So go alienware, they blocked everything for Europe, even collecting ARP makes no sense because the vault opens at 2 a.m. on the middle of the week for Europe.

so where is the problem for you? according to your account you played 174.6 hours past 2 weeks, that are ~12 hours a day, more than other people work which is at around 40h a week. and you tell me that you dont have time to grab a game out of the vault

ROTFL.

  1. You have no idea how Steam counts time.
  2. You can have up 100 games running at the same time and the time will count for all of them.
  3. Afk in Black Desert is not playing.
  4. Dropping cards is not playing.
  5. At 2 a.m. a normal person is asleep.

You just showed that you are not an adult, when you are 30+ years old, 8 hours of sleep will be your dream.

Talk about gaslighting, just bc someone else's life experience is different from yours doesn't makes yours better nor a standard for anything bud, guess it was too much to expect from an "adult".

The EU one doesn't even recognize my NA account as existing, so they seem to use entire different databases. I can't find an NA listing equivalent for it, either. So if you really want to jump on it, could consider VPNing an alt account onto the EU site.

Really been wanting to drag my best friend (ie, my dedicated co-op partner) into this series, hopefully this is a sign that we'll get a good NA/ROW/WW offer of some sort soon. Man of Medan's definitely old enough now, with plenty of sequels and successors, so it wouldn't be weird to see it given away free without restriction soon. With that in mind, and given that the giveaway here has a greater than zero chance at providing region restricted keys, it might not be worth the hassle of fighting for the keys now, even for those of us super eager for the game.

They were giving away Little Nightmares if you signed up for this, but they later changed it to a random drawing without notice. I don't think I saw anyone get a key.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/nn3hkn/steam_little_nightmares_free/gzsagjf/

And now I'm seeing people getting messages that they'll get a key if "selected", so yeah, another goddamn bait and switch again.

There won't, at least not through Bandai Namco directly. They always do this, excluding the Americas, and have for at least as long as I've been on this site.

Umm, no they don't always exclude the Americans, they have a separate site for NA, like when they gave away Little Nightmares, separating the EU and NA giveaway.
They do, however keep excluding some SEA countries.
Like when this game was in HB Choice, it got replaced with another game, if they have any game in a regular HB bundle, that get is not included.
If there's a Bandai Namco sale on third party sites like HB or Fanatical, that sale is not available for some SEA countries.
That's excluding.

I'm referring, specifically, to their giveaways like this. They've always been like this. Yes, they have a NA site, but their giveaways are never mirrored on it. I can't speak for their sales.

The site seems to be having a lot of trouble. What happens if I didn't confirm my registration on the site? No email at all, but "You will be contacted by email if you are selected."

I didn't get a confirmation email either, but they will send the keys out in October, so that's when the winners will get contacted.

I just realized that I made an account by clicking the 'log in with a Google account' button so that's why I didn't need to get a confirmation letter, maybe you can try that if you're having trouble making a regular account.

But of course europe again, and never south america. Its baffling, not even the US.

Increasingly region locks nonsense, from humble and elsewhere, the raising prices and then things like this- completely arbitrary, as they dont spend anything to generate codes. I dont know what goes in their heads with all this regional nonsense but i know what goes in players heads and the result is the opposite.

I dont like the Epic Launcher, but to this day i never stumbled on not claimable free promotions nor even a 'not available in your region' on their store. Slowly and unwillingly i have to admit theyre gaining me a bit, and ironically a good deal of it isnt on epic (with the still barebones launcher) but on steam, regional nonsense and on publishers.
Publishers that btw also sell on the Epic Store without this kind of regional nonsense so... what gives?

Makes zero sense to me

I have. Thing is - you won't even see the free game if it's not available for you (I only found out about that thanks to the thread here). Also, once they "refunded" the free game because the regional restrictions were set by the publisher after the fact.

Damn, nowhere to run then. Maybe GOG, but by the looks of it publishers may also push this nonsense there.
I could understand law banned things- i may not agree with but things like germany banning any depiction of the nazi symbol and such(wich idk if its still a thing) makes sense, only the biggest publishers willing to spend to cash to censor or workaround, their hands forced and such. But now it seems entirely from the publishers...
