Valve enables region locking in Steam, to stop you buying cheap games from Russia
2014-12-17 19:13:05| Extremetech
Steam, one of the sole bastions of sanity when it comes to digital games distribution, has enabled region locking on games. This means if you buy a game in one territory, you can no longer use it in another territory -- much like DVD region locking (but more effective, as Steam's region locking hasn't been cracked). While this might look like oppressive behavior by Valve, there's actually a very good reason behind the locks: Unstable currencies, like the Russian ruble, caused by the crashing price of crude oil. Or maybe Valve (and publishers) are just sick of people buying games cheaply in other territories, then redeeming them in their (more expensive) home countries.
COMMENT: The decline of the buying office
2014-12-16 18:05:00| Daily apparel & textile news and comment - from just-style.com
Twenty years ago major garment importers and retailers began to move away from independent agents to set up wholly-owned buying offices where every middleman performed the same work. Fast forward to 2014, and the range of services has soared in both number and complexity. The challenge, now, is to quantify the level of performance - and commission, writes David Birnbaum.
