sathyabhat Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yo peeps,how to change Steam store region ? VPN. would recommend against that. High chance your account's likely to be locked. In my case, when I moved back to India, my transactions kept getting declined because of change in country as determined by the IP. Was one transaction away from getting account locked, per Steam support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) But i searched it and it shows that this item is not available in your region. Fallout 3 and New Vegas is not available in your region because of Brahmin controversy. But you can still buy from Amazon and other 3rd party sites (heck, even get it gifted on Steam) and play. Check DB yourself: http://steamdb.info/app/22380/#section_subs India is not locked in Asia region http://steamdb.info/sub/13359/ PurchaseRestrictedCountries HK Hong Kong SG Singapore TW Taiwan MY Malaysia ID Indonesia TH Thailand BN Brunei Darussalam PH Philippines KR Korea, Republic of CN China MO Macau That forum OP bought from HK, that's why.

Sach4life Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I have read that you can get a region locked game as a gift. But even if you have the disk of a region locked game, you can't redeem it on steam :/ A game you got as a gift would work even if its region locked but you can't redeem it yourself.

You can get gift from locked region but cannot redeem it. Simple. There is LOT of difference between region restriction and region lock. Fallout is region restricted. Witcher is region locked. You can activate and play Fallout anywhere. You can activate but cannot play Witcher if it's region locked. There is another thing. Region restriction and locked. In this case you cannot activate or play without changing your region/using appid trick. Ex: SKYRIM from RU region.

Sach4life Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 In short, i can redeem the code and simply play it without any problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 but amazon will be giving me code ..how will steam know its a gift?? as i would have to activate the game with that code. You can redeem the code directly on STEAM. It will come up in your inventory as a retail purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 In short, i can redeem the code and simply play it without any problem? Fallout? YES. It'll be redeemed as retail. I myself purchased keys from GG during price error. Next Fallout will be completely locked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Because of two-headed cows mutated by radiation - as pack animals. In Hindu religion, cows are revered and it wouldn't surprise me if the ability of players to shoot up herds of "brahmin" in Fallout 3 factored into the cancellation. The name of the radiated cows probably didn't help matters, either, as the term originates in India. "Brahman" is the name of a breed of cattle from India and the name of a prominent concept in Hindu religion ("the primal source and ultimate goal of all beings"). and I don't think Bethesda will get rid of it.

ALPHA17 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Why? Because Bethesda loves y'all, Yo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I know about the cow controversy. But are you sure that it would be present in the next game as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 It's been there since Fallout 1. I don't see any reason to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 ^ And those games can be purchased no trouble from STEAM or GoG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
