Legendary Edition region-locked on Steam?

I can only see the "MASS EFFECT™ LEGENDARY EDITION – ME3 OWNER OFFER" bundle on Steam. When I try to select just the "Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition" from the bundle, I get the following message:

An error was encountered while processing your request:

This item is currently unavailable in your region

I live in the Middle East, and would like to know if the game would eventually be sold here on Steam or if it's only available on Origin?

  • Because this is primarily a player to player help forum, with a few community moderators around for EA.  Since this is mostly players, we don't know the answer, and there is no telling if the community mods know either or if they saw this post in the first place.  Since it is on Steam, the mods would likely have to ask someone for details, and it may also depend on which country of the middle east the OP resides in, which wasn't listed.

    Contacting EAHelp.com and chatting with a help rep may get you the answer.

  • I have the same problem and I'm from the  Middle East region I contacted ea help they don't have a clue why it's like this I just contacted steam same thing no clue by the way the same problem occurs on origin and ea desktop app. 

  • I checked Steam DB site and I see that the game is not available in SA, UAE & Kuwait but here in Egypt the game still available for purchase on Steam.

    Could be a mistake, or a censorship not done right (though I'm not sure why would ME be censored in the Middle East)

    Either you will have to wait till someone notices this that can do something about it, or get a Steam copy of ME3 with it

    Still 2 more months till release.
