    There’s no way Steam is 100% in charge of what regions a game is available in. The publisher absolutely has a say in where, and if it was available in all regions at the start that was on purpose.

      Steam just limited the purchase to right markets today, so yes they are.

        The company that published the game likely updated the region it can be sold in. Steam just offers a platform.

        Steam/valve is literally not to blame at all for any of this. Do you work for epic games or something?

        I’m all for putting the blame where it needs to be, but you’re just shooting at all parties involved indiscriminately. Like blaming a rental company for a death in a traffic accident because they own the car.

          That’s a good one. Mind if I steal it for future usage?

            Go ahead lol. It was the only thing that came to mind as to why you’d want to try and put blame on valve over this whole fiasco.

          It is also wholly possible that Steam changed the availability themselves, so you can’t take all the blame away from them, but like I said originally, this is Sony’s fault first and foremost as the publisher would have first say on regional availability.
