I can't play TF2 anymore because I moved out of the region in which I bought it.

I filled out a Steam Support feedback ticket.

[!--quoteo(post=0:date=:name=Singspike)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE (Singspike)[div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]"When I moved, I changed regions, and now I can't play any Orange Box games.

This is getting quite frustrating. Let me explain with a bit of personal history. Because of my parents' job, I move around quite a bit. I saved for quite a while in order to buy the Orange Box in Singapore. I played it and enjoyed it throughly. Not too long after that, I find we have to move to Thailand. This summer, we came home for a six week break and I decided to install the Orange Box on my new laptop. I then found that, because it was region locked, It would not be possible to install it. That means that I won't be able to install it in Thailand either. This is really annoying because I love the Orange Box and other steam products; you really make quality games. This policy is a source of quite a bit of annoyance and frustration, and seems extremely short-sighted. Is there anyway to play them here and in Thailand? If not, I doubt I'll ever buy another Steam game because of this policy. Thank you for your time; I'll be eagerly awaiting a response."[/quote]

Yes. Buy it now, as long as your computer can handle.

self contradiction = paradox

what you mean to say is something along the lines of *pets his router worth $200 that he got free from at&t*

i mean, sure everyone gets what you mean, but if your a technical person who has to analyze everything he hears or sees, like me, you gonna notice that.

lucky for you, and everyone else, there arent a whole lot of people like me

Oh, he probably didn't have an account on these forums until yesterday, and it still hasn't been validated. He may have applied on the old forums.

Thank makes sense.

Tell ya what, bug an admin for access (try Vintus, he's a nice guy.) If that doesn't work, I'll fix you up in a few days when I get another set of keys for this VW van.

I haven't had anything to do with Steam since they let Team Garry update Gmod automatically for everyone and screw up the game for EVERYONE.

i never had anything to do with Steam because i dont even know who they are, and i dont own a 360

Post by: Flask on June 28, 2008, 01:00:19 am
Steam is a "content delivery" system for Valve. They distribute lots of their own and other company's games through it.

But Steam has nothing to do with the 360...it runs on the computer.
