FAR CRY 2!

comeradealexi · 19 Oct 2008 at 17:35

I have been looking around for Far Cry 2 and im so confused to why u cannot buy the game through steam and direct 2 drive?!

why would Ubisoft limit the game to only being available to people from the US to download the game!?

DO THEY WANT PEOPLE TO PIRATE IT?

i really dont get it.

also i think that all these people getting so annoyed over the DRM is just stupid - this game looks amazing - why turn it down to something that is unlikely to affect them.

anyways about the downloading thing outside the US...

whats with that!?

i know, but i dont understand why they would not let you download it outside the US?

i dont like disks - disks get scratched - steam doesnt!

It never stops the pirates, they crack steam games just as quick as they do normal games.

get to know someone in america, and they can gift it to you.

so why is it not available through steam outside the US?

Know anyone who could do it for me?

Got a friend who tried with my paypal, picked up it was from Europe and cancelled the transaction.

That's not his point, his point is we want steam as otherwise pirating is better than buying a retail copy... We want to download it, legally or illegally, just don't want to have anything to do with a retail copy and dvd any more...

Anyways just buy it in shops and crack it tbh...

i dont understand why they are restricting it to just the US

Why not just email Ubisoft and/or Valve and ask them?

Secret_Window · 19 Oct 2008 at 19:49

americans always get it first digitally, then eventually the rest of the world 10 months later. Well it may as well be.

comeradealexi · 19 Oct 2008 at 19:50

I emailed valve - never emailed them before - they usually reply?

theres no point to that though since the world has access to torrents and you can buy it on disk anyway!

ummmmm this isn't the officially official of official threads bad OP

In a strange way I prefer discs, though it is silly that another region gets digi purchase and we dont.

probably down to Ubisoft having an agreement with the shops over here
