I managed to get Thief from the Alienware Arena giveaway, but I'm pretty sure I used the NA version of Arena, while I'm living in Europe. I redeemed the key on Steam and it was accepted, but can there be some issue actually playing it? Is the NA version region-blocked?

PS - As to why I used the NA version - it was a mistake. I forgot to turn off the Hola Unblocker.

I don't think there's gonna be any problems since you didn't use the VPN to activate. You can relax and forget about it that NA thing.

I thought both EU and NA has the same key database i.e. they both give keys from the same place?

It would make sense, otherwise they would need 2000 keys instead to give 1k to each region.

The key that you got is ROW (WW) so you have nothing to worry about

Since you activated you key on Steam and it was accepted, the key just isn't region-locked.

Thief is going to be launched on the 25th so I think that while you are able to download it, it will only be playable starting on the 25th of this month!

That's not what he was asking about. He thought he might have activated a region locked key and it won't let him play when Thief gets unlocked.

The keys from AMD are global, even though the giveaway for 1,000 Silver Keys took place on the NA Alienware site. Also obligatory anger at you for getting to a key before I could =p.

In my past experience, Alienware generally has ROW keys. The region they point to generally just indicates the time of the giveaway. Or sometimes on other non-Steam stuff, they have the keys split into different pools per region.
I can't say for sure on this one, too lazy to set up enough VPNs and auto-refreshers to get a key.

I can confirm they are Row keys!
I also had a silverkey from Never Settle Reloaded which I got a few months ago and just received it by e-mail.
It registers as Thief WW (=worldwide).

Sorry to butt in but, what is that hola thingy you talk about?

A Firefox plugin. Basically a VPN, let's you access pages not avaiable in your country, like Hulu or movies on WWE.com. I use it for WWE.com, and TV networks websites, to watch trailers or episodes.
