Have you ever bought something from nuuvem?
Man, I can't seem to be able to buy them :(. I use Tunnelbear to be in brazil, but when I payed with paypal, it refuses my payment. It probably still knows I'm not from brazil :O.
How do you people do this? Must you have a brazil paypal account?

I believe there are regions for paypal as well, at least I know there is a region for US, another for UK, happened to me when i tried to cash in credit into PSN UK from paypal, that's when a notification appeared telling me my paypal was not from UK... then T_T.
Think that nuuveem is good for south american fellows as good as "Putingate" works for Russian guys :)
EDIT: I believe if you got a paypal account from a latin america country should work, or you can top up a virtual credit card ... i can't seem to remember the name....
EDIT2: the card was named "Entropy", thanks @Dingbat.
EDIT3: I have Latin America paypal, no problem at the moment, so maybe it's a card holder kind of restriction.....

Latin America Paypal doesn't work, I've tried. Basically if you have the warning "this game is not available in your region" your paypal will also fail at payment.

:(. I really wanted L.A. Noire Complete. Oh well, let's hope I win the GA for it.
So nothing I can do to be able to buy those in the future?

The % should not be that high. Paypal fees are around 5.4%+$0.30, 10% would be fair and 15% more than enough, of course if you are a helper and not someone who tries to make profit and live from it.

I forget, when I buy stuff from nuuvem, it's usually in the $5 to $10 range; Paypal charges are close to 10%, and with a 15% markup that's close to 25% increase. Of course if the amount of the transaction is much higher, then it should be a smaller markup
Comment has been collapsed.
You can check paypal fees on their website, is not close to 10%.
If I send money to an US account they charge me 5.4%+$0.30
If I send money to an European account they charge me 5.4%+€0.35
If someone buys a game for you in $15, you should send them ~$16.15 and it would cover all paypal costs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes... And If you send $15, it's $0.81+0.30=$1.11 = 6.9%
$30, it's $1.62+0.30 = $1.92 = 6.01%
You see at it like 10% because you are sending a very small amount... It is still a 5.4% plus $0.30, The best strategy to send money is avoid small payments.

I don't know in ARG, but in Brazil we have a lot of fees and the U$ that you can search in Internet is not what the bank pays to us :/ and we don't have that family e friend without fees like in Europe (or with less fees), and we don't use Paypal like in Europe, one time one friend german said somehting about paying a pizza with the paypal account, i think we never do somenthing like this is here xD
At least you have some fees with the change of currency U$ to R$ when you normaly pay in Paypal to Nuuvem, searching a Brazilian you will pay some fees to send money abroad, so i think even with these fees some promotions will worth, if someone want to try, can add me and i still will want 10% at least just to test and i don't lose anything, we can see the taxes together before decides, because i am curious about it too o/

When the Castlevania games go on sale again I will contact you.
Btw Paypal fees for brazil can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/br/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?locale.x=pt_BR#exhibit_A
If I want to buy a R$9.99 game the transaction should be:
R$9.99 (game price)
R$1.00 (10% for the helper)
R$0.65 (5.9% fee)
R$0.60 (Fixed fee)
R$12.24 Total.
***The sender have to choose R$ when making the payment or the currency conversion fee will be transferred to the receiver.
Paypal charges 4.5% fee additionally to the exchange rate.

As I recall, some of the games would only let you buy them once, 'per payment method'. GUILTY GEAR Xrd -SIGN- is the only one I can recall for sure that did that. Could only buy one copy every 24 hrs with the same paypal account. May have just been when it was on sale.
I also don't use Brazilian paypal account, since it adds something like 5-8% to purchase price, due to banking regulations in brazil (this assuming you don't have a brazilian bank account already). use some other south american country. only prevents you from getting brazil region locked games, which most (international) buyers probably wouldn't want anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh really? :o I bought 2 copies of the same game last week with the same PayPal. And I had no issues.
And yeah, I use my own Danish PayPal account so ;p. I actually thought PayPal was blocked in Brazil. At least last time I checked few years ago hm.
Comment has been collapsed.
probably was a few years ago, dunno. hasn't been for at least 9 months or so, though
and, yeah, couldn't switch between accounts and buy same game. with the same paypal account anyway.
if you bought cross of the dutchman deluxe, or some other game that they've set up wrong, then i guess it would work, re: don't even have to use vpn

im trying to buy something from Nuuvem but it has the "This game cannot be activated outside Brasil", but as far as i know, brazil is not a steam region, the region would be South America, i am from south america, so would it be safe for me to buy it? :v
Comment has been collapsed.
I do know Steam gifts region restrictions are as follow if you buy it from Brazil...
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Bahamas, Belize, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, Suriname, El Salvador, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Though i am not sure if Nuuvem really means Brazil only or if it follows the same as Steam Gift's.Though i guess in either case if you are buying it for yourself and you are in Brazil you for sure will not have any issue using the key.
You have to remember this is a key re-seller so the Publishers in this case dictate the regions they can be played in or are locked to and Steam has not control over that.Steam before the full on region locks left it up to the publisher to lock them but they always had the option to choose locks themselves.
You can contact Nuuvem but since they are part of South America i would assume they can be used as long as you reside in the SA region or wait for someone to officially confirm it.

