oh they're passing on savings

New Nintendo 3DS XL uses the same AC adapter as any Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DSi system. Rather than raise cost of New Nintendo 3DS XL by charging consumers for a component they may already own, we are giving them the option to only buy if they need an AC adapter.

i'm not sure gog's store is built to gently caress with regions like that, and kind of defeats the purpose of their whole drm-freeness

steam definitely is, a few games are hard-locked to not run in banned regions (e.g. wolfenstein new order) and to have locked diverging sku's for different territories. in those cases you flat-out can't use an external key, steam will refuse to apply it to your account

yeah i know, but region locking w/r/t actually running the game is fairly rare all things considered. key activation can be a thing but you can just vpn to america for a bit (which is technically against tos but c'mon valve won't notice)

i think the "banned" games actually require this for every launch, not just for initial activation

there aren't many games where this applies as it's somewhat of a new thing, i think wolfenstein was the first one that got that nasty

specifically for australia (i think germany is way more stringent about wolfenstein (and in general i suppose)) sr4 was just unable to be purchased, us keys could be activated and run just fine whereas south park required a vpn to activate the key but could be run without it

so basically it's something no one's going to know until the implement the stuff into steam and steamdb fishes it out since it's up to the publisher

hmmm i guess this depends on the titles

dead rising 2 and wolfenstein don't work in germany (first is fully banned, and wolf has its own nazi-free version for germany)

final fantasy xiii is a weird one since there's a southeast asian version (jp audio only, english japanese and chinese text options) and a rest-of-world version (en or jp audio, en fr de it sp text options) and each is hard-locked to those territories

EDIT and yeah, russian editions are always crazy-locked down

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
i know that for the previous wolfenstein games they just replace all the swastikas with eagles and change the script so the nazis are actually neo-fascist cultists or whatever

but it really seems to me like nazis and the third reich are pretty fuckin ingrained into everything about the newest wolfenstein

what did they h ave to change? how different is it?

it's all about "the regime"

i'm not sure on the extent of the other changes, but i think you can pretty much tell the exact same story with the right copypaste of the script, i suspect it's one of those "by the book" laws where as long as you don't actually use the word nazi or show a swastika or the stache you're fine

yeah this would be interesting to know

they probably changed all the swastikas to the wolfenstein W like in the trailers and since hitler and the third reich are mentioned so few times and in non plot important dialogue those lines could easily be removed

the hard part is removing any mention of nazis and the fact that they control almost the entire world now
