I do not want to hijack Vidboy10's Steam post too much, so I just make my own here.

Wish it were that easy for me. But I just got confirmation that if I were to buy CS:S, surrender animations would be built into the low-violence version my region is forced to swallow. Yes, that means that someone who just got an AWM bullet in his head will carefully move towards the ground, lie down an put their hands behind their back. I am not against reduced blood and gore, but this is so awful that I cannot help but rage against the German rating board and refuse to buy any crap that has been so awfully mutilated to get a better rating.
I am currently looking for a way to get a foreign version of the game, but it looks like unless I somehow find a trustworthy friend in a foreign country that can buy the game and send it to me via the steam gift system AND a way to pay him back via means I trust, I would have to buy a retail copy in a foreign country, which would either involve going there or unnecessary shipping fees, and I would very much prefer CS Complete as a bundle instead of the Source Multiplayer Pack.

I registered Left 4 Dead, L4D2 and the Orange Box using their services and I can confirm they are uncut![/quote]
I do not really trust things like that - the price difference is just too high to be realistic, and who knows what else they might be doing with that key. I would not buy any package that has been opened before, nor any key that has been seen outside the factory. If I were interested in taken monetary risks, I would already have had several solutions.
 
That's unfortunately funny. I mean, you hear the shot of the gun, and you see the guy lie down gently and cover up his headshot.

Like playing wargames with tranquilizer guns! *glee*
 
"I'm too tired to flail about screaming after being shot, so I think I'll just lie down."
 
Steam Support, when I asked if I could buy it during a stay in another country, responded with the standard non-answer that for German users, or rather their IP addresses (their wording, I consider this enough of a hint to accept the answer as a yes) the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (as Wikipedia translates it, the literal translation would be "Federal testing post for youth-endangering media", which sounds like some kind of "early indoctrination" agency in a totalitarian state to me) demands that they can only offer the version permitted by the department.
Personally, I even take that as an invitation to just go by proxy. After all, they have a payment system without location verification now.
