Philippines Region Lock on STEAM

Hi guys. I sent an email as well to support since I had read from one of the admins of the PoE-STEAM server to send an email if I should ever have a concern... but I'd just want to post a thread here so I can hopefully get help from other people as well.

I've migrated my Garena-SEA account to STEAM, but the Philippines is currently locked on the region. Will there be any chance that it'll be unlocked? I hope it does, though.

Thanks in advance, everyone.

Hiya,

I'm afraid Path of Exile is not available in certain regions on Steam, including South East Asia, and parts of Eastern Europe and Russia. We are working towards making Path of Exile available in more regions on Steam in the future, I apologise for the inconvenience.
me too, hoping that the STEAM Path of Exile will be unlocked/unblocked in some regions (please include Philippines)

i always have second thoughts on whether linking my PoE account and steam account because even though i have steam wallet code, i still can't access and/or purchase from PoE shop knowing of the region block.
yes please! open Path of Exile in STEAM for southeast asia! we want to buy MTX's, but have a hard time availing now because of limitations in Payment options
Add nyu ako :D
Sad.

Can you guys (devs) give us like even a vague reason as to why the game is unavailable in the Philippines? You did put Singapore as a server (which we are all thankful for, btw). so is the game still not available here? Is Singapore the only SEA country that's not restricted from Steam? It's kinda confusing to see the restriction when there's a SEA server already implemented. Devs?

GGG has said in the past that they don't have any control over this. It is up to Steam. Not something that is in their hands unfortunately.
U MAD?
you know ggg path of exile shud just give the option to buy credits via CHERRY CREDITS or MOL points or direct LOAD CENTRAL, coz honestly most citizens dat plays dis games majority are students dat dont have credit cards or paypals, i maybe wrong. so we people in sea mostly cud buy poe. just saying. those companies ggg trusted are also keeping most people from playing poe, its like they made a very very complex downloads requireing 2-3 yrs online gaming fk. when we cud just click path of exile gg download and shet install, play, done, enjoy. again just saying.
