A game without Region lock will not activate because of region lock. HELP!!

[KoalaPear]

I don't understand why this is happening. There are no red text! Does anyone know how to fix this?

It is space engineers. When i try to add it to my library it says the game is "restricted from my country"

I am australian btw. The game was bought from some guy from Norway but there is nothing on the game's descritpion on Region restrictions

If you don't understand why how do you know it is because of region lock?

Or do you mean medieval engineers? Can't find space engineers in your inventory.

Also your profiles had this comment:

Trustworthy trader, he opened a 4-Pack of Space Engineers without collateral and returned 3 copies. +Rep!

(comment was kinda old though)

Now tell us the whole story.

Space engineers was like a year or two ago.

Go whine to the guy from Norway that 'sold' you a region locked copy

And yeah you're screwed. that website wont give you your money back.

aaaaaah.

lesson learned, this is why they censor the name of that website here.
Ask for your money back!
Don't use that site again, warn your friends.

so you got a cd key, a steam gift would have mentioned the regionlock in the gift description.

you wanted it cheap, you get it cheap.

Well, that's what you get from buying in a site where most games are sold by Russians and other shady dealers.

Never, ever trust sites like that, and yet, people still ignore other people's advice to buy licensed copies, instead opting in cheap, unstable bad copies.

Still wonder why professional players, streamers and other people keep posting referrals of that site and why others call it it's not a scam, or alternatively it's just bad buisness model.

Seems weird with people loving to gamble.

because money from "criminal" organizations is still money for themselves.

TeamSoloMid was also sponsored by 2 of those shady marketplaces in the past and they "canceled" the sponsoring contracts also because they actually received noticable negative feedback from their fans.
