Rockstar doesn't care about non-westners

I tried getting GTA V collector edition, but it seems like 2k and Rockstar won't serve their products to us lesser non-westerners.

Even though I had a P.O. box in America and the appropriate payment method. But both Gamestop and Rockstar warehouse have a strict policy on sales outside of Europe or the U.S. icon13.gifsuicidal.gif

 

We live in a global world now. Get it. devil.gif

Because you're in the minority. Delivering games to some obscure country isn't profitable for them.

Yea it's just a business decision, nothing personal.

If you have a PS3 you can import the CE and SE, just be careful with DLC because it might not work with imported games (can be solved by making a account from the country you imported from)

Dude parts of the middle east are drowining in oil (like kuwait wink.gif ) and all we do in this dry (no booze) hot desert? we stay indoors in our air conditioned mansions playing video games.

 

Everyone games in Kuwait! You get ps3's in all the coffee shops and "hookah" places.

And this happens in all the Gulf region countries. ph34r.gif women!!!

 

Not to mention the growing middle class in Asia.

 

It's apathy and snobbery, as if we won't "get" their games.

Does anyone care about Non-Westeners?

It's like I'm at the Republican National Convention for Christ sake, this thread is filled to the brim with bigots, xenophobes and overall nescient people. Kuwait and a lot of other Middle-Eastern countries are very important to the Western World, or did you think oil and gas magically fell out of the sky?

Kuwait. Flags are pretty, right.

Why should they? Don't you see the piracy level here between arabs? At least in Jordan every console is modified, when you go to a shop and ask for XBOX games and whatnot he automatically pulls the fake ones.

 

The game prices are also ridiculous, at my local shops GTA IV still costs around 50 euros, and the average salary here is 250 euros.

Why the actual sh*t should T2 or R* or any company for that matter encourage most of the arabian countries? Perhaps apart from Dubai.

isn't that even more of a reason to be profitable?????

 

to charge more for delivery. the customer will pay if they want it.

 

i send stuff around the world, and carriage is sometimes double or triple then what it is in the west. customer will always pay if they want it. R* just need the system in place to do it.

 

i'm sure theres a company willing to ship to you OP. just gotta find it. or maybe contact a distributor direct [uSA/UK]. do a proforma and bank transfer. they'll do it.

I'd be careful about this man. Some pirates might see you with this collectors edition, think your a westerner and hold you for ransom.

We don't get Netflix here, our cinema's are boring and censored by our nanny states, our credits cards are refused in western online stores....

 

So we are gonna steal the sh*t, because it's ethically sound.

 

BTW no one modifies their consoles any more since the 360's Live auto-banning.

 

Love you all. But help us help you... we got lots of money and we don't know what to do with it.

The Middle East is a booming market, I love doing business down there. Unfortunately not every business in the west has realized this yet and some fail to look past the goverment 'issues'. Anyway if you can't buy it online, I'd look into having someone in a country that does sell it, buy it for you and ship it to you. It is somewhat more expensive, but well worth it in the end.

LOL! NO one modifies his consoles? Damn... Come here and check they keep modifying them, where do you live bruh? Arabs love to steal this sh*t as much as they can, "jamarek" are ridiculous here in Jordan. They put tax for anything that's entering this country, else where does the government get money from?

 

in 2006 I moved from Romania to Jordan, we came with a Mercedes which was 4 years old. It cost us 9000 euro in Romania, we came here, and they told us we need to "take it to the customs and pay the tax to register the car", got any idea how much? 15.000 euros, well f*ck you too, we sold the car.

 

No wonder why no one from the west cares about this sh*t. No live services no nothing, this is ridiculous.

Dude Jordan is a poor country essentially...

 

The government dealings are shady...they barely have water, the country lives on give aways from richer nations with an agenda.

 

We live in the GULF region...we are different...

 

See the world is made out of lots and lots of pretty countries with niiice people and each country is different...some rich, some poor, some crazy some righteous.

Yeah, it is a poor country, but you wanted a reason why the west doesn't give a sh*t about Middle East, there is one! icon14.gif

 

Also, just so you know, Eastern European countries such as Romania and Bulgaria also get the same treatment, there's no PSN+ or Xbox LIVE there, a lot of sh*t doesn't work there. Mainly due to the same reasons.

So, just because the CE isn't available in your "non-western" country that means R* doesn't care about all non-westerners? Ridiculous claim and completely baseless, too. Get over it. If they really didn't care about you they wouldn't even sell you the damn game.

All they care about money.

 

What you're expecting from a developer who releases the game on consoles only?

if western stores refuse credit cards... and bank transfers don't work....then piracy is the only other route....

 

and if you are filthy rich... why not go on holiday to a country with GTA collectors.... buy it. and take it back home?
