Arkham Knight up for Pre-Order on Nuuvem (Steam Key, $28) no region lock

MUnited83

For you.
they won't retroactively block it, and if so like said there's always refunds

what they will probably do is lock the purchase behind a VPN like with other games. Seems like an oversight / mistake in this case.

Well, depends on Warner Bros really. It could happen. At the moment not a single of the subs of keys for Arkham Knight are region locked. So even russian keys are region free. That can change however. That said, Nuuvem will refund you if that happens, as the purchase is available for international buyers. (you don't have a right to a refund because of region lock if you purchase through VPN).

I've seen people complaining on release day about not having keys.... It's not like I haven't experienced that issue with GMG.

well it depends on publisher and demand

it didnt happen with GTAV which were in time for preload, it did happen with MKX for some people, which the whole PC release was a mess
 
Yeah this still doesn't sit right with me. It's potentially assholey to Brazilians and it's assholey to all stores that aren't Brazilian. Because we feel entitled to a deep discount before the game's even out. And then we complain about DLC, microtransactions and publishers being greedy and whatnot. There might be alleviating circumstances for some, but that's not me. I feel I should pay what's fair, AKA around what a new PC game usually costs, not the least amount possible. Assuming the game's not some manner of shit, in which case I won't pay anything at all. Which is another thing. Pre-ordering is generally dumb.

Ok.

I'll buy my copy in honor of you and remember my discount fondly.

Thanks Salsa.
 
Can't create an account sits at validating.. Unfortunate

Instead of creating the account during checkout, use this link.

I had the same issue but stumbled upon that and it worked for me. I also made the Screen Name different than the login as others had that be the culprit of their validating problem.
 
I keep getting a 404 every time I try to check out now.

If you still haven't been able to complete a purchase, are you trying to use a VPN? Using a VPN had me redirected to a 404 on my cart and account page until I turned it off (when we realized we didn't need it).
 
Good deal but I don't want to risk waiting around on release day for it. Is this website always the same price? Or is this a temporary price?

Is this game good? $30 is a decent price.

I haven't even started playing GtA V yet (been downloading it for the last 14 days - horrible connection).

Then I have The Witcher 3 code already redeemed.

Decisions...
 
Can't you get refunds from pre orders?

it's just the price in brazil, they're not necessarely selling it for much cheaper there

but whereas steam games are region locked to run and gift; most cd keys arent, so this works

what's weird about this one is not having to use a VPN to buy it, but I expect that to change soon

It's headquartered in Brazil and primarily caters to the PC gaming market there. In developing countries, the price of games is typically lower because of average income differences.

The typical "AAA" release goes for 99,99 Brazilian real on Nuuvem.

Edit: Beaten.
Well that's good to know, thanks guys.

GMG has been good to me so I'd rather keep my preorder than try to get a refund to save a few bucks., but I'll definitely keep my eye on Nuuvem for future games.

Bought. Thanks for the heads up. I've gotten the VIP deal from GMG in my cart a few times and reneged on it, but this was too good not to buy.

Oh dude, this got pushed to JUNE?!?

Man...

Well, I'll give this a try. I watched how GTA5 panned out and all my friends got that game on the cheap while I missed out.
