Gonchi: I'm actually moving countries soon, wonder if I need to contact them or something.

lukaszthegreat: no
I dunno. I can play all of my bought games, but I've lived here in Poland for two years now and cannot buy new ones. ?.?

SimonG: You need a polish bank account or other "local payment option" Steam is very anal about being in another country when buying games. Even within EU countries (no price difference) you cannot by if not "in the country". Probably tax reasons.

Well, an US IP will also do just fine.
I've got a Polish account. It won't let me buy from either my Polish one or my American one.

SimonG: We should just hold a second and realize that the community is giving the head of GOG marketing buying support on a competitors store.

These forums are truly a special place.
I needs me my XCom: Emeny Unknown. :P

Darling_Jimmy: Have you tried getting someone in the US (who you trust) to log in and make the purchase for you?
Yup. That works. Or I just have my wife gift me games from her account.

gameon: How do you manage with the language difference?
I find English is much the same here as it is in America. :P

gameon: Woah, thats interesting. I know that alot of countries use English as a second language, (alot of Germans spoke decent enough English when i was there). But i was thinking it'd be like going to Japan and using symbols and cheesy iphone gadgets so you could find a laundrette etc. lol, i forget we are living in a global world, and of course, GOG uses English as it's main language :)
That was actually a poorly-executed joke on my part; I get by with a mix of Polishand English and my naturally somewhat quiet life means I don't need much from others, so it all works out.

I'd say about a third of the Polish I meet outside work have transactional English, and about 10% have conversational.
