Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

That game keys only work in a certain region and can not be activated in other countries.
Oh okay, thanks!
This is a tricky topic, but I don't see this as in the benefit of the customer at all (which is probably also why Valve didn't cooperate). This looks like the EU doing stuff for the sake of following rules that were meant for something completely different when first implemented.
