Greenman Gaming is now a region locked site?

I can't seem to purchase anything from GMG anymore. Some games if I click on buy now I get an error 404: this page does not exist page and the rest I get a note above the game saying 'Unfortunately we do not currently support selling products in your region.' Anyone know about this?

Never heard of what you've specifically encountered before.

I do know that they've been selling region-locked keys for a while, depending on where the person comes from but that's a bit different. I.E. if you're in Russia, and Russian region locked keys exist for a particular game, they sell them to you. If you buy the same game from the USA you get a RoW copy. It's a bit like what Humble Bundle is doing.

As your Steam profile says you're in Australis I have no idea what's going on there.

Edit: Maybe something to do with tax? Don't you usually have to pay a lot where you are? Perhaps because of censors? I think your country is tight on that too.

I don't know what the deal, I've bought from GMG before with no issues, we do pay quite alot here normally but not much more than GMG's usual pricing. I'm pretty sure we get the RoW copies, most sites have normally been US for me, plus I haven't had any issues with giveaways, even from those Humble Bundles. I don't know about censors, especially now as we don't really get games censored or banned from the shelf now, our government started allowing 18+ games a little while ago.
