I bought on G2A some games for this community
but after payment I found that the game has region lock
The regions are:
MM [DE] [EU] [NEU]
the support tell me that means:
Europ​e​, USA, ​C​anada... right?

But here on SG I see only this:
None
China
Hong Kong + Taiwan
India
Poland
RU + CIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan)
SE Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)
South America (Argentina, Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela)
Turkey

How to select the correct region then ?

They consider as ROW region. You need to choose NONE when you want to create GA.

It stands for "Rest Of the World". Those activate globally, with few exceptions.

g2a on eBay says; Germany, Europe, US, Canada

It's region locked. Do not make a "none"/ROW giveaway.

NEU makes sense since Norway is actually a separate region, but it is almost always put into ROW.

Not necessarily. Although it is considered rare, but Europe and North America can have region-locked keys which cannot be activated anywhere else. And Norway actually is a store region, they even have their own prices (it even used to be the cheapest ROW one along with Japan, before the Kiwis took over).

I don't know about Europe and North America games restrictions. Users who are from NA & Europe will help you in this case.

Why?

It should be Row 99% of the time. However, there are a small few (Deep Silver mostly) that do lock to a particular Row region (such as NA only). You should be fine though.

hola, como yo también soy de argentina te explico, si tienes un juego sin región lock significa que es ROW abreviatura "rest of world" para todo el mundo le funciona key o gift seleccionas "none" y con región depende que bloqueo de diferente región, si es de latina América seleccionas "south latin american" así de fácil. y es una mierda el bloqueo que tenemos si compramos igual que estados unidos me refiero de los mismos precios de ahí que aca te bloquea. un saludo

deja un aviso en la descripción del "giveaway" que no se activa en Alemania, que pasa lo mismo con el wolfestein: la nueva orden, si es row funciona bien en latino América sin problemas, si creas un giveaway solo para latino América participan los latinos menos el resto, ¿entendió?

Welcome to G2A, where what you read and what you get may (and a bit too often are) not even remotely be the same.
If the key is for a Deep Silver (and, in some cases, a Capcom) game, then it is indeed locked to Europe only and trying to add it anywhere else would result in the usual Steam error. So, you either make a ROW giveaway and pray that a European will win it (which is a slim chance), otherwise you either have to take a not received (and lose a giveaway slot) or have to buy an actual ROW key.
Again, welcome to G2A. Hope you had a pleasant experience. Don't worry: sooner or later most everyone burns themselves with something bought there.

If he makes it now, I'd give you a 50 to 85 per cent chance that a CIS person will win it. Based on the 1000+ keys I have given away, I can safely say that the low levels are mostly completely taken over by them.
A high-level one… that may be another question. Chances could be better there.

Even less now. The ruble is practically in freefall still. Unless they really can come up with an agreement with the Arabs at the current summit they are planning, Steam could essentially set everything under 10 USD base price to F2P for them.

Ah. In this case, go ahead. Mad Max has a separate version for Germany, a separate CIS edition, and it is locked from purchase from Japan. Otherwise, a non-CIS and non-German-only key is fully ROW.

Okay, I think a very short explanation on what you see at that SteamDB link.

So, in short, you have a key which can be activated in any country, except Japan.

I think you can activate it in Germany (DE) and Europe (EU).
And NEU is no region and only means that the state of the product is new!
Overall I think the game is without any region restrictions.
