Can you play EU Region locked games in the UK?

[Raz]

Looking at getting a Football Manager 2020 CD Key but it's EU Region Locked. Will I still be able to play it in the UK or does steam class the UK as a different region?

Thanks in advance

Step 1 - buy on steam
step 2 - there is no step 2

you're free to whine to the shady cd key shop you're trying to buy from when it doesnt work.

It's not useless, he correct about it.

There no way to confirm if there been any alteration as of recent, as there only one way to find out, but could assume they haven't done anything yet, then you would still be considered EU.

You want to guarantee that the game you're bying from a hobo behind the Tesco is giving you a 'real' game

How about you know maybe try not buying from the drunk hobo

Go into tesco and buy the game correctly

You're trying to solve the wrong problem

The correct problem to solve is "don't be super cheap".

I have no problem with people wanting to save money. I certainly do that.

But there are plenty of legitimate site that allow people to save money without needing to ask questions such as:

"wow i wonder if I'm gonna be scammed"
"I wonder if this game is actually what they say it is"
"I wonder if I need to ask the forums if this game will work"
"I wonder if this site will steal my money value I have stored in it because I've been idle"

The game was £13.59 on Steam between Aug 10 and Aug 17. It's been on sale 5 times since release with each sale being lower than the last. Add the game to your wishlist and wait for the email to let you know it's on sale again. Probably will be on sale again before the 2021 version comes out.

Yeah I got no problem with people trying to save some cash but if you're going out of your way to find num2letter sites... something's up.

It works perfectly fine. I know what sites work and what sites don't. That wasn't my question or problem.

There's no separate package for UK so it's safe to assume that the EU version, despite the Brexit, is intended for use in the UK. In fact, the Region lock for the EU version includes UK as a whitelisted country:

This is what we refer to as "solving the wrong problem"
