Ubisoft retroactivately region-locked Valiant Hearts gift copies

it wasnt region locked you dumb, thats why we bought it 3 keys,and now ubishit put region locked in it

if you'd buy it for these 3 keys (or even cheaper, I paid less) and activate it you'd still have a working copy in your library :> I'm playing it right now and it's great :>

what's so low about it? the brand new game on day it comes out costs 15 cents due to price error. They do honor copies that got activated - I for one cas still play it, all they do is block ppl who tried to exploit price bug even further by hoarding copies to resell them.

Yes, fuck the developers who got shafted because of a pricing error on the Russian Steam store selling copies of their new game for only what, 7 cents?

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing about stupid greedy people on the internet who would say exactly that.

The gift clearly stated RU on it when I was accepting the trade, so the risk was clear, but one worth taking for the cost in my opinion.

Luckily I activated mine.

you should do it yesterday ;p great game btw ;p

ya retroactively locking is extremely unfair (though maybe acceptable in this case because of price glitch) but steam hides behind their subscriber agreement. On the other hand, contracts can only protect you to a point.

it was saying RU instead of ROW tho ;) do you live in RU? if no then you should be wary that it may only work in RU ;)

it doesn't rise anyflag. but if you're reported you risk ban. Also there is a risk that if in any case you will contact support in the future they may review your account, see VPN activation and permaban you. not really worth it over a 15 cents game.

Don't fucking use VPN.

You (probably) also need to use VPN every time you want to play this game, otherwise steam just tells you that you are in wrong region. I got fucked with a DmC ROW key once (I didn't activate it right away and about month later ROW wasn't so ROW anymore), activated it with VPN, played it few times, but in the end I got tired messing with different VPN services (decent ones need payed subscription). Last week I bought the correct region version from Steam and contacted the support to help me to remove the wrong version from my account so that I could add the correct one there. Now everything is nice and comfy - no need to mess with VPN.

I saw one guy asking for 6 keys lel

+1 fuck they

Already got profit from it.

Don`t worry about russian sellers, those gifts sells in RU\CIS countries for the same price without problems.

Poor Dimitri, I will cry many salty tears for him

There wasn't any lock on the game when it was bought, so I have to disagree with you on this "that was okay thing to do, ubishit" thing.

Yeah, people could buy it for 2 keys (~$5), now they have to pay all $15 for it.
Thank god ubisoft fixed that.

Just crack out uplay.

Haha. I'd go with PS3. But that's mainly because I've spent the last couple of days playing PS3 games so I might be biased. :P

Since you've already got it on PC, I'd say just go with that and give the PS3 code to a friend with a PS3. Although, I suppose you should know how well it controls on PS3, for review purposes.

There's probably a lot of people that traded a few keys/gifts for this game and didn't know anything about the whole pricing thing.
