    @MattGambell @Steam I don't know, I really genuinely believe that they want to solve this is a problem so stuff can be community-managed. Problem is, it's not really a technology issue, it's a ****** anonymous humans on the internet issue. Whatever they're trying to do isn't close to working.

    @Steam Would you care to explain why locking region settings is a good idea? I regularly have to help my parents, who are in their 70's and sign in to their account on their behalf. They are UK based and I am in Finland. 3 months to change region? They want to spend money now!

    @Steam how can you say you give correct support if you just close the ticket instead of helping? Like Your customers need help. FAQ says contact support and you go closing the ticket without even providing any assistance. Nice service you offer! really nice!
