Why Lithuania belong to Russia region ?

[76561198283926738]

Hi i am from Lithuania and i know most of you don't give a damn about this random country or just dont know that it exists , but nevertheless i do not understand why some game developers or steam decide that Lithuania belongs to Russia region for example "Dishonored" is Dishonored[RU]" or Borderlands 2 region locked my country to Russia and so on.

1. Lithuania is in NATO means we are allies with USA not RUSSIA
2. Lithuania is in Euro Union which means we are even further away from Russia grasp.
3. Lithuania has to pay FULL "1st world" price for games. Thats 60 euros per title ($70 for you USA boys) so WTF ?

so explain me why in 2016 we still considered communist country ?

idk maybe Estonia or Latvia is in same boat as Lithuania but i talk from my perspective and it sucks.

P.S i have tons of friends from Europe and US but i have 0 friends from Russia.

Yeah, well that stuff does not celebrate SS or nazis or germany. In fact it does not celebrate anything at all. There is no parade. There is a silent walk to a graveyard. And why do you consider them nazis? They did not fight because of some missguided ideology or in the name of germany, they fought because their country was held by savage occupant force.

There where only 2 forces in europe that had goals in the war - germany and ussr, rest was caught in the middle.

uh, they kind of were in the SS, that was the point of the legion's creation.

anyways, this is getting off topic, we ought to stay on topic now

Well obviously you know best about this and about everything else in the universe. Lets just agree to disagree.

But yes, back to topic. I hate people who argue about history on the internet, and I dont want to become such a man.

If you want to know why a country is in a particular region on Steam, the answer is almost always economic.

Because your country is in that part of the world with low monthly wages, so your priced in the russian reigon.

Bringing nato into it is a bit silly, Australia is part of nato but they pay twice as much as the USA do on steam. Your country was part of russia (ussr) once and no doubt will be again in the future. All countries that surround russia need to be good neighbours to russia because at some point, these countries will need russia and its natural resources.

Day to day I get reinforced in my impression that people just stop reading posts as soon as they think they have something to say. Lithuania adopted the Euro 2015, so it's not even a matter of conversion rates.

And I was sarcastic, because I find it funny that you think you know my history better than me.

Thats the whole OPs thing, they are NOT priced in russian region, they have to pay EU price, but they still are locked into Rus zone.

All countries in eu need russian gas. Our country was also once not part of russia and actually ruled over russian territories so maybe that will happen again?
While we on the topic. USA used to be a colony for several EU countries. You gonna tell us it's going to happen again? Please don't spread such obvious BS around.

Strange, got a few Latvian friends and they claim opposite.
It seems like Latvian goverment is more in favour of nazi then commies. Heck, from what I've been told, you have an anual nazi parade in Latvia. Skinheads are also more of the nazi thing too.

Thats just some russian propaganda. Latvia is a strange place, all latvians are like 33% german and 33% russian, all russians are actually polish or ukrainian, and all germans ran away to germany before ww2. There are no nazi parties. in fact all things nazi are banned here. The bigest party is pro russian since all russians vote for that party just because it is russian party and latvian votes are split between sevral other major parties.

We hated germans before it was "cool" to put them as enemys in every videogame since they where the nobility in the region trough middle ages and often treated the peasants very bad. For latvians there is a = sing between nazis and comunists.

Literately everything about latvians being or likeing nazis is BS. There are no nazi parades, I wonder where you are from and why would you even think any of that?

I'm currently live in UK and work with several Latvians. They told me about this. And another guy also was nice enough to actually give a link to exact wiki.

i know your history better than you because i actually know why the latvian legion was created, and your only argument is to be sarcastic

Bring it up with the EU authorities. For all its failings, the EU does take the consumer protection and consumer rights seriously.

Your only argument is "I just know best", it is not like there is anything constructive in that. And I find it hard to believe you ever truly learn anything, since clearly talking is more important to you than listening.

And just leave me alone, there is no upside to this conversation, why would you even want to continue it? I am not and newer was interested in talking about history. You are just trolling me.

The only point I was trying to get over to you, after you posted that you had heard that majority of latvians and the government are pro-nazis, is that IMHO Latvians are not any of those thing. You can chose what to belie I was just throwing in there my 2 cents.

EDIT:
I just thoght that maybe I was not clear enough for you and just to make it cristal clear, I am not interested in continuing any kind of discusion with the 2 of you, so dont replie. also a mod probably should have closed this one down like a page ago.

Pfft.

By the time "the banks" are finished with all of us, you will see the reality of "your rights".

Consumer rights are rather good in EU.

Next time Baltic countries should ally with the Nordic ones instead of anyone else. You just need to tell us that our booze warehouses are under foreign threat! :D

Lithuania belongs to Russia. Without russian supervision you baltic states turn into ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fascist countries with SS marching the streets. Before the Soviet Union took you in you were fascist, and after you left the Soviet Union you have become fascist again. Look at Lithuania. You were once a part of the greatest super power on earth. Now you are even crappier than Poland. I rest my case.

Yeah. German fascist faught in 1939-1945 to make germans the dominatting nation with all the rights, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid lithuanians inckuded. Many lithuanians did the same (yes, fought for the right of germans to boss them around and send them to dirty work) and they continue to do it now. They even partially successfull, many of them are servants in the west countries, who leaved lithuania willingly.

And soviets were just as bad as germans. USA and Allies would had a far better choice then USSR. Sadly when USSR and Germany made a deal with Stalin shaking hands with Hitler to splite Poland. USSR has aquired Vilnius which they offered to return to Lithuania which was one of the reasons they joined this silly comunistic union that colapsed so easily.
