hello,

I found another thread on this forum where another person was helped in this regard (http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=21271.0) and I was wondering if someone would be willing to extend this same aid to me too.

The "game" I am looking for is the 2k mega pack.

I would of course send you the money via paypal before you have to do anything. I doubt I could buy anyone a game in return, as everything is more expensive in my region, but if interested I also have a 5$ off (if order is above 50$) from play-asia I wouldn't mind parting with.

Thanks a lot for any assistance regarding this.

No of course he's not. What I'm saying is artificial restrictions like regions make no sense in the modern digital world. So while the distributors continue to treat customers like this, it's no surprise that many (other) people turn to piracy.

It's not always just artificial region restrictions. Some games are censored in certain countries, but if someone buys the game in an uncensored country and gifts it to someone in a censored country, they get to play the uncensored version.

hello,The "game" I am looking for is the 2k mega pack.

Link please - some of us other geo-challenged game nuts might want to throw money at Deozaan  :P


nvm, found 'em - ooooohhhhhhh, goodies galore!

EDIT: BTW, if anyone not in the US of A is interested, (or even if you are), in just how much Steam rip you off: SteamPrices

Especially useful is the Top Savings lists - some things are actually cheaper than the US....who'd a thunk it!
