'using Hola VPN set to Brazil'
The only things I trust Brazilians with are genital waxing and nuts.
Those two things are not connected, I put the nuts in my mouth.
I'm just making this worse. I shall stop typing.

I tried to get it back when it was around 22 quid, if you try the vpn method it won't work because of the paypal account being linked to a UK address, there is a workaround around this somewhere on reddit where you basically create a brand new paypal (Argentina based) and then use entropay to verify it for the initial payment, then you can transfer money between uk and Argentinian paypal there is some fees involved, but it would still probably work out cheaper than buying games here, here's the comment from reddit on how to do it if anyone is interested:
1) Created Argentenian PP account (google a Argentinian address)
2) Create an Entropay Account
3) Top-up the virtual credit card (use your real creditcard/bank account address here)
4) Add/Link that credit card to your Argentenian PP account
5) Paypal will ask you to verify it by sending a pre-auth charge with a 4-pin code
6) Wait 2days+ and then check your entropay balance statement
7) Get the 4digit pin code and enter it on paypal :sunglasses: Turn on your VPN to any south america country
9) Use it to pay it in nuuvem

Heat from me!
Slightly off-topic, I'm interested in buying The Division Gold Edition (£28) from Nuuvem. Has anyone had any experiences with purchasing uPlay codes from them? I know Ubisoft are funny around region restrictions so thought it best to ask.

It depends on the game, some are region locked and some aren't. I bought both Metal Gear Rising and Lords of The Fallen and they activated fine.

This was $29.99 the other day - I bought it and it worked out at £5.54 with Paypal's conversion rates. Now it's $35.99, which works out at £6.64 at that same rate, or £5.98 after 10% off. So you might have to amend the deal price.
Some keys are region locked, some aren't. These keys aren't region locked, but the website that sells them is, so you're using a VPN to bypass the website's location check to buy region free keys. They activate just fine on Steam without a VPN. If you ever do buy a region locked key, don't use a VPN to activate it on Steam, or if you do, you do it at your own risk - Valve could remove it sooner or later and maybe even lock your account. Nuuvem does sell some region locked games but you won't be able to buy them with a UK Paypal account (and it does usually state on the game page when it's region restricted).
Just try to buy them. In my experience, if you try to buy from Nuuvem with a VPN set to Brazil, it will let you buy some games but not others. The ones it doesn't let you buy seem to be subject to further checks - like checking your Paypal account for your address and your Brazilian national ID, which you won't have. Every game it has let me buy has given me a region free key - so if you can buy it, you can activate it.
Impressive, I've almost given up on the hoop jumping :disappointed:
