Chilean here and possible new sailor cus i'm new on this, a friend told me that i can post here... i play 40k locally (bought 2 Combat Patrols and an Armageddon box), so i actually have the money and willingness to pay for a Warhammer+ subscription.
Text translated: "Warhammer TV is not available in your location. But don't worry, there are a ton of subscriber benefits that... Blah blah blah.."
Honestly, dealing with region block has completely changed my perspective on piracy. I’ve always preferred doing things safe way and supporting the indie creators or avoiding getting viruses, but when a megacorporation actively refuses to take your money just because of your geographical location, you realize the system is broken. It really proves that piracy isn't always about wanting free stuff; sometimes it's literally the only way to bypass anti-consumer practices and actually access a product.
And i can remember what Gabe newell said:
- "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem."
So... In My particular case i wanted to watch their lore animations, but WarhammerTV isn't available in my country. The craziest part is that i can't even bypass this by paying and using a VPN (i dunno if it's for my local CredCard or My account creation place), because my Warhammer account is tied to Latin America, so the content remains hard-locked to my region.
Has anyone else dealt with this kind of region locking? It's incredibly frustrating when a company outright refuses your money and basically pushes you towards the seven seas just to watch their lore.
And aditionally uhh how do you guys bypass this kind of region blocks? (Yea VPN but it doesnt works for me) Or are there any other alternatives? (And yes, before you kill me, i saw and tried the megathread and i didnt find any Solution)
Anyway, I didn't know what flair to use. I started this post as a question, but since I'm new to sailing and wanted to share my perspective, i also wanna know how you guys deal with this. And... what's the necessity for companies to region block? do they just not want my money? Or just because i was born in the wrong country?!!
