Please help stop steam from region locking game gifts!

OMG 500 SUPPORTERS AND STEAM WILL STOP REGION LOCKING ! OMG YOU THE BEST DUDE ! OMG

There was a thread about it already.

maybe 1 million would work

lol

Good luck with that. :)

Well it's rather simple actually. Just stop buying games on steam until they change their policy... But almost nobody is willing to do it.

I love how his excuse is "What if you have a friend in another country and you wish to give them a game as a gift?" yet hes from Minnesota...more like you want to receive gifts from Russian traders. Dont get me wrong, I would love Russian prices, but its not intended to be used that way so I'm not going to cry about it.

500 needed. lelelel

Opening another thread won't solve anything...

just a question : i've win a game with SG, but when i got it, region locked, and not for my country...
do i put "not received" cuz' he doesn't respect SG rules ?

Won't happen.

unless there is a big sale, i think no one would buy an expensive game at full price.. we should have a petition to close steam

maybe those 500 people are lord gaben family members? and they can convice? huh?

Where is the petition to tell steam great job at region locking. Good Job Steam your the best! (Not Sarcasm I actually like how they implemented the new region locked system)

You people know that it's the publishers who decide on region locking, not the seller, right? So even if a billion people sign up Steam won't be able to do anything about it…

I bet people on those regions prefer this over price increases or run-time locks.

gog.com?

First you should make a petition to your government to increase value of rouble, or keep in mind this sittuation when you go to vote again. I'am against region locks but I understand why it happend. You are lucky anyway coz they could increase prices as well, and it's not the steam itself it's about devs who don't want to sell their games dirt cheap.

Not gonna happen.

Best thing you can do is buy games on all platforms and 'hunt' for lower prices. For games that are region locked on every platform/store, I can only suggest you to get friends in other regions to help you out. But you have to make sure that the game is region locked from buying and not playing in your country.

I do agree with you however. Region locking is simply retarded and can only lead to lower income for publishers, same publishers that then start yelling at the moon that it's not their fault and the pirates are ruining the industry.
