and sitting in a country where their rules arent worth the paper their wrote on.

Just because they write something and insist you agree to it, doesnt mean its legal for them to do so.
ofc, when im banned and arguing that with them instead of playing... that might not be worth much ;) but they have no legal grounds.

-edit-
Steam care about 3 things, money, money and money. As long as VPN's dont cost them money (and they dont for activations, only purchases) then it makes little difference to them financially. If anything, the fact that gamers benefit by getting it earlier via steam, its an argument to buying it FROM them, so they stand to gain financially if some people purchase direct knowing they'd get it a little earlier. The rule only exists for preventing people purchasing when they shouldnt, and shutting up the physical stores who wont be too impressed at losing sales.
As others have said, given the day & age we live in, theres absolutely no reason for split releases. Its stupid, and if the retailers wanted to put a stop to it, then they'd kick up a fuss about release dates, not trying to steal peoples legitimately paid for accounts because the rest of the world get it earlier than we do.
Films & Music manage on Mondays, why cant we be Wednesday? or even Thursday like most of Europe. Instead, rather than address the matter in a pro-active customer friendly manner, they'd rather bully us, the people they depend on to keep their businesses alive, retailers like GAME might do well remembering that.

I'd imagine that it's more the publishers putting pressure on Valve to adhere to their antiquated distribution methods than something Valve want to implement themselves.
 
Just so you are all aware, im going through the thread adding a load of you.

my steam ID is - SladdyDeeve

feel free to add me too.
 
Currently debating whether or not to risk using a VPN to unlock this. It's just sitting in my steam library taunting me
 
You can add me if you want guys, I'm in the OcUK steam group anyway.

As for all this VPN nonsense, I'd much rather wait until weekend and properly sit down and relax and play BL2, than be sat at work, the need to play BL2 even greater because I had just played the night previous.
 
Just bought from GMG for £21, cannot go far wrong at that price, enjoyed the first one hope the second one is great as well :)

Your not alone in thinking that as im currently thinking the same, surely if were in offline mode theres not much they can do?

There probably isn't. But that means you can't talk to anyone on Steam, nor can you play co-op with anyone.

Waiting till I get home from work on Friday and spending as much of the weekend as possible playing it seems to the better option.
 
add me guys, I am getting this. I have 21 friends in my list already own it, always good to have more friends.
 
I have a private mumble server that will stay on 24/7 a few ocuk members already use this. By all means people are welcome to play borderlands on it. Add me on steam and I will give you the details. :D
