I noticed they changed it:

It means that you can play it wherever you are, the specified country is only needed to activate it.

are you sure? they only changed the word, it is still region restricted.

once added to our library, we can only play it in those countries.

...and most games only shows the first one.

As for why some games aren't playable in other countries, it could be the similar case with L4D Germany---where if you own any other version of the games, you won't be able to play it when you're in Germany.

Not like you travel all the time and play during your vacation trip anyway.
Unless you are studying abroad or working abroad there is always offline mode to bypass the restrictions.

Lol guys, if you want to know how to bypass the region lock when you are overseas, i can teach you how for free.

No need for vpn, no need for any tools, its pretty simple. only to people who genuinely want to play the game when you are in overseas.

Don't bother with region locked games, you never know if you have to leave Malaysia and hundreds of rm is wasted cause you can't play your games outside of sea.

If you need region free games, contact me, but price will be in euros for region free game, i don't profit.
