immi101: So what's the trick to buy the regional locked games as a german, when not being in germany?
I'm currently in spain, and still cant access those titles. Loggin out, and logging in again doesnt work.
I thought the restriction was ip-based?
That's strange... Have you tried changing you 'COUNTRY' setting?

It says it's only for being displayed in the forums, but who knows...

Try clearing your cookies, that should normally help.

Oddeus: Can somebody tell me, what regional locked games ate at sale at the moment? Please satisfy my curiosity.
Dying Light
Gun
Hotline Miami 2
Kingpin: Life of Crime
Painkiller: Black Edition
Quake II
Quake III
Red Faction
Red Faction 2
Redneck Rampage Collection
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Wolfenstein 3D

These are the ones that should be on sale for sure. There might be some that I've missed though.

Edit: Of course I got ninja'd.

GUN, Dying Light, Kingpin: Life of Crime, Doom 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Redneck Rampage and maybe some others.

edit: PaterAlf was faster and his list is more complete. Hotline Miami 2 is locked in australia, but not in germany.

Hmmm... but the Bethesda/Id Software games are not listed in MaGog's result. She doesn't recognize them as being discounted:

Maybe her next update (which is about to take place in a few minutes) will amend that.

Thank you too. Funny, Return to Castle Wolfenstein does not appear on the MaGog list.

moonshineshadow: Try clearing your cookies, that should normally help.
probably, but then I also have to relogin in every other forum i am using, which is annoying.
Visiting gog.com in a private browsing session works, but is also kind of inconvenient.
What's the point of a cookie based check in addition to the ip-based check?
At least gog should cleanup all their stuff when logging out.

Now it does, along with the rest of the Id Software games. :)

MaGog is suddenly able to see Red Faction with a DE cookie.

Can someone from Germany please confirm whether Red Faction is indeed no longer regionally (b)locked in Germany?

I can confirm that it is not regionally locked at the moment. :)

Edit: Fun thing is that it only costs $7.50 in Germany, because you get the "Complete the series" discount when you buy it. :)

Well, it's a big series for you, at the moment.
Cheers.

Red Faction is also available to German Steam customers again, so I don't think this is an accident. Maybe the game is no longer on the Index. If that's true, we'll know by the end of the month.

It's also available again here :)

I've removed Red Faction from the list and the mix
