I already contacted HP about resetting the region, that isn't an issue. I've also used third party cartridges in the past with it, I just wasn't sure if those were still region locked or not, as I know the third party places there actually had an exchange program where they took back your old cartridge (you got a discount) and I assume they reused it by refilling it somehow.

It wasn't an HP printer when I bought it, it was samsung, and it's a very good printer.
I have the colour laser jet as I'm printing things that will be kept around like print and play games, or standees for skirmish/rpg games. I may give it a go on one colour though and see. I just wasn't sure if the official and region locking part of these cartridges was in the same bit or if it was something that might have to be bypassed separately. But if you're getting cartridges from aliexpress then it's probably fine.
The printer is a samsung originally, HP owns their overseas business, and they have an identical model here just branded with HP. it's a really good printer. It's the Samsung version of the HP Color Laser 178nw.
Which makes me think that the 3rd party replacement cartridges would be fine, I'd just like to know for sure before wasting money on them. I actually don't mind the original cartridges. We did replace our yellow with a 3rd party cartridge at one point and you could actually see a difference, but for the time being I just want to get as much as we can out of our old cartridges before making the official switch.
Playing it now. It's not bad. It's not great. The flying is the laziest implementation I've ever seen.
sales are supposed to matter. You aren't supposed to offer a bigger sale on another site than you will offer on steam in a reasonable time frame. Funny that never applied to the makers of the Witcher when they gave that away for free. I never saw valve force them to make it free on steam. What you'll find is a lot of steam's policies only apply to smaller indie devs, not big companies.
You can? We couldn't even get one to add even if we wanted to.
This is wizards of the cost all over again. Unity learned nothing from them.
So if General motors was using slave labour to build their cars and feeding said labour with baby kittens, would you consider it a review bomb for someone to say 'You shouldn't buy the latest vehicle from General motors because of the way it is made'?
What if general motors came out and said that they think a great start to the day is to wake up and punch a dutchman in the face?
A review is, ultimately, a recommendation of whether or not you think other people should buy this product. If you can't recommend it because of something the company who made it did, to me, it's still a review. Because recommending that product is recommending financial support of that company. Not recommending it, is not supporting them.
For me a real review bomb would occur generally only in a case where a site like 4chan might suddenly spin a wheel of mayhem and pick a random game to just go shit on or something like that.
The only reason I could see them region locking is because they must sell them cheaper in one region vs another. But it's unlikely that they'd sell them cheap enough that people couple buy them, then ship them for any significant savings (or any savings) at all over their locally available ones.
