How the gently caress did you find this?

A friend happened to check steamdb just when was removed from the sub where all the free poo poo used to be. Of course had to check if it still worked.

It really is the old rear end demo though so it won't be coming back or anything.

Don't do it! He won't be able to redeem the gift, the region lock is really hardcore for the game.

Pretty sure he can, as long as Zedd didn't move to Russia or something.

Google tells me the gifts from other regions don't work with MG:R just like with Wolfenstein. This isn't the usual region locking thing.

Looks normal to me. PurchaseRestrictedCountries flag only stops you from activating keys without VPN and buying the game from the store. Gift activation works fine.
AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting doesn't restrict all cross region trading, just activating the stuff bought from cheaper countries.

Wolfenstein uses the prohibitrunincountries flag to stop Germans from playing it. Only way for them to get an uncensored non-region locked Steam copy is getting the QuakeCon pack gifted from outside Germany.

The collector's edition is not up for sale in the Russian store. That warning is for the regular version.

You guys are confusing two separate region locks. One is where you can't buy it, which is mentioned in steamdb. The second is where you can't add it to your library, which is the case with DOS. There's nothing about the second one in steamdb.

The store notice can be wrong, it only takes a trip to SteamDB to verify that. Normal version definitely is region free, gifting is disabled for it in Russia but that is easily circumvented.

Dunno why CE is gone from Russian store now, but it's definitely why the region lock blurb shows up.

I don't think the current version of Idle Master has any SAM code in it anymore, apparently he accidentally uploaded an old build at first that had still had SAM baked in it.

If the guy wanted to hijack your account he could've probably done it through Enhanced Steam already anyway. :v:

Steam is starting to display prices in NOK now, and they... mostly seem pretty fair. Some of them are even good, like the Serious Sam 3 deal which costs 1.99 kr, which is roughly 30 cents.

Though chances are they'll make huge price hikes once they realize that our prices are either fair or good.

Look for price errors like that while you can.

FYI CS:GO is currently 1.3€ in the norwegian store, you can easily make a healthy profit on that.

e: all valve game prices are goofed.

I just tried adding CS:GO and SS3 to my cart to get some cheap gift copies, and they show up as higher prices in checkout. Guess it just looks hosed up on the store pages. :(

From the comments of that apology blog post, written by the Guncraft dev:

quote:

I had the "pleasure" of being acquainted with Mike and Travis during a Groupees bundle we shared last year in May. They were harassing customers in chat and I stepped in to tell them to stop. After Mike and Travis retargeted their harassment at me, Mike and I proceeded to chat in private messages. I told him "you need to learn to act a bit more professional" after a short discussion about how he can't treat his customers that way. He said "You can't teach a lesson to God."

After a little bit of talk like this (I remained civil and he kept saying things like this. I have the entire transcript saved btw.), Mike proceeded to get his followers and famous YouTubers to go and attack our Desura page, putting in 1/10's for reviews over and over. He also got people to talk poo poo on Twitter about our game, despite them not playing it at all. It was petty and pointless and all because I defended customers he was harassing.

I've followed his progress closely and silently ever since then. I documented several of his outbursts and waited for him to implode. That day finally came.

Mike is not a good person. He got what he deserved and anyone feeling sorry for him really shouldn't. Maybe one day he'll become a halfway decent human being, but it won't be in the game industry. He's done here, as seen from this terrible apology. "lovely corporations" really?! You haven't learned ANYTHING Mike.

Wait, poo poo, when did this happen?

I'm sure it was doable on the last steam sale wasn't it?

Cross region gifting being disabled by default just means that everything added to Steam from now on will have region locks in place from the get go.

The usual US to EU gifting works fine still, since only games bought from the former Soviet Union countries, Turkey, Mexico, Southeast Asia and South America have those restrictions.

You just need to use a VPN to put it to cart, the key you get should be region free.

Why stop at 7? You should be able to get 10 before you get locked out for an hour. Then if they don't fix it soon you can get 10 more later.
