Btw, didn't Valve just region lock everything? Or am I free to go buying Ground Zeroes from Nuuvem?

Edit:
Nevermind, I keep getting this 404 page. Is anyone willing to buy the key for me? I can PayPal right away.

Oh well, if anyone want to help me out buying a MGS: Ground Zeroes key from Nuuvem, please let me know in a PM, here in this thread or on Steam. I can PayPal right away, so that it can be bought. Thanks in advance. :)

Nobody does tropical beaches and swimwear showoffs like Team Ninja. Looking forward to getting my butt kicked when online becomes avail.

I should start practicing with Ultimate. Get back into the groove but then again Last Round will be Online less for a few months so I might have enough time there.

That's pretty easy: to profit from it. Now that the russian prices are no longer a thing he can sell them for a higher price.

Why those specific games though? Walking Dead is frequently discounted, and 7 Days isn't exactly hugely popular. Why not diversify that portfolio a bit?
 
How do I order from Nuuvem using Hola? I tried putting MGS:GZ in the cart, then click the paypal button, and then I disabled Hola. The page then reloaded and the game disappeared from the cart. Tried this a few times already.

Yeah, you're not the first person to experience problems on Nuuvem when using Hola. Just do this instead:

Download FlyVPN Lite ("portable" executable as opposed to an installer) -> connect to one of the two free servers -> connect to Brazil -> go to Nuuvem -> disable the VPN once you reach the PayPal window.
 
weird, so i can see my inventory in Chrome where i don't have enchanced steam installed but it never loads on firefox, where i do. Wonder if it's an issue with ES or something firefox related.

well it was fun guys

So we get all the problems associated with having cheap prices but we actually pay the same as the US. Thanks, Valve!

Do I need to disable it before inserting my paypal user name and password?

EDIT: When I open FlyVPN it says I need a user name and password. Screw that, I'm not registering.

Well I won a couple of my auctions from last night and surprisingly there's still a few deals to be had so I may grab a couple more. Gem prices didn't jump up either but I still expect a crash at the end. This whole thing has been entertaining which means the winter event will no doubt be a letdown.

You have to disable hola? I've never done that, I just continue with hola on and use the key. Have I just been lucky and the keys I've gotten aren't region locked or what? Why do I need to turn it off?
Edit:ah okay I read freedom's post. Its good, I change my password after using vpns.

If they could at least do the equivalent of Brazil's prices but in USD at the very least this wouldn't be so bothersome. Like it is now? Force us to pay full US price for locked copies? Daaaamn.

Gaben, por favor.

You're very welcome, I'm glad you found a few sources for it there. I hope you get a copy on favourable terms, a key or less is a good price certainly. It's a genre I adore myself, I only have one title (realistically) on my wishlist for this sale and that is Anno 1404. Another great title to look out for if you don't already own it. Personally I think it the best on Steam in the city management category.

Yeah, I picked up Anno 1404 with the expansion last sale and I'm looking forward to checking it out. I found Anno 2070 to be pretty good but it lacked the charm that the Settlers games have.
However, it's not that hard to be the best city management game on Steam when there's no Settlers 2,3,4 and no Impressions Games on Steam.

Someone (

) should contact Ubisoft and Activision and ask why they are available on GOG but not Steam.
