Hey guys, got an old copy of Left 4 Dead 2 (AU) in my inventory I'm trying to do a GA with. On release, the game had a low violence requirement for the Australian market (which no longer exists - Patched out). Steamdb doesn't tell me if this is then regionally restricted or not. Would it be region-free and just free-patched to full violence version or regionally restricted to Australia?

Not sure, to be safe you could always gift to the region Australia?

That'd be my fallback, if no one has an answer. Would be preferred to open it up to a large GA pool, though ^_^

My guess is it would still be the low violence version, as on the Australian storefront, there's a free Uncensored DLC? Maybe since the patch, new purchases automatically include the patch, but if your gift was from before then not.

The Low violence version isn't around anymore, I don't believe, at least not in Australia. But that don't address if the gift copy "Left 4 Dead 2 (AU)" I've had for 10-15 years would be redeemable by people outside the region :)

German storefront has still a low violence version on their storefront and an Uncensored DLC

Looking at SteamDB there are two different SubIDs for AU and DE

And one common Uncensored DLC
