  • In this Chapter you dont have to copy any Links, so you also don't need to remember any.

1. Enter the Community Homepage.
2. Search for DEEP SPACE WAIFU via Hubs.

4. On the right side hit Find More Like This.













5. On the next Page, when hovering your Cursor above the Cover you can add the Game to your Wishlist using the Dropdown Menu in the upper right Corner.








6. Now you can add the Game to your Basket using your Wishlist.

5. Ask a person of trust (Worth mentioning)
  • Users outside the area which a wanted item is Region-Locked in can gift users within the Region-Locked areas the wanted item + any item their local store allows to purchase.
Removed Link & not working. (Info)
  • If Steam is preventing Links from showing up again.
Steam DB[steamdb.info] leads to steamdb.info


  • This isn't working with certain games anymore, due to the filters of these have been revamped apparently – tho not all games are affected by it.

@D3XX3R Yes, as of Mar 17th

So the only way to get region locked games is to get it gifted from a friend that's in another region?
Does this also work with the age locked games for Germany?

@Aardworm regarding 1 to 4, unfortunately yah.
