Really, now.

TL;DR but i dont see the problem its region restricted like many others why is this different? note i didnt read so probably missing details XD

Edit: read the summary on the vote page i dont see it as a big deal i suppose the fact they didnt realease this info prior to pre order shrugs

I like this idea. They should implement this for Dota2 to keep the Russians out of the US servers. Good job 2K!

This is a good thing. Seriously, I don't want people who barely speak English to ruin my game.
And no, I don't hate all Russians. I've met a few that knew English very well and weren't as annoying as the others, but the problem here is that most Russians are annoying as hell.

"No one told us about that when we preordered."
Really?? Pretty sure I remember a bunch of sites selling Borderlands 2 cheap, but were Russian region only.

If you don't like these restrictions, you should have stopped your fellow Ruskies from buying game keys dirt cheap in Russia and then selling them at a profit.

You have two options:

• Pay full price for a region-free game
• Pay a reduced price for a region-restricted game.

Up to you. There are plenty of places selling region-free copies.

They mad

Used to run a couple of servers (TF2, CSS, HL2DM) Never had problems with Russians, I find idiots annoying though, no matter where they're from, their gender, their age, etc. If you're an idiot you will be treated as one :P

cool story bro, im not russian so... shit happens...

I'd rather have 1C fucked out of here. They're annoying as hell, so yeah. Now Borderlands 2 and then...

You know, I am Russian and even I don't want to play russian ver. Our localization is twisted like hell. In each game, where is possible to select english language, I do it, cuz I've a strong command of it and can easily understand the context. If you want me to pay full price - fair enough, I will pay it, so give me fucking choice.

signed... this is actually pure Bullshit, Fuck 2K.
hope you guys achive the ROW version.

Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia are Baltish (EU) countries, not part of CIS countries. Publishers need go back to school to learn some geography/history :D. It's weird that Baltish countries are considered as part of CIS. In my country (Lithuania) many people do not understand Russian language, so how we gonna play this game? Just LOL :D.

Signed. This is complete bullshit, as far as I am concerned. And I live in SoCal, nowhere near thos affected. Getting a sub par, crippled version of a game is simply unacceptable.

In Soviet Russia, games play you!

I signed it. Pathetic to see how racist people are against russians.

Since Valve&2K ignores you, the only way out for you - learn Russian :)
Personally, I'll download the game from torrent. Pirates always provide excellent service - the game will be released a week before the worldwide release, in my native language, and will not cost me a cent!
Want my money - do normal service!

Iam sorry guys, this is bad, signed.

You guys blame on Russians. Ok, but just to remind ya: some of you get in touch with Russians when you want to get games at lowered Russian price via beneficial exchange. You wanna buy a 20$ game, but in Russia it costs 10$, so you ask Russians and give'em 10$ + some % to make'em buy you a game or you exchange it for a game that is 20> and >10 bucks. Did you know that Steam recently started to regionally-lock GIFTS!!! Yes, not keys, but gifts! Such games as Borderland 2, Darksouls (i mean preorder), Confrontation, F1 2012, Max Payne 3, Ridge Racer Unbounded, Spec Ops: The Line and The Witcher 2 can be activated ONLY in Russia if they're bought in Russia. So i would say you need to sign the petition for your own sake: one good day you'll wake up, knowing that you can't have cheap games anymore. And i guess you understand what it means for Steamgifts - fuck yeah! Russian users won't be scammers! They'll just give you a gift (which you honestly won) that CANNOT be activated. And we may not even be able to know if a gift is locked until we try to pass it to someone from the USA or Europe. So i would say it's pretty necessary to sign the petition... even if you're in opposition to Russians for some reason. Thank you for your cooperation.

I'll create a petition to Valve. I'd like to have cinnamon rolls in my Steam client

We have to pay $59.99 for the game...

Remove the regional and language restriction but pay the full price of the game...

That's pretty messed up, yo.

We are working with our partners to update those pages, and offer any customers who pre-ordered or pre-purchased the game the opportunity to cancel their order and receive a refund.

Additionally, we are working with our product development teams to investigate potential support for additional languages and options for our customers in these territories. While this was and is not possible for launch, we will provide an update this week on our progress.
