Well....the Saints Row Bundle just like Humble Capcom Rising Bundle has a lot region locked. ;

When you create or enter a giveaway, check the region information first! :P

It would be nice if on giveaways here there was a flag next to creator's username showing the country they selected as per the region setting in their user account here (and mouseover to get country name). It would make things a lot easier as these bundles with region-locked games are causing havoc and you can't depend on the users to get it right. First the Capcom bundle, now this. I have to manually check each user to try and figure out what country they bought the keys from...... and A LOT of them are giveaways where I won't be able to activate the key despite it being open to everyone. It's a mess.

I have asked for it twice, others another few times. The last time it popped up was when Valve redid the gift system.

Also it would be nice to be able to hide some exact giveaway for game rather than all giveaways for that game.

I think it far easier to emplement compared to wider region selection.

I bought the bundle in EU and all redeemed fine from a US IP, other than Gat out of Hell.

Two of the subscription names mentioned EU in them ("Deadlight Directors Cut EU", "Mighty No. 9 EU"), but they weren't actually locked from redeeming other than GooH. Still smart though to tag your giveaways anyways.

Yes, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is region locked.

I bought from the EU (UK) but only see "Deadlight Directors Cut" and "Mighty No. 9" on the download page. But trying to create a gift link gives me a bunch country codes. Where do you see "Deadlight Directors Cut EU"?

You will see that info when you redeem the key. Those keys were redeemed with ASF but you will get that info with the Steam client too.

This information is already in the bundle thread.

EU keys are actually RoW except Saints Row: Gat out of Hell so part of that information is wrong.

I'm new to understanding these stupid region locks. Is there any way of telling they are or are not restricted other than going on peoples experiences (and ignoring what Humble says)?

You need to redeem the key to know the SubID, and then query SteamDB. To know the SubID after redeeming the key (if you don't use ASF) you can use the console

licenses_for_app - <appid> : shows active licenses for appid

With that command you get the SubID you activated in your account.

Ok, so you can't know for sure until you've redeemed the key. Thanks for the links though.

Ok, i read it but im pretty dumb. Can someone explain me what region locks will the keys have if im from Argentina? Will the be considered in the "[LATAM] Latin America (Exclusive Countries):"? Or will the only be activated on Argentina?
Thanks

According to HB, if you purchased it from Argentina then everything except Agents of Mayhem works anywhere.

Also when you click on the "Gift to a Friend" button, you will get a warning if your gift link is restricted or not.

Pretty sure for this bundle every country has region lock including countries that usually don't like the US.

i wanted to give away Saints Row 2 because I already have it. And it says that it is not redeemeble in Germany.
How should I make the giveaway ? I already screwed up and had to delete one giveaway because I accidentely checked that the key IS for Germany. But actually it`s other way around.
Do I have to mark something else in the region ?

Pesky region locks, only make things confusing for us, right?

You can create a normal non-restricted giveaway and warn people in the description. Or you can create an invite only giveaway and share the link on the forums if you prefer, as people are more likely to read the info about DE lock that way ;)

Yep, I did that for NBA 2K17. Created a discussion topic and invite only giveaway and clearly stated key was EU only in both. I still had to re-roll!

Won Deadlight Directors Cut and was able to activate it without issues. Activated as Deadlight Directors Cut EU.

Ok, I'm a little dumb. Can anyone explain what this means?

Risen 3: Asia, Brazil, EU, RU, ROW.

Does it mean that the game can only be activated in those countries no matter where it was bought from, OR that it can only be activated in the aforementioned countries IF it was bought with a country's IP?
For example If I buy the bundle in EU, my giveaway MUST be EU only?
Thanks!

I think what it means is if a person in Brazil buys it, they get a key redeemable only in Brazil. Same with the RU, same with Asia, same with EU. Anyone in the countries not listed in the defined regions for that game gets ROW, and is redeemable everywhere EXCEPT Asia, Brazil, EU, RU.

IP dictates the region you get, the region dictates where you can activate it.
