They revoked VEGAS license, it is requested via MAGIX as 3rd party when you launch the program. They have an independent way to control it.

if a 400 euro monitor is sold for 10 euros on amazon and i buy it, i can't really expect to really get and keep it. i either know it's a price error or a scam.


Dunno about burgerland but even in my 3rd world shithole we have consumer protection laws in place. In a physical store, if something prices 1000$ has a price error and price tag says 10.00$ o na shelf then seller is obliged to sell it by that price. He can fix the error later.

Problem with digital is that the shop can say "oh, you know what, due to demand we are out of the units and we dont know when we get more so we refund you automatically". And then they just take a pause fo a week or few and put the same party as if it was new fresh and that's about it, nobody can argue here with this scam.


This is hiw i got my logitech g502 lightspeed for about 45 Euro Very Happy shitty mouse though and aint worth much more.

is my stay with Uncle Diego over?

I bought and tried to redeem a wallet code as I usually do, but was denied.

Is the key now useless until I pack my bags for more expensive shores?

Even on Kinguin it says now, that code can only be used on accounts with the same currency.

I wonder, how to people in Argentina actually add funds or buy games?

When you click on add funds, it still says that currently local payment methods are unavailable?

Or do they have to buy steam gift cards in a BnM shop?

If so, shouldn't it be possible to find the codes of those, no?

Activated a global gift card yesterday. Interesting. Maybe it's some old pool.

Just buy a 1$ global and you'll see.

So, gifting account to account works? Guess I have to make a new dummy account Smile

Edit: Made a new account, named "SinsSteam"... it got through, but inside steam, somehow, Steam is filtered and so now my account says "Sins*****" rofl.

So, how does one gift funds?

kinguin, for example

edit: ah found the digital gift card in steam, neat. So 3 days to wait and I should be good to go, right?

Btw, if this method really still works, then this is clearly not meant to prevent people such as us to buy games in arg store, but to prevent 3rd party sites to sell steam wallet cards. Maybe some changes in money laundry or prevention of credit card fraud etc.

Glad I refunded Necromunda...

also refunded Disco Elysium, which I bought a few days ago. Haven't even played it yet, lol.

So I have over 2k ARS$ right now in reserve, so I am fine for a couple weeks lol.

Oh I am sure, but I can a) also just yarr it and b) I can always buy it later, when I know I can transfer funds w/o issue Smile

For now, I'll keep my funds for games that I cannot play "offline" Smile