Europa Universalis IV seems to be region free, no packages for SA or LATAM, and that site indicates the same.
The next promotions already is in calendar that seems to not work with the english language sometimes:
Far Cry® Weekend (17jun/20jun) Uplay Only Probably
Nordic Games Special (17jun/20jun) ROW Probably
Recruit Fault Special (17jun/20jun) Region Locked Probably
Warhammer Weekend (17jun/20jun) Region Locked
Pillars of Eternity Week (20jun/22jun) Region Locked
Lords Of The Fallen™ Special (21jun/23jun) ROW Probably

"em breve" is soon and i really don't know which day can be, but they have a calendar (only in portuguese) and is showing promotions only until jun 23 for now (very shit for my opinion xD), probably they will update this calendar some days before, i forgot which day they updated the calendar (there's the exactly day in the Facebook Page, but i am tired now xD), but is already in time to they told us what will be after 23 june o/

Thank you for the link and the replies! I really appreciate it.
It doesn't appear to be region locked, but when I try to pay via PayPal it won't go through, so it must be PayPal locked? It doesn't say that explicitly, but it's the only thing I can think of.

Hi, receiving money from outside of the country has a lot of fees in Brazil, probably is that why Nuuvem blocked foreigns, this game is region free like a lot of other games in Nuuvem, my thread is above too and i help foreigns to get the games and know which game is or not region locked, i spread the coming deals too, check out o/

From the Supraball Giveaway:
Use "JOGOSBRASILNANUUVEM" to get 10% off in any title on Nuuvem
Warning: It might be a referral discount code for "Jogos Brazil" group on Steam, but I thought it might be interesting to know about it if the "BEMVINDO10 / VEMPRANUUVEM10" discount code is a one-time only code, and if the "Jogos Brazil" code can be used more than once.
If there's any problem for posting that code here, just let me know and I'll edit my message.

As of today Nuuvem decided to mark EVERY PRODUCT as " south america / brazil locked " ... but guess what... it's FAKE ! I just bought dead rising 2 ( 1st of july 2016 from the brazilian mate i advertised some lines above in the thread and EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY , Dead rising 2 is STILL ONLY REGION LOCKED TO GERMANY + RUSSIA , so NUUVEM is LYING on some product locks to make the costumers afraid and make them NOT BUY a certain product..
EDIT: And here's some proof too :D http://imgur.com/VP7kejx

Now that I see that list, I think they aren't lying.
More like "you can check out if you are from this country" kind of lock, in other words, just showing which countries aren't store-locked (I think Argentina and Brazil are countries that can use Nuuvem... [Costa Rica is not on the list, sadly... I call bull, hehe]
So, there you go! ALWAYS check SteamDB, just in case there are changes on the games! (If there's a game classified as "BR" or something, DON'T buy it, chances are Nuuvem holds this version on sale)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, let me try helping you here:
1- Go to SteamDB
2- In the search box, type the game code of the game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/307780/ (Where "307780" is the code for the game, alternatively you can just type the name of the game to be seen
3- It will show you a clickable code, click on it!
4- Now go to "Packages" in the left part of the screen. Should appear with an icon of a box.
5- You'll see (for that kind of game) 12 packages, go through them all by clicking their code.
6- For some codes, you don't get redirected to what you want to see, so make sure you are on the "Information" tab for all the packages.
7- If you don't see anything about countries that can purchase or not purchase that package, then the game key is ROW.
Let me show you an instance where the game is region-locked.
https://steamdb.info/app/206420/subs/
77 packages, but there's a difference here!
https://steamdb.info/sub/29296/
Check that out, available only in Brazil! The store is from Brazil too! So there's a high chance they have a game key that is from that country!
I hope I could have helped you! :)

Wow, now i get it. Thanks...
So if i see any Package with BR Lock its probabbly that nuuvem sell locked keys of the game.
But if there is not any package with region BR is 100% that is not Region Locked.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to explain me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty much! But be careful as well! If the game has a South America only key, don't risk it!
No problem! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
to be honest i don't care if nuuvem says the game is locked; i care for what steamDB says. If there is no packaged with region lock how the hell would nuuvem sell region locked key?
it's quite interesting because some DLC are not region locked when the base game is region locked (looking at total war attila/rome 2).
Comment has been collapsed.
they can't. . .unless they demand all those games get BR/SA locks,get fresh batches of keys generated specifically for all the games on their storefront, or just those that are currently on sale. . .n then actually manage to sell all those keys in a reasonable, timely manner.otherwise, they're stuck with an assload of keys no one wants/ can afford/can even buy/ activate. I don't think either of the parties involved in such a hypothetical scheme at that great of a scale is willing to go thru that kind of an ordeal.my 2 cents. . .
Comment has been collapsed.
my question was a rhetorical one. I posted because many people here and on other forums (like reddit) "fear" nuuvem because of region locks, especially now that nuuvem has a south america "lock" on almost every game.
Still perhaps i should have been clearer on my comment.
Comment has been collapsed.
figured it was. . .rhetorical, that is. you sure sounded doubtful (suspicious would be a better word, n for the right reason) n came off as a learned guy when it comes to the aforementioned matter.no disrespect intended. just felt the need to give a little insight to the uninformed, uninitiated n those not so well versed in SteamDB research n whatnot.thas all.
Comment has been collapsed.
They released a early list with a lot of discounts, but some more already appeared like the GTA games, they promised some fast deals too since in there, after the purchase, if you not discover the key, you still can get a refund, but, i think that already cheapiest :D
