Sonic x Shadow generations not available in Ukraine, Turkey and Latin America

[Yukine]

Okay, SEGA, why on Earth would you remove the option for us to pre-order? Or at least look on the page? It is literally deleted from the store in my region and I can’t access it, you don’t wanna our money? Cause some part of us would have 100% buy the pre-order option, for example me. And we will basically miss the pre-order benefits if you add it to our regions after the release. Please return it to Steam regions mentioned above

Russia too

I also do not understand why it is not available in Ukraine

Yeah exactly, like why on Earth make it unavailable here
Pls spread it between your pals, so we could probably make sega unlock them?? (very unlikely tho)

Most likely, Sega's greedy management decided that they would not receive enough income from selling their "unique remaster" in these regions, you know - reduced regional prices (which have not been there for quite some time) In other words, another incomprehensible degenerate decision by old guys in business suits, classic.

Some regions of Latin America*

You can pre-order it fine over here (Panamá), although, weird that SEGA is now blocking countries that never had any issues with before.

Though, I believe Argentina was because a few years ago people were abusing the regional pricing, but recently Colombia also got hit with the ban hammer, for reasons that I don't know.

Yep, I kinda understand that reasoning, but why not set the price higher then?.. Like there is official currency rate (in my case hryvnia), and they could just transform the price into UAH by the official rate and recieve the same amount of money as elsewhere... but yeah very "clever" management couldnt probably think of it

In Russia, they blocked access to buying games from SEGA at all. The question here is quite different.

Ukrainian people (at least as I heard) can buy their games, but for unknown reasons they removed the possibility for them to pre-order this game. I heard the same story about the Turkish region.

And it turns out to be a strange paradox: a company that wants to make money from us just takes away this opportunity. If you want to play the game, be kind enough to buy it as a gift on third-party markets (or an activation key, because in Turkey, as I heard, you can't send gifts).

Because there's war conflict going on between Russia and Ukraine.

Special region pricing is the reason. My region since the last year is Ukraine, and I knew all along that the game won't be available for pre-order in this region, as it was a common practice for SEGA last year, e.g. Superstars and Yakuza games. But at my surprise they also blocked the whole page for the game. It's ridiculous imo.

I bought a key from reseller tho and it worked, even if it said that it won't work for my region. So, if you want to pre-order that bad - buying from a second-party seller is an option.

What reseller? Bought one and it didn't activate, had to refund 😟

Mexico can pre order without issue

Did you check if it was available for RoW or any other region that wouldn't exclude your region? 'Cause I bought one for Europe and it worked for Ukraine, tho it's still not available directly in Steam store.

Gamesplanet says their keys are working for Turkey. Has anyone tried them in a country where the game is not sold? I'm thinking of buying it from there, it's even $6 cheaper than Steam.

An Argentinian friend of mine got his copy from that site, and was able to active it without any trouble. So....maybe?.

Most of their keys are RoW,I believe, since I got my copy of Captain Tsubasa from there too.

Yeah, my friends from Mexico told me they can without trouble.

But those from Colombia and Argentina couldn't.
