Thanks for the reply. Can I just confirm what would happen in the following situation?

Say a game is purchased from here and activates on Steam perfectly fine in Japan, but remains unplayable because it was never "released" on Steam's end in the region, would a refund be possible?

This situation has happened several times in the past with games on Steam, the last time it happened to me it was even with a game purchased directly through Steam. It took several months to finally get someone at Steam to even acknowledge there was problem. Japan is just one of those "special" regions that often gets treated badly by Steam, so some assurance that assistance is available would help.

I truly hope that RE7 is 100% fine to purchase and play though, so this question is more a what if for another game down the line.

Thanks
