Steam is Region Locking Gifting (petition)

I HAVE A DREAM ! (...)

Oh wow, only 34 supporters left and we'll have our store unlocked! Yay!

Just done.

Wow, these petitions never cease to amaze me. I have to ask who decided that you need 100 signatures and what exactly will happen when you reach that number of signatures?

If you have a problem with the region locking, take it up with the game devs/publishers. ^^

If gabe does not see he looses money and redecides then good luck

100 signatures...

thank you for giving me a good laugh for today, i honestly haven't laughed this hard in a while

unless maybe the petition creator thinks he is somehow in a scaled-down version of the movie '300' where each of the the signers are somehow super strong and stuff...that would be delusion i could get behind!

its shit. Region block for games dat have not license in some countrie. Valve will loose a lot of money and they will get problems with law. So you can use your petition in WC

cute....hint: changing things in real world (....and funny thing, valve is a real world company.no buffs or aimbots possible here) you must do something that hurts them. So organize people to stop using steam or buy from steam......or even playing games from publishers that support restrictions......but first land with a broom on the moon...it´s far easier.

Really? I was under the impression that Steam was already region locked as far as gifts go.

This new blocks basically ruined me now, I signed but I'm sure it won't matter.

Unless they make less profit i fear they wont revert this region locking stuff :(

Maybe I should write petition to President of my Motherland. (No, Im not talking US, there are other countries). There is VERY SLIM chance that he'll either forbid Steam to sell anything in our country, or at least ban it FOREVER or make sanctions. :D And of course, I should write to Kim Jong Un. Maybe he'll wave a nuke at Gabe's HQ. :D

Online petitions are bullshit.

Let's start a petition to get them abolished.

If you read the signed petitions, you see that more than half of them are people who abuse Russian pricing to get cheapo games, and the other half are just hate messages with no constructive reason. I don't see that as a valid reason for Valve to change, since the regional pricing wasn't supposed to be bypassed, they are just enforcing it. Besides, you CAN gift to Russian if you're in the ROW region like USA, just not the other way around.

Meanwhile Gaben eating his burger while watching this and giving it 0 importance.

whats the point of that? it will change NOTHING. just a waste of time.

signed it but I don't think 100 signs will make any difference.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahhahahahhhwhehehehehheheeihiehiiohohohohhoooohohoohhhoohohohhoehhhhahahahahah
Sorry, I just had to laugh.

People really need to understand that Valve won't go back on this unless they start to lose money and, despite the delusions of some people on steamgifts, they're not, the region lock will most likely have no long term negative effect and very likely a positive one. Hell, they're probably making a ton even now during this sale, despite a lot of the deals are worse than the ones on the discovery sale so far, because if they were not the deals would get better.

And no, internet petitions don't do jack shit.

cant someone spam this on steamtrades? :V

Why Dont Steamgifts Just make a Region-locked Giveaway?
