Many games are being blocked because I am outside USA :-((

Meh @ Direct2Drive... I know it's cheap.. but i'd rather spend more to have them on steam

qhn · 10-07-2009, 10:35 AM

Alternative Steve, only alternative.

For $5.00 specials, it is hard to ignore

cheers .,..

Aw man, games for less than €3.50! Sweet, but again, I'm outside the US. Don't see the need for the restriction, after all, money is money.

The need for restriction is due to the content of the games. Many contents are deemed too violent for some countries and not the others.

Just like Walmart watered down version of many music CDs, if they are to be sold in WalMart stores.

cheers ...

Wow, World in Conflict, Supreme Commander Gold and Bioshock for $5 each. Good deals.

qhn · 10-07-2009, 02:56 PM

You said it.

And I could not get (download) any of them due to the IP address of Germany. The Germans block the sale of these games, unless the version is being germanized (WalMart PG version)

Too violent? From the country that brought us World Wars 1 and 2?
