I am an English speaker and I live in Russia. I bought Assassin's Creed : Valhalla only to realize the game is locked with Russian language in Russian region store. I can not play it and still in the process (for three months now) to get a refund. Anyway, I tried every legal way possible to buy an English version copy of the game with proper price and I could not. Changing region does not help as one has to provide that region's valid credit card to buy the game. For this last point, if that is a requirement, I don't see how Ubisoft fears a massive cheating of people buying cheaper versions from certain regions to apparently defraud Ubisoft. They made purchase region locked already, why language lock too? That's dumb and counter-productive. I am sure many people are willing to pay for proper language version they need if it is possible at all. Ubisoft simply locked them out.
This needs to change.
