames, Amazon, Greenman Gaming, Gamersgate, etc.). I don't live in Romania, but this worked for me for games that were otherwise unavailable in my region (I'm giving you a stern look, Sega!). You might have to wait a while until they go on sale, though.

buy from other sites
GMG have some similar deals

That's it bro -.- (i'm from Romania too) .Be happy that we're more lucky that the germans (no more zombie games) or chineese (dota 2 is blocked). :)

is this a valid casus belli to invade Valve?

If you have the wallet to buy it then you can just trade keys. That's the same thing. :)

I used to think there are only Russian players, who have serious problems with the availability of steam games...
For example, we also have a lot of unavailable titles, and I think there will never be the answer WHY. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
The Secret World, Rage, Sacred 2 Gold, Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey... And these are only the ones I remember. I could also name Tera, but, afaik, it's almost nowhere available.

Most everyone seems to be blaming Valve or the United States for this problem but usually it's because of content restrictions and/or currency issues with that country. Instead of blaming everyone else why don't you ask your government why they restrict their citizens like this

• or move?

Cumpara de pe eMag, costa doar 19 lei (4.37€), pretul normal (fata de 20€ cat e pe Steam fara reducere) si cica ar fi steamworks. Nu exista motiv pentru care sa te plangi, in Romania avem cel mai ieftin Dirt 3, chiar daca nu-i direct de pe Steam.

Sper ca te-am lamurit, pe tine si pe ceilalti romani...

Ah, la fel si pentru Dirt Showdown (steamworks) care vad ca este la oferta pe eMag, mai erau si alte jocuri care nu-mi vin in minte acum, la fel, erau foarte ieftine fata de Steam :P

So? you can trade for what you want (if it's not region locked)
Rage, Saw: The Game, Blacklight: Tango Down etc. not available here btw

Germany is more fucked up :(
