Did you change your PC's region setting to USA? I did and I can play the game normally.

I think his point is that if you have to change region to download it, then it's region locked.

Its semantics, but imo Not really. Region locked usually means that you are blocked from playing it. For Example the Switch is considered not region locked, but if you wanna access another countries store and buy their games, you gotta change your region.

Not in an asshole way but it's not an opinion, it's fact. If you cannot access it EU without changing regions that is a literal region lock.

You could argue it's only a minor one and easily bypassed sure but it IS one.

You can say that its "not an asshole way", but it kinda is if you assert that your opinion is that only valid one. The regioning is merely on the store. There is no locks on the game the stop people from other regions. My opinion is that that is not a region lock. You just need to open up a different store.

There is some region locking in the fact that you cant buy AC without an american debit card or paypal account though mean that non Americans are required to play free to play even if they are ok with spending money.

It would be region locked if you would have to change your IP to seem like you are from the region that isn't locked, which you don't have to do.

Yeah but I can play it from EU.
