Please help me
So, I bought a key from cdkeys, on their site it says its worldwide and CAN be activated in my country. Sadly it didn't work since steam is telling me it isn't available in my country, considering the game itself is on my store and I can buy it from there, it made only sense that cdkyes themselves bought the game. Then my friend who lives in Europe too but in Germany asked me to try himself and if it worked he'd buy me another one, and for him the key did work for some reason. He bought me another one, I thought well maybe this ones it but no, the other key doesn't work neither. So two worldwide keys don't work because a game i'm trying to redeem isn't available in my country even tho I can buy it and not only that nowhere does it says its unavailable in any country. I never had issues like these so what might be the problem?

edit: i got my money back, cdkeys scammed me

Is the game available on the Steam store for you?

What is the name of the game in question?

Sounds like you got scammed. Not surprising from a website known for selling stolen goods and scamming their customers.

Instead of ROW you probably got one of those:

No, it does not work like that. What you are talking about is regional restrictions AFTER the key was redeemed.

Contact that shady grey market site & ask for a working product or your money back. If they don't comply, issue a chargeback.
