Steam version region lock

Is there any particular reason why region lock still exists for ID VN PH for the Steam version?

I understand this was necessary because Garena had bought the right to publish on that region. But now since PoE Garena is dead and merged to the Global. What's the reason for the region lock for Steam version of Path of Exile?

This isn't the case with Epic Game Store PoE, they don't have region block for those countries for this game since the PoE Garena already died by the time PoE added to EGS. Did GGG staff forgot to flip the switch on Steamworks page perhaps?


I'd like the ability to use my money in Steam Wallet to purchase stuffs in PoE

I can go ahead and pass your feedback on this to our development team, but I'm afraid we don't have any kind of ETA on any news for the region restrictions regarding Path of Exile on Steam unfortunately.

Sorry we can't be of more help with that but if you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or contact us at support@grindinggear.com! :)
I'm from Vietnam and as far as I know garena vietnam does not provide poe services. So why do we get same region restriction treatment?
