A worrying message has appeared on the Steam news feed regarding World of Goo’s availability for European customers.

Pretty much if you are a European Steam user then you won’t be able to purchase World of Goo until February/March next year, this is the same time as the planned European retail release. If you have already bought your copy of the game then you are not affected by this.

I have gotten in touch with Kyle from 2D Boy (buy it there European readers!) for more details.This is what he had to say:

As part of our European agreement, we are restricted from selling the game on Steam in Europe. I’m thinking this was a clause that was accidentally left in, since I can’t imagine this kind of restriction is good for anyone. We’re going to try to reverse it. We live in the future. We shouldn’t even have countries and regions. Just one big Internet where everyone is equal.
