I used a VPN to activate the game. Got it from nuveem, since its the cheapest and it gives the key immediately unlike some other retailers like GMG. If I get banned I'll just pirate this game and all of Konami's games in the future..

Should be OK since veteran people with massive steam game library over at NeoGAF gaming forums said they use VPN to activate games, just make sure don't use VPN to buy games from Steam Store.

Preloaded, played the demo version on my PS3 and loved it. Hope Bayonetta comes to PC as well. Platinum Games makes the best games around.

this game. wow. awesome graphics and damn cool gameplay. best action game I played in a long time.

BTW, region lock is still on. and the always online crashing is a bug, will be fixed in the next patch.

buy it at amazon/nuveem, get the code and activate it using VPN like hotspot shield.

should be no problem, steam is lenient about activating codes except for russian codes.

still, do it at your own risk. i activated the code before the game even released and till now my account is still fine.

there are many people that do this in gaming forums like NeoGAF forums. they are people who have 1000+ games in their accounts saying its safe to do it.

my account is still fine, steam didnt ban me. I can't say its 100% safe either. just do at your own risk.
