Now just to hope that they also implement regional pricing for India like Russia.

Once regional pricing is implemented, we are done with retail gaming discs unless a very good discount.

Aren't we already? Who is buying retails today, except very good retail deals on release like wild hunt or mgs5.

Yes, but for example take Far Cry 4. Wasn't the retail version much cheaper in pricing compared to steam pricing?

Yeah as I said, only very few. Mostly its still digital
I mean e.g StarCraft 2 battlechest still retails in India for ₹4k. I got it for ₹1 k on blizzard ROFL paying euros!

Got my copy of MGS5 from Amazon India today. When I started the installation from the disc, Steam automatically started in the background and logged into my brother's account on my PC (He stays in the US and I occasionally play some games from his library). I did not notice this and entered the CD key when prompted. Now the game is linked to his Steam account and I can't play it as Steam says it's not available in my region. Mailed Steam support to see if they can transfer it to my account. fml.

Bad luck. It's a slim chance they can transfer keys like that.Got my copy of MGS5 from Amazon India today.

Still have fingers crossed.
On the positive side of things though: your bro can play it
And if you are really interested in playing his games, why not just ask him to do a family share instead of you logging into his account? That way you get to play all his games from your own account.

Would be useless without regional pricing. ( look at origin)Indian Rupee coming to steam on Nov 3rd 2015

Origin has regional prices on older titles and new Ubisoft titles eg: Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Origin stopped regional pricing in India becoz India is a english speaking region and they don't implement regional restrictions like steam

Regional pricing or not you don't have currency conversion charges at least...

You will get real cheap games like rus that would be region locked to IN.
But if you travel to another country for a long term stay, I dunno the repercussions.

I doubt there are too many of us who will actually be able to stay out of country long.
