Too bad they don't add the monthly for restricted regions information.

Usually you will get notice, when you click the gift to friends button.
But this time it's not working on HB's Keys page, so i ask support and he said it's a bug. ;)

hahahahahahahahah!!!!! lol!!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
But they replied me every time.
Also they should take care of region lock thing. At least, put region lock info on every key/gift page, better on selling page.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, this time have a bug. So the info not show out on key page. ๐

This should be on the bundle page, so people can read it before buying.

Jesus Christ, this is some next level fuckery, Capcom are goddamn insane when it comes to region locks. Thanks for creating thread for this issue, i guess i need to stop entering Resident Evil HD REMASTER giveaways

That's why I think it would be useful to display a flag next to everyone's username on here to indicate their country of residence (as per their account setting here). I've been trying to avoid giveaways from this bundle from users in RU/CIS countries and Brazil but having to manually go to their Steam profile to check is a pain in the arse. Plus some people either don't have that information displayed, have a private profile, or just flat out lie about it for whatever reason.

Cool, i think this a good ideal!!! ๐
Hope steamgifts can add this in next update.

Since I plan on giving away Umbrella Corps I'd like to make sure I get the country thing right. I live in the US, so I use RoW, right? And the countries where it can't be activated are BR, IN, AM, AZ, BY, GE, KZ, KG, MD, RU, TJ, TM, UZ, UA?
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought the bundle from Mexico and made a GA for Umbrella Corps.
Since MX is not on the list, I should've gotten a ROW key, right?
Well, the winner of the GA was from BR and he just marked it recieved.
??

You still ask, since usually they were not suspended for it.
The 30 days guideline isn't enforced as it just helps people get away with not activating things. At most mods tell you that the suspension was served and you deliver it.

I'm not interested in this bundle, but just because it sounds a bit weird:
Resident Evil 6
RU + CIS (Exclusive Countries): GR
RoW (BLOCKED Countries): GR
Greece is a RU+CIS country? Since when? xD
Comment has been collapsed.
This is incorrect information
Activated Resident Evil 6
RoW (BLOCKED Countries): AM, AZ, BY, GE, KZ, KG, MD, RU, TJ, TM, UZ, UA, LV, LT, EE, AT, BE, BG, CY, CZ, DK, GB, EE, FI, FR, DE, GS, GR, HU, IS, IE, IM, IT, JE, LV, LI, LT, LU, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, ES, SE, DE
In Ukraine (UA) without problem

Yeah, too much countries i think, each game has different locked. ;)

I could activate the RE6 ROW key (bought via VPN with a Swiss IP) in Germany without problems.
Whatever this page says, I don't even think there a German low violence version of this game (anymore).
Steam store doesn't mention one - though Steam store information isn't always accurate.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can check the packages in steam DB. That's what matters.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually no ... this time it's your IP when you open the shop page. Otherwise I couldn't have bought the bundle via VPN from outside Germany, with a German Paypal account.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can confirm this. I had to use a proxy to buy the latest book bundles because they had a couple of items not available in my region.
Yep, even comics and audio books have region restrictions now...
Comment has been collapsed.
So RE6 is a German cut version again? Meh.. thanks for the info and the GA! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, unfortunately if you buy it from Germany.
Maybe you could consider use VPN or find a trader on steamtrades. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Too late. I thought about using VPN due to Dead Rising, but in the end it's only for giving away.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm the Steam store doesn't mention any LV/cut version ... according to steamdb.info there is a special LV package for DE, but it's old. The ROW key works fine, so maybe you got lucky and they didn't even bother to give you anything but the ROW key? Can you check your licenses on Steam, what does it say? For me it's "Resident Evil 6 Retail WW" - I bought the bundle with a Swiss IP.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't check it, because I already owned it. Would just like to know it for trading/GA purposes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Proprietary Space Magic
(Unrelated: I also have the game, so a key wouldn't activate on my account here unless it contains something else in addition to what I previously owned - it's safe to attempt activation and just get an 'Already Purchased' message for things that aren't low violence versions with extra low violence content)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I've heard that with some games both the LV and the ROW version could be activated. In that case the key would be gone.
Also couldn't Myrsan do the same test since (s)he already owns the product?
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed, the 'just trying to activate' test, using sane software that uses SteamKit2 or similar, can be done by anyone.
I do however assume that Myrsan doesn't have the necessary equipment to check without the risk of activation.
Comment has been collapsed.
Does these restrictions apply when you "claim" bundle or right after payment is completed?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think is after payment. Where you buy it decide the code region.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds like the best thing for those of us in the USA is to do region-restricted giveaways for North America only, just to be on the safe side.
Thanks for the heads up!

Whats going on with price of Tire 2, it was like 6$ now its over 7$
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, this bundle is very popular i think. Most people will buy the full bunde, make the BTA become higher!

I'm doing a giveaway for Umbrella Corps, I'm from Vietnam and my region is SEA, so I get a ROW key right? So people from BR, IN, AM, AZ, BY, GE, KZ, KG, MD, RU, TJ, TM, UZ, UA can't activate? I didn't get any warning when I made a gift link for Strider though. I don't want to have any trouble.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you get a warning when you create gift links? I tried for all the games from tier 1 but didn't get any.
