Help With Russian Steam Addiction

What does that mean? am I poorer than the average Russian or richer? :P

And what about others who make even less than russians but have to pay eurozone absurdly high prices...

Rome 2 Total War

Won't be no bundle.

I live in Israel, Steam is already much cheaper...

Nope.

Not the preorder afaik.

Piracy came first, then low prices followed in an attempt to stop the piracy. Piracy rate is so high mostly because most Russians literally cannot afford games at normal prices. It's not like most other people that pirate because they don't feel like paying or don't feel like the dev deserves money, but they still want to play the game.

Piracy is now probably noticeably lower than before the low prices.

Most the games I want aren't :P

So true.

I also want to thank the OP because today she has created two different topics that could be summed up with a simple statement: Hi Everyone I'm 13 yo and my world is a mess! (My dad doesn't give me enough money to buy games, and I'm sad cuz some silly fans "could have" committed suicide.)

Thanks vcvc8 :)

Most of these keys have region-lock.

I live in Israel and pay on Steam with dollars, here most games cost about 300 Sheqels upon release which translates to about 85 dollars a game, and the lowest price games come out in is about 63 dollars...

Well games that have restrictions say that it's restricted on the shop page, the specific one I want isn't restricted...

Chronicles of Riddick is not available for purchase on Steam in all countries because this game was just removed from Steam-store.

As I've written above, most games on Steam do not have regional restrictions, otherwise people from CIS won't be able to giveaway games here.

Shhh, I want to see him QQ

I traded for them though... Say I wasn't aware I was given a Russian copy, will I get banned?

It always amazes me that people actually admit to or promote the use of VPNs and smurf accounts to take advantage of the russian discounts illicitly when their steam account profiles could easily be linked back here.

Anyways, reported you on Steam. Enjoy your ban.

Not to mention games in Germany are castrated.

Meanwhile, Europe enjoys better education, healthcare, less gun violence, actual worker's rights, and authentic, not plastic history :P

Gun violence and racism are bigger concerns than game prices.

what the fuck?

more rights = higher game prices?
gay rights = higher game prices?

well fuck me then Germany should price their stuff at twice the price of US. (not from germany or us btw). Its much safer, and their gay rights are much more prominent than that of USA.

In cis dollar chost more than in eu. Use google.

well, i like them to globalize. Otherwise many of the current games would just not exist. And I would not care if i had to pay 7,50€ for an AAA game in summer sale instead of russian 5€. I mean, if i CAN then i DO it, but if i would not be able to I would still be happy with the good steam prices.

ахахаха, четкий комент ^_^

:D молодца xD

Actually it's not like this. There are some games with regional restrictions but most (appr. 95%) titles are region free.

Otherwise people from CIS wouldn't be able to giveaway games here at all.
