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.

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.

He bought NATO into it to show that he does not consider his country an ally with Russia and Australia is NOT a part of NATO.

NATO never won a land war against USSR, neither did Germany, just saying.

Either give our Baltic brothers RU prices too or EU servers.

[Ganger]

May I just ask, does lithuania gamers pay the same prices as they do in the EU on steam ? if so then you should lobby your goverment to increase the minumum wage to at least 9 euro per hour, like it is in western europe.

[Starwhite]

Wasn't that the whole point of OP that the prices are EU but servers RU? If that is wrong, then they are asking for both EU servers and prices.

They have that prices, because they are poor while being "your brothers in EU in NATO". He is complaining because he is stupid. Well, as we can see they like when someone treats them as monkeys, that is why they hate russians and tried to ran to you, europeans.

And you wondered why you were banned from discussion boards?

to make Poetin happy? ;) ;)

Yeah, if you get Russia/CIS/former Soviet union region games I would had thought you'd at-least got their prices too.

I don't know which region is Euro2 but why pay Euro1 prices but get Russian copy when the Russians pay so much less which I guess is the whole point of the region stuff.

Is it the developers who decide? Either because random company just think this or that make more sense or (conspiracy theory) Russian developers who think this make sense and want it this way? =P
Is it decided per game or by Valve per region? I guess if you got Russian prices it would be more ok? I'd be ok with Russian prices =P

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.

Best comment ever

'specially since the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth used to be a superpower in its own right.

How has this not been locked already? It's devolved into little more than a discussion of politics.

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

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.

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.

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.

i'm not trolling, that's just an excuse for someone who loses an argument
