Did they recently region lock the whole bundle?

Which says,
We're sorry, but this game is not available in your region.
Here are some other games you might be interested in:
FYI, I am browsing from SEA region.

It's a common problem with browsers ignoring copy for some reason and then you end up pasting the same thing twice. :)
Maybe they want to only sell it for exactly 50 currency units and $/€/£ work better than in most other regions.

Seems so. It was visible last week. Now I'm seeing the same message you are. I guess with so many of the more desirable games being locked, it didn't make sense to offer this any more. Screw region locks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly my thoughts. They might have been getting a lot of complaints from SEA region customers about the region locks, so they may had finally decided to make it unavailable to SEA.

I see the same thing, am in SEA as well, but it's not like I'd have bought it anyways since so many games (and the better ones) in that list aren't even viewable in our steam store... much less playing it? :')

I think a product being unavailable in steam store, doesn't mean you cannot register the key.
For an example I bought Codemasters Woot Crate from greenmangaming some time ago. It had this game: Operation Flashpoint: Red River which is currently unavailable in my region.
Oops, sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:
This item is currently unavailable in your region
But I could somehow register the key and get it into my steam library.
So eventhough others have mentioned that they were getting errors when attempting to register the keys, I still have some hope that it won't be the same for me. But still that 50 dollar mark makes me re-evaluate the chances of me getting the bundle.

that's true, it really depends on the publisher of the game. i wouldn't want to risk it in this case since konami is in concern, where theyre known for restricting activation of keys in region locked countries, though its regrettable that their games are one of the better ones in this bundle :'D

Whether the product is available on Steam store or not doesn't matter. Key activation is based on whether there is any restriction on the packages (sub) for the game. Many games don't have such restriction, so keys generated for those packages can be activated worldwide. However, the Castlevania games don't have any region-free package, so they had to block the entire bundle for affected region.

This clears up my my confusion on why I could activate the aforementioned game.
Thanks for the input!

Bought it, I haven't used GMG in while. Where are your purchases now?

- Your breakdown of region restrictions has Castlevania Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition linked to VLoS - Mirror of Fate and vice versa.
- Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 link does not go to its store page (bad link).
While it's tempting to get Beat Cop and The Phantom Pain, two games out of a $50 bundle does not sound "worth" to me.
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks, I corrected the inversion.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 link is not a bad link, it does go to the store page of Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle, which is what you get if you buy the bundle (and it's unavailable in the US)

Has any sly slooth heard any news on GMG getting the replacement keys? I haven't wanted to reply to my support ticket again and add too the clutter of messages.
Or better yet: has this happened before and if so approx. how long before the fix?
Comment has been collapsed.
+1, any update?
I can't believe it's been over a week and this is still in limbo.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nobody has mentioned anything yet, as far as I know.
But the bundle is now not available in Asia. That's one way to solve the problem, I guess..
Comment has been collapsed.
Just got an update on my support ticket. Looks like the region lock is going to be removed from the affected packages since they mention enabling the keys rather than replacing them.

I didn't know you could to this. Is it possible to post the relevant part of the mail ?

Found this in my email:
Apologies for the issues redeeming your Steam key for Castlevania Lords of Shadows Ultimate Edition.
We have been following up with Konami to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, unfortunately, this has taken a little longer to resolve than we'd like.
We anticipate that you will be able to activate your key/s normally soon. We don't currently have a specific date for you, but will confirm as soon as the keys work as intended.
We're just waiting for the process between Konami and Steam to complete, we'll let you know once your keys have been enabled.

From the split bundles they now offer:
"PLEASE NOTE: US customers will be unable to redeem Castlevania LOS Bundle code currently, due to Konami restrictions. These codes are being replaced and will be sent out directly to US customers when available. "
Still waiting....

GMG doesn't seem to like the referral link, takes you to the main page. Bundle still available at www.greenmangaming.com/games/gamesaid-charity-bundle-pc if you copy and paste the text and not the link.
Is this sale still on? I can't tell because I've already purchased it and they only let you add it to your basket once.

Hurray for that technological advance! Too bad that this wouldn't have worked three weeks ago.
Seriously: what a **** move for the early buyers.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow what the hell XD And here I rushed to get it because I wasn't sure if there'd still be enough keys left for all the games if I waited.

Castlevania Lord of Shadows 2 issue resolved. See:

I'm just guessing because what they replaced it with was 5 keys: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Armored Dracula Costume, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Dark Dracula Costume, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Relic Rune Pack, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Revelations DLC
So maybe the original key is that one but I don't know for sure. That's the only one that would have activated in the EU but not USA or CAN.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can confirm the Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 key was replaced with the equivalent 5 keys though was still active. I gave it to an Australian bud and it activated fine. If you've got the original region locked key, it should still be valid.

UPDATE: The bundle has now ended, and has been replaced by 5 separate bundles.
