Important Update 10/11/2012

The publisher change again his minds. The RU Retail version can't be activate outside of Russia! If you try to this with a VPN connection, you violate against the SSA and maybe get ban to your Steam account! Don't buy a cheap Borderlands 2 cdkey from any net shop from same reason!

Borderlands 2 Season Pass (Steam-версия) get a green light! If you buy now get the DLC's both for Russian and Worldwide version! Don't buy it if you have a non Russian edition Borderlands 2 base game!
ru retail cdr


Information below is outdated!

Publisher 2K Games change his minds from RU retail version! Not any more Russian language and territory (Russia only) restriction! You can activate from any country and get a Worldwide Version. VPN not necessary for activation! Languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish.

If you purchase from Russia Steam Store, you get a region restricted version! You need purchase (retail version) from a legal Russian game shop!

Yes, you can play with any player if you run the Worldwide Version! Haven't any difference between the Worldwide and USA / UK / DE / FR version! You can download and run the game without any complications!

Steam cdr.

Shop. Use Google translate if Russian not your native language! :)
Don't use Google Translate in purchase process! Just use the original page. The price is 549,01 RUB.

yuplay.ru is 100% legal on-line game shop. Unfortunately can't purchase with PayPal. You can purchase with Visa card. Russia have a own PayPal, the name is WebMoney. Sometimes your credit / debit card not approved from security reason. Just call your bank support, they can resolve problem!

www.cddiski.ru isn't legal / official on-line game shop. Use at only your own risk!

Just bought it from Germany at yuplay for 13,62€. Downloading now, hoping the game does not get deleted ;D. But it is a retail-key, so... it's like I was in Russia for my holidays and bought the game in a shop. That can't be against the TOS, right?

100% legal and approved by Valve. You not used VPN until activation procession. You can't violate again TOS.

Looks like you get a Russian boxed version from a Russian friend to your birthday. Any problem? :)

I made a thread in the help forums asking if the site yuplay is trustworthy and if i can redeem russian keys without getting banned and a mod came in, locked my forum within 6 mins, and told me it's illegal to do so.

I also sent a pm to the mod and got more info:

I haven't done it, I was just wondering since there has been an uproar on the internet(i.e. steamgifts) where people were doing this. Is redeeming russian keys on steam a bannable offense?[end quote]

Accounts have been known to be suspended for activating the keys outside of the restricted areas. Some of them are games that can not be played unless you continue to violate the Steam Terms Of Service, also a suspend-able activity.

If the games are gifted to them and they choose to do this, then their accounts are at risk. It is possible Steam support may just remove the game after the user contacts them explaining the situation, which of course, they track and can verify where it came from.

Understand these limitations are put in Steam because of the Publishers licensing agreements.

Well, I was under the impression that it's legit to redeem Russian (or any other country's) keys, and have heard so from many other people who actually went and bothered to read the ToS. Unless they changed it, idk wtf that mod is talking about.

hes also not an official mod. just a volunteer mod. the mod could have thought he meant activating it using a VPN or something(which is against the TOS but you dont have to here)

You can not legally redeem Russian keys outside of Russia.

OK. You have birthday and get a Russian retail box version from a Russian friend. That's illegal? NO!

But think again! If not legally redeem Russian keys outside of Russia, why can you activate from your country? Why can't denied Steam the activation process? They supported an illegal action? Really?

Completely different case if you use VPN for activation. It's illegal action by SSA. But the normal redeem code is 100% legal!

Steam check your ip every time when you buy a game from Steam Store or just redeem code. If you haven't permitted rights (you have in different country), your request is denied. That's part of normal business.

Just guessing but since its a Russian site is it a multi language copy or just RU?
Since borderlands 2 worked fine i want to pick up a skyrim copy but only if its in english.

Russian Skyrim is not region free. It is region locked, and checks for location during key redemption and during play, so you would need to use a VPN to redeem and play, which violates Steam's ToS. This Borderlands 2 works, is ROW, and does not require a VPN, different thing here. You're better off waiting for the next TES game to come out and watch for a Skyrim sale if you want a cheaper copy.

If I can help some of you has to decide...

Well, I just bought, pay with Mastercard, redirect at RBK Money, I put my CC information, after that I was redirected to a MasterCard Securecode page, a bot call me on my phone to give me a code, the payment is validated, I immediately got my key for Borderlands 2 RU, this key gives access to the RU AND ROW version. My game (ROW version, don't care about RU version) works fine and I can use it in French version, so probably in EN, DE, IT, JP and ES too.

Considering risk and gain I've checked shop gamepage and there is info for B2:
Регион: Россия, СНГ (means: Region - Russia, Commonwealth of Independent States)
So even if it allows you to activate it, in case of any trouble with steam you may be in deep sh*t (query mining non-RU users activating RU B2 is easy to run).

You got this as gift? This is RU version, so it's your problem.
You bought it from RU site? Same as above - info was on game page.

So you may gain little and loose a lot - as in casino - take the risk or leave it it's your choice. I pass - have lot of games on pile of shame and can play B2 after sale.

The support says that it alright to activate this version and there's no risk of getting the account banned, but removing the RU version only is not possible. When they remove things they don't remove it by the apps id, but rather by the subs id(subscription).
