The Crew- Any info on Region Lock/ Cheap keys?

[ksheets]

Hey everyone

I've got an itch for a racing game that I think maybe The Crew will scratch. I noticed that Cddiski.ru has the Russian version of the key available for $30. I've ordered a couple copies of titanfall off this site, so I'm not really worried about getting ripped off, but has anyone heard whether the game is region locked. I'd really rather not waste money on a game that I can't play with other friends that may pick it up eventually....

According to a quick google search, yes, it is region locked.

What is this?! A Ubisoft game that isn't completely f\/xxd at launch?

I think the Uplay only version may be region free. The RU version will probably just include RU voices and texts and would probably require you to download them elsewhere separately. The Steam RU version (which still requires you to use Uplay) is indeed region locked.

No cheap keys? No money at all from me until the price gets really low then.

Just as a followup for anyone who cares - I went ahead and purchased the Russian Uplay version and was able to activate it on my Uplay account with no need for a VPN or anything crazy like that.
I found the English language files (~2GB) and downloaded and replaced the Russian one and everything is up and running perfectly!

I've only done a few races but I'm liking it so far- I spent a lot of time playing the NFS games and this kinda has that same vibe to it.

Probably could have found an Nvidia "Pick Your Path" code on eBay for ~$30-$40, for anyone else looking for a good deal on this game.

I thought about the pick your path route but the cheapest on ebay was $40 and apparently you cant Buy/sell game codes on here so....i went with option 3.

I have to say, I am having fun in the game. Played for a few hours after work. It has a very NFS feel to it as far as car mechanics go.
The physics feel a little wonky, sometimes if you run over a wet paper bag youlle stop like you hit a brick wall , and other times you will deflect at a 45 degree angle and spin out uncontrollably. Newton would be somewhat disappointed...

At any rate Ill be getting my $25 out of it so...WINNING
