You can get the game just fine. Steam gifts aren't subject to region locks, so just trade for it with a foreigner who is able to purchase the game. Just ask around on the Steam forums, and you should find someone able and willing to make a trade.

Though if you really want the game from somewhere other than Steam, I guess you're up shit creek...

Tarm: Depends on what kind of tree it falls on. If it's say a spruce and falls on a birch then it's racist.

Titanium: Nope. Just pine-on-pine action.
Then I sure hope that one of the pines isn't greener than the other.

I've never played Scribblenauts. Wouldn't it be funny if we were getting into this over a game that sucks?

If you get it gifted from an American, same thing.
If that would happen inside the EU, it would violate EU trade laws. -.-

Protoss: So Warner Bros. is racist against Europeans again
Guess that makes Japan a part of Europe then =P

I was going to get Scribblenauts, then a I realised that if it's anything like the DS version, I'd hardly play it enough to even warrant the $7.50 Amazon want it. So decide to not commit credit card fraud for it. Will wait till the Steam summer sale when it's released, and cheap to once again determine if I'd actually play it then.

Same green tone but one is taller than the other. It's a clear case of height and, by extension, age discrimination. And probably bullying.

Alright folks! Let's assemble, make signs and start marching!

Leroux: This is not what they mean by social or cultural good, it's first and foremost a commercial good, and not even an essential one, more of a luxury good.
Since video games are in the Deutscher Kulturrat since 2008, they are a cultural good here.

LOL! I really love the "everything's fine as long as the publishers don't find out" approach. :D Tread lightly, like on eggshells...

Come to think of it, maybe the "List of DRM-free games on Steam"-thread should be closed here before some of the publishers find out it is sometimes possible to circumvent the Steam client DRM?

No, that is both sizist and speciesist, not racist.
(who gets the reference?)

C'mon, you know what I mean. Anyway, Merry Christmas! :)

I do not think it is okay to have an exception for imported video games. If I import anything else from abroad, I expect it to work in the same way. Why not video games? Why do I have restrictions that are purely artificial and dictated by a company who gives an advantage to his own country on it? Even though it is the IDENTICAL product!

Imagine I would create a car that has a GPS to make sure it only works in Germany, and if you buy it abroad you must wait for four months until you can use it.
I imagine my company would be dead in less than a year!
