Already purchased games show "This item is currently unavailable in your region".

[Jacky]

As a result, purchased games cannot enter the store page because the carrier or developer locks the area later. Therefore, it is not possible to review and see the specific information of the game. The opening page just said "This item is currently unavailable in your region", but I already had the game and was denied the full service.

In my opinion, games that are locked in a region where the game is not visible, should still be fully available to those who have already purchased the game.

Can't you review it from the library in the Steam client either?

Posting a review is equal to making a POST-request to the store URL of the respective game. Since the URL is blocked in their region they cannot access them at all which blocks POST-requests as well

Ah I see, so you can't actually send them to the server, bummer. Thanks for the info

Well I guess you can use something like steamdb, if you log into it via Steam you can browse all your games like that, and if you then log out of Steam in the browser you can view all the store pages normally, it's a bit of a roundabout way but yeah

Is that more reasonable

1. Users who have not purchased the locked area cannot see the store page.

2. Consumers who have already purchased can see the store page and comment on it.

3. Consumers who have already purchased can no longer buy and give gifts.

If a game is not allowed in your region it cannot be shown in any way. Steam HAS to follow the law, simple as that.

This tip does not mean you are banned by the country you are in. It could be that you are banned by the publisher because of currency fluctuations. It is not as simple as you say. If it is banned by the state, it will be banned at the beginning, or it will be banned a few days after the launch, it will not be banned after several years of purchase.

The only time it won't show in the store is if it's banned for sale in your region. Also games can be banned years after purchase, look at Germany for instance with lots of games being removed due to changes in their law in the last year or two.

In my case some publishers suspended all games sales where I live a few months back, but the games themselves aren't actually banned in here. This is the error the store throws for me:

OOPS, SORRY!

An error was encountered while processing your request:
This item is currently unavailable in your region

I don't think that is true, there are some games that were removed from Steam by Valve or by the publisher, and are there for unable to be viewed anymore like lets say "Day One: Garry's Incident"
Its link is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/242800
But you are unable to see it and there are a few more games like that

I do think they may not want to show a store page the publisher asked to close, and I am pretty sure the publisher may not want to try to filter or clear reviews for a game they may not be selling anymore, even more, if said publisher left Steam

Over all, the library I think provides a nice amount of info, even though maybe it can add some more to help users remember what is what if needed

For example, Rocket League is initially available for purchase on Steam China. Rocket League on Steam has been suspended in China due to the publisher's partnership with Tencent to launch the game on Chinese game platform WeGame.

As an exsample for what?
Rocket leage also rdmoved from Steam as Epic Games buy them out no? or pay them to move

It was acquired by Epic long after it was taken off the market in China. I want to express that it is not the deletion that leads to the inability to visit the store, but the additional regional exclusive agreement in China that leads to the prohibition of sales in China.

Most of your thread is irrelevant. The simple fact is the store and its associated features like reviews are not something you paid for, and thus you are now "owed" them. Doesn't even matter the reason of why its unavailable. That decision was made and you get to live with it whether you like it or not, and you are not being harmed by that at all

I think buying a game on Steam is buying a service, not just owning the right to play the game. This is the digital age, not the disc age.

I paid for the game, there's no way I owe it to anyone.

There are games that you buy because you read the description on the store page, and then one day you're told, "You can't access it." The store page is not accessible, like when I bought the game with the manual, but the publisher unilaterally confiscated the manual for the game.

You can "think" all you want, you are still wrong. What you bought and the terms of that sale are already laid out in the SSA

The store page, reviews, and all other community features are not part of that transaction and can be withheld or removed for any reason they want

If that's Valve's wish, and I respect that, I'll spend less on Steam. Hopefully one day you'll be happy when the games in your library are banned from sale.
