steam games are now region locked so games bought from asia, euro and the US can not be played in aust any longer. i just got fully screwed over cause i bought my copy of half life 2 off ebay that came from thailand and now i cant play counter strike source this really pisses me off cause its a legit copy with legit cd key. has anyone got the same problem?

Wow, I haven't heard of that one. Must be the new version of the Steam software that is trying to region lock your game. There may be a way around it. A google search could help you.

This is why I buy my games off Steam directly lol. Tough break, dude. Valve's really cracking down on us gamers who want products a few weeks earlier than release.

I purchased the Half-Life 2 GOTY Edition from ebay australia. Came with Half-Life 2, Counterstrike Source, Half-Life Source, Half-Life Deathmatch 2 and Half-Life Deathmatch Source. Well worth it!
