HATRED giftable to germans?

In case the gift shows no region lock to the original buyer, you can activate it anywhere you want.

You should be able to activate & play it. The game doesn't have the runtime lock. You just can't activate a game key or buy it on the steam store in Germany or Australia.

It should work, only key activation is blocked. It's entirely the developers’ decision having it blocked though. None of the corresponding authorities in Germany have reviewed that game yet. They could sell for now if they wanted to.

aight i wanted to get the DESURA version but seems this game gets a workshop too.

This sucks so bad. You would think that giving up on the physical games would make it easier for adults to access those games, but nope, they are censoring and policing every fucking bit.
All the VPN stuff annoys me as well. It was easier when you could just order from the UK but Steam has to be the shittiest of 'em all of course.
