i notice batman aa and resident evil 5 are showing up on the steam store for me. not sure what that mean though

You need to have an @hotmail or @live, hotmail account with an address from one of the supported countries and you'll be fine.

This example here is the worst problem of games, them being sold in the entire world and not having support for all the countries, just like Steam doesn't sell you various games in various regions, games that you're able to buy and you're forced to activate them on Steam, yet if you want to purchase some DLC (and every game these days has DLC) you're not able to because the game is region restricted...retarded.

if i recall, there's a scheme involving offline accounts and US gamertags to make games work on non-supported regions, but i can't remember the details, so TC would have to google it.BrunoBRS

That's not a trick, that's being unable to use your games, offline gamertags you can make without doing a single thing, but you won't get multiplayer or anything else, just singleplayer.

[QUOTE="rilpas"]this thread brings up an interesting question for me I plan on moving from Europe to the US in a few months does that mean that my european GFWL games will be locked?DanielDust

that's good

but man, Microsoft better step up their game with GFWL. I have no idea what they're thinking with all these needless copy protections

gfwl is purposeless and thats the way M$ wants it. a pointless waste of space to annoy

[QUOTE="rilpas"]

[QUOTE="DanielDust"] No, there is absolutely no protection or limitation, it just checks if the MS mail account you used to activate GFWL has an address from one of the supported countries, "when the account gets created", a one time only.ionusX

then again, the way things have been going lately, consoles are obviously on the way out.

the PS3 and 360 received next to no exclusives this year
