Легко!The procedure seems to be:
- Visit yuplay.ru
- Either use googletranslate or pick 'English' top right
- Buy the game for the equivalent of $14. (Use google translate cut/pasty on the billing screen, as the name/address fields are not guessable)
- Yuplay credit-card checks the purchase with a test amount. You need to check this small test amount either with your online bank or by phoning them and then enter it to verify it's you. I'm not sure what currency this works in, so a potential stumbling block - they 'lock' the purchase if you get it wrong. Typically the amounts are $1.60, $1.40 etc.
- Yuplay email you a Steam activation code.
- In a Steam account (perhaps a new one, as you might get banned?) you enter the code and it appears it still downloads anywhere.
- The Steam app ID is for the Russian version, and all patches will be in Russian - if this continues to work.
Anyway, wanted to put that out there. Obviously there are all sorts of potential problems but it's still interesting.
Caveat Emptor
Edit: I haven't seen any fix of switching menus/etc from Russian. It might be like that Clint Eastwood movie - you need to think in Russian etc..
Edit2: I am weak. I did this. Tip for the 'first time using Yuplay credit card verification check'.
(1) Note down the exact USD price from the main yuplay.ru page (currently shows $14.41 USD).
(2) Look online if instant banking or phone Visa etc and ask for last two transactions. Mine were $14.48 CAD and $1.45 CAD.
(3) Use the first transaction to help find the exchange rate used (i.e. yours might be Euro's or GBP rather than Canadian dollars). So I got out the Babbage engine and did $14.41 USD / $14.48 = 0.9951 and then 0.9951 * $1.45 CAN = $1.44 USD. I entered '1.44' as verification and it worked. Got emailed the Steam activation code 3 seconds later (I counted).
