This has nothing to do with region lock, you are just confusing ppl, if it's not available in EU and other areas of Steam store it doesn't means you can't have it, activate and play it.

i'm not confusing no one, it's not available in my region to buy (which is a region lock right? .-.) that's why the store page is there, to check if is available...

Not available in your store doesn't means region lock, region lock is another thing. You can still activate that game and play it. You said "region locked on portugal as well" that's why I said you are confusing ppl ;)

This game SAW is region free.

well, it's a region lock after all, it's not available here .-.
i know that region locks doesnt mean that a game cant be activated but it's not available in my region, that's all i was trying to say
i didn't said that users where this game is not available cant activate it, just said it's not available... because op said he coudn't find it... and i checked and shared as well... please dont kill me...?

Thats not certain but possible.
I have games in my library that are unavailable in my own store.

I checked and it says "not available in your region". So you probably cant buy a key anyway

The game was removed from steam for some reason. That does not mean that it is restricted in any region. Region locking refers to limiting persons within a certain region to buying games at a set price (lower) but are unable to gift/trade it to a person in a different region. Region restriction refers to when a game is not allowed to be activated within a certain country due to some legal issue (e.g. Germany and some games with violence/nazi themes).

if you go here - http://store.steampowered.com/app/27300/?cc=ca - you can see that is available on canada for example, but this game was indeed removed from steam store once because i remember a guy with a lot of saw gifts on inventory selling for a high price for collectors
i'm not sure but those old copies of saw may still be row

According to Steamdb game is included in 8 packages, but the newest one(that is probably sold now) is region locked to: "Bahamas, Panama, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico."

Look at Billing Type, it's a Store package, so it can't be a Steam key.

Ohh... I wasn't aware of this section. So as long as OP buys cd-key it won't have region lock? What a weird way to region lock.

I see Silent Hill Homecoming cheap as well.
Can anyone check if both these games register on steam after using Hola to buy it?
EDIT. Crap, its probably this one:
This item is only purchasable in United States, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Panama, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador.

its like 1.50-2.00 dollars on nuuvem. Go get it Americans

Bought homecoming myself from nuuvem for 1,5€ and it activated as this https://steamdb.info/sub/1343/ and it lets me install it so its not region locked, the only lock is to be able to buy it, its just a RoW key

Nuuvem have an excellent track record when it comes to marking regional restrictions - whether they be purchase,activation or play.

I just purchased Saw, SH Homecoming and BAtle LA ('cos why not) and all activated fine from the UK.

The game is only on the US store it seems: http://store.steampowered.com/app/27300/?cc=us

But I bought SAW some months ago on GreenManGaming and I got a row key, so all is good :). Can't speak for nuuvem but I think it should be fine ^^

It's fine, got my game on nuuvem and activated without problems in Steam-Spain (where the game is not available to purchase either).

It's funny, I thought about gifting you a copy but I saw you already had it when I redeemed my key :D

BTW, thanks to Anknownlolz for the tip and to the other users who helped with the region lock doubts!

Google Translate is a little bit choppy, so here's a regular translation:
"Due to high demand, we ran out of SAW keys. We're waiting for a new batch of keys from the publisher. Meanwhile, you can purchase SAW and the affected orders will get their keys as soon as they're available again. We expect to receive a new batch of keys until 25/03/2015."

Does it use GFWL? Every game that uses GFWL is unavailable my region. To get Dark Souls (before the steamworks patch) I had to buy a steam key on Amazon.

EDIT: Not 100% sure but from my experience keys bought from trusted sites can activate a game even if it's not available in your region.
