That's totally obnoxious if true.

It's worth the try but Steam is apparently very good at detecting VPN and proxies.

Sadly, Japan is one the worse Steam country there is.

I bought Scribblenauts after awesome reviews on an Amazon.com sale for $7.49 and activated it on Steam. Problem: release date in Europe is late February, so it's just sitting there, pre-loaded, unplayable.

Based on forum chatter using a proxy to get around such restrictions violates the Steam EULA, and people had their accounts supposedly cancelled over that.

I spent most of last night playing Faster Than Light. It is very very simple but oh so addictive.

:yes:  FTL is one of the best games of 2012 and has eaten up a ton of my time of late.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Shit!
It seems steam made a completely new account for these new games. Thats just ridiculous, seems to be no  way to merge them too. Well, that's the last time I buy stuff from steam. Experiment over.

Why would he want to do that? :)

Steam would just explain that, while they are willing to make their service idiot-proof, going all the way to Tyr-proof is too expensive and thus unreasonable.

I actually have two Apple IDs which I only discovered recently. Thankfully one of them has nothing associated with it and I haven't used since college. -_-

The hilarious bit is that "Steam" apparently made this new account for him.  Never did he arrive at a point where he selected his account name and password and it was made completely obvious what he was doing.  I'm sure some vile Steam rep just hopped onto his computer and typed it all up for him, then gave him the information.

Can't he just gift the game over to his other account?  I've never gifted a game ( I don't have many friends), but I was under the impression you could give your games away.


Syt's problem is a bit more obnoxious.  I have no idea why they stagger release dates out for different countries.  There is probably some good reason, but I don't know what it is.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
