I have Steam sickness.. so many good games downloaded, and I can't stick with just one for more than a bit of a time. Damn these options.

Probably just means you'd need to VPN to activate it because it's a key that's not for sale in your region?
You bought a region restricted key. By "purchase cancelled" they mean "activation process has been cancelled". The key is still valid, but can be used in Brazil or South America only (depends on the lock itself).

It means it's activation locked. That is often clearly stated on Nuuvem's page. Check steamdb to see if it was any runtime locks. If it doesn't,just get a VPN and activate the key.
these should all work, I think... /shrug

so, since when keys can be region locked and why we had no talk about it? it looks like pretty big deal to me, instead of talking about irrelevant stuff I mean. I would have preferred to know that now it's the case before making any decisions, but I didn't.
edited: I mean the game itself isn't region locked as far as I know.
They should word it this way then, I mean that activation is cancelled, it scared the hell out of me.
Keys can be region locked since like a decade ago or more, its nothing new só of course nobody is discussing that.
i got a dupe key. no big deal.
What are you talking about? I never have seen this before or had it happen and we talked before that keys can't be region locked many times also and are safe unlike gifts, kindly elaborate what you mean by "a decade ago".
welp, it was a groupees key with a un-checked box, so I thought I hadnt used it, but like I said wasnt sure. no cards for you!

Keys can be region specific the same way a sub can.
Any key you're attempting to redeem basically works by granting the redeemer access to one of the particular subs for an app. If a game has region specific subs and you buy it from a region within those subs (for example. Tembo the Bad Ass Elephant has a Brazil/SA sub, so if you buy Tembo from Nuuvem, you'll get a key for that sub, most likely).
This is how you can end up with a key that's activation locked, as Bernardo pointed out.

This has been discussed so many times over it isn't even funny.
Keys could always be region locked. Not news now, not news 10 years ago.
People discussed here a shitload of times on how to check if a particular game on Nuuvem is locked or not.
The only thing said about keys is that they don't have a region lock applied universally like Gifts do. Publisher still have the option to do that if they wish so, they always had . nobody said keys can't be locked

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I try to stay up with the latest news and I've listened to/watched all of UC Berkeley Webcasts on Astronomy over the past few years. They're free so it's a great way to take a refresher course without having to worry about credit (or paying) and they're pretty well put together.

I am only a little bit through Act 1 of DreadOut but I can recommend if you want to be spooped.. it has an eerie atmosphere which is good and plays pretty well.. it's not so much about jump scares but I had one that actually spooped me and I usually don't get spooped.
it's like a cross between silent hill and fatal frame, but not as good as either of those, but it's made by a small team and is rather impressive what they have accomplished compared to other indie (or even AAA) horror games that aren't named Alien Isolation, it's probably better than evil within I dunno
Will play more later tonight when it gets dark and after I play some Assault Android Cactus and check out Prison Architect for the first time (was waiting for it to come out of early access because I am an idiot when it comes to those types of games)

If it wasn't region locked then you would have activated it just fine...

Neptunia Re;Birth 1-3
Fairy Fencer F
Mugen Souls
Pretty crazy when you think about it.

It's kinda nostalgic in that awkward PS2 era way, where the camera is a bit at odds with the tight corridors and the animations are obviously canned and disconnected from the rest of the world. But it did a lot of stuff right, so I really loved the time I spent with it. Can't wait for the open world expansion later this year/next year.
actually it reminds me more of Siren x Fatal Frame than Silent Hill but yeah it is a little janky but no more janky than the ps2 horror games were
also I am using Indonesian voices it's cool
Ah
Ahah
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
I'd like to hear your opinion on the game when you're done.
I take my words back, I somehow managed to miss that sub, misclicked or just skipped by accident, totally my mistake, I should have double checked... Oh well, too late now.
Pretty sure it'll be 5 Arc System Works games by the end of year too.
someone please explain to me the phenomenon of people on gaming side choosing to buy a game on a console because their PC "can't run it on max settings" at resolutions higher than 1080p when the console cannot be upgraded to make the game look better down the road and it won't even run on 'max settings' at less than 1080p anyways
it makes my brain hurt
it makes my brain hurt
Thanks!
I knew about this part coming in, but it still managed to scare me lol
No idea why I'm playing this game tbh. I hate horror but decided that I have to play this for whatever reason, and the plot is interesting so now I want to know how it ends

People are uninformed and speak anyways, but it's easier just to ignore them they don't want to learn they just want to be right.

Compile Heart? Only one game in that list is by Compile Heart - Mugen Souls, all others are IFs, even if Compile Heart is a part of IF, there is still a difference.

Ugh, that doesn't sound good
Nice! I'm a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, which is basically just a big nerdy astronomy club.
What game is it? It might only be activation locked, in which case just use a VPN and activate it.
If I had a current gen console, I could see getting a game like Witcher 3 to play on it because it won't run on my PC at all. But then, if I had money for a current gen console, I'd also have money for a new video card...
