Metal Gear Rising is ridiculously region locked in South America

Yup, you have the most ridiculous Steam pricing/region locking ever I think. Both highly expensive and region locked. Really lolz.

Not to mention that our wages are 1/3 or 1/4 compared to rest of the EU.

So just because it's the real world is OK? Do you think I don't know how the real work is like? What the FUCK are you talking about? What do you mean you don't know what I'm "crying" about? Can you at least read the thread before posting such nonsense?

If I buy it from steam I will NOT be able to play it anywhere else but South America. I have no need for a cheaper price, I was waiting for the sale to start to fork the 20 bucks but now I'm unable to. Amazon has the same price but I can't use it because they (Obviously) don't accept Paypal. My only way to get a ROW version is via trading...

...which opens the question: WHY SHOULD I TRADE FOR THIS WHEN THE STORE HAS THE SAME PRICE PEOPLE PAY FOR A ROW COPY?? Why in the world am I supposed to accept a region and trading block when the price is EXACTLY THE SAME as the ROW copies from the so-called First World countries? Why is the ENTIRELY of South America affected by a locking that was obviously meant to be applied for Brazil only since they're the only ones with a lower price?

Do you HONESTLY see NOTHING wrong with that?

And this is the kind of attitude that gets you nowhere. Is not about what I can do but about what all of us who are affected by the same issue can do. If nobody else raises their hands then nothing will happen. If complains start to pile up then shit is bound to happen.

I already did my part. If nobody else does shit then I'll call it a day and be done with this game. Not gonna buy it until it hits 80% off. I have almost 500 games to play I can fucking wait until that happens.

simple, don't buy the fucking game.

Do you understand what's going on? This is not a matter of regional pricing. The price is EXACTLY THE SAME as the ROW copies. Read the DAMN thread before posting. It's not so hard, trust me.

The price is the same though. And this is actually the first time this particular restriction has been implemented.

that skey key doesnt work for me :(

Heaven has regional restrictions too, you didnt check appid?

Estas restricciones tambien estan activadas en Rusia. Cualquier copia comprada desde Rusia solo se podra jugar en Rusia y otros paises cercanos de la zona.

Por culpa de esos "lo habría comprado a un trader ruso" es que existen estas restricciones regionales genio, por culpa de tipos como tu existe esto, paga limpiamente lo que te corresponde, deja de ser una puta sanguijuela, cuando están las ofertas de por si los juegos están baratísimos para que más?? La avaricia rompe el saco y en este caso ya lo rompió.

It's not the same thing. You can't SEE it on the store (And yes, that's because of GFWL, don't worry it will be removed soon... well maybe in a few months), that's a normal thing on steam. The issue here is that MGR has the SAME price as USA yet you can ONLY play it in South America if you buy it from here (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, etc).

This region locking in particular is a new one (A new string on steam gift database) but the main issue is that we're paying the same yet get a product that is not ROW like it's supposed to. Furthermore Konami is literally discriminating the entirely of South America just because Brazil has a slightly lower price. Instead of just region locking the Brazilian copies they region locked all the copies from SA.

Nope, they didn't at least for me xd

It's still there. They have less than 24 hours to remove the locking and actually sell more copies. Sadly it's Konami so they won't do shit. Oh well, their loss.

Just me or this guy is not reading at all? The issue here is that you can't play the game outside of South America even though you pay the same price as USA, Europe, Canada and other places! In Dollars and all.

The region lock has been put to us ONLY because of Brazil's lower price. Brazil is the ONLY country in the entire continent with a different price yet we all are affected by the region locking anyway. Why should we pay EXACTLY THE SAME PRICE as USA yet get an inferior version of the game? Why should I NOT be able to play it ANYWHERE when I'm paying the price of a ROW copy? This is the first time something like this happens (Maybe outside of some country in the CIS that had no price reduction yet had region locking anyway) and it's setting a really bad precedent for a whole continent that's getting discriminated because of one country alone.

It is a mere inconvenience set to a whole continent for the sake of being an inconvenience. There's no reason for such gifting AND play lock when we pay the same price as the people who can buy a ROW copy. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE? Are you BLIND?

Is it blocked as in "I can't see it on the store" or as in "I can buy it but I can only play it in certain countries"?

The former is a common occurrence among GFWL games and is not what we're talking about here. The latter is the main issue. We're able to buy it, but we can only play it if we are in our continent. Konami is treating the entirely of South America as if we were getting price discounts like Rusia or Brazil does, yet we're actually not getting a discount at all and we're not even paying in our own currency but in dollars.

The main issue is not where you can redeem them but if you can play them outside of your continent. Those keys are probably ROW anyway so yeah, it's a good solution if you have the means to buy from Nuuvem or Amazon.

They are still the same thing as you get on Steam because there is no separate SubID for them.

To be fair your country actually has a lower price. It's because of Brazil's price that the game has been locked in the entire continent. This only shows how incompetent Konami really is. They can't tell the difference between Brazil with their official steam store, and the rest of the continent that has no official valve support nor store.
