They simply forgot to region lock DLC?
Steam has default prices for each currency and every price point, that are set even if product isn't available in that region. (Exception is products where price hasn't been adjusted after currency is added.).

Ah. I didnt know that.
Still. The asian regionlock thing for anime-games, I really dont understand. Like DB Xenoverse 1 isnt available in China, 2 is now. And 2 was regionlocked till release, now its not.
Then Saint Seiya isnt, but Naruto is and AoT.

I'm guessing that a retailer got exclusive publishing right in China?

I just wonder who that is? I mean sometimes its not available in Japan, Korea, China, but Taiwan and HK.
Sometimes not in Korea and China.
Sometimes China and India.
I just think one of the biggest fanbase of such games, especially the One Piece or Naruto games, is in China.

a lot of splinter cell games on sale for 9.99 . Conviction 5 bucks too.
Next time use game save manager.

Oh. So Bandai-Namco just didnt release it there because of that.
Still strange, since the fanbase there is also huge. I mean we have stuff like Huniepop available in China, that, if checked by the government, would surely be banned.
But One Piece and Naruto isnt, so I wonder why these arent available there.

Guys, I'm replaying through Mafia 2 (first time on PC, played it on PS3 a few years ago, forgot how pretty it looks), but I'm having some issues with the camera. At times, the camera is wayyy too close and it obscures a lot.
Usually it should look like this:
But then when you enter an area that makes the camera close up, sometimes it'll stay that way until you enter a car and then step out of it:
A quick Google search didn't help me.

I though Gleam was Digital Homicides thing and they weren't making any cash from it so limited to just their own games.

Abusing systems is what we usually do, right? Buying games from other regions for cheap, maximizing price mistakes, etc. Maybe I should've just keep it to myself and let other people do it instead. There are holes in the system, and the faster people expose them to public, the better.
Anyway, I paid Skyrim for $10 after they stopped selling Legendary Editon for less than that. It's about the same price or even higher than the amount of money people paid for Legendary Edition. I have the rights for it.
Yes, that's highly probable and I would be fine by that.

Never played Skyrim, feeling like playing Skyrim SE... decisions, decisions...

Heck, there's an entire thread a while back dedicated to exploiting an obvious system error on EA Origin. Sometimes I'm confused where the morality line lies around here.

I spent 110+ hours on PS3 and didn't even start the whole war story. Also 45 hours on PC just wandering around poking things.
What chance Assassin's Creed Revelations being on sale? Getting old is the scariest thing imaginable, spooky clowns are nothing.

Great thanks, Some mixed reviews on STeam but personally think it looks great
Six hours of working to ensure the mods you want to get the game playable are all installed and working with each other, ten minutes in game to confirm they all work, then a minute to close it and open a vastly superior game. Like any of them.

The website layout is way too nice to belong to Digital Homicide. They only work with developers directly now, and not third party groups.

GMG sure handled sourcing grey market keys for Titanfall 2 well. They are just now sending keys to customers, over half a day after the game was released. In addition, they kept advertising pre-order bonuses but now because their unofficial source (sorry, "authorised distributor") didn't provide them with pre-order bonus keys, they simply won't issue any pre-order bonuses to customers. Bonuses they used to advertise the game in the first place up until yesterday.
Another job well done. Also despite using unofficial sources for games, GMG remains uncompetitive when it comes to prices. Maybe they grew too quickly but these days GMG just doesn't have any advantages over other stores, even key selling sites.

Thanks for the responses.
I only had a sound change mod because I found it extremely funny, so I can live without it if they don't update it, I normally prefer to play games without mods anyway.
I played a long ago and I did some things but I don't remember much. I would like to start again, though, but I love my character appearence and I don't know if I would be able to replicate it.

Those were the days...
So I started playing Civ V last night about 10 PM. I randomly looked down at my watch when I felt my eyes getting heavy and...it was 1 AM. I can see the appeal, and I don't know even know what I'm doing.
Anyone have any good tutorial videos or should I just figure it out on my own? I got the basics.

I feel like if you have the basics down then you're probably best off just playing and trying new things. Civ is good fun even if you end up losing.
If you do want to watch some videos I would always recommend checking out a notable Lets Player like Quill18 or Marbozir on YouTube and just watch them play. Both are pretty good about saying why they make a lot of decisions.

What are the chances of Don't Starve Together going on sale for Halloween? It's a survival game and looks darkish right?

Rest assured that it will go on sale.
