Hey all, I'm an Australian thats stuck in the past or at least my government is, I was wodnering if any fine folk from America would be willing to gift me Hotline Miami 2? I feel dirty pirating, and I'll be damned if my government is going to stop me from owning a copy. So anyone willing to help out an aussie with the steam key/gift?

I dont know whether it would impact your feelings or not, but I recall the developer response to being banned in Aus, was to advise Aussies to straight up pirate it.

The developer said that. Not me. Not breaking the TOS, escapist mods.

Well according to that other thread gifting is now region locked. However if you check the Steam community hub for the game it is possible to purchase it. Check the bottom post here [http://steamcommunity.com/app/274170/discussions/0/617329505855589288/]

As far as I can tell it just involves adding it to your cart via the US Steam store (on your web browser, not the Steam client), then when you log into Steam (still on your browser) it will still be in your cart and you can buy it.

It seems they haven't blocked anyone from buying it, they've just blocked Australians from being able to view the game's page.

Yeah, bit of a bummer about the Australian Classification Board being right pricks, eh?

I remember the Escapist did a news post on it:
