Gaming

Hey,

so I know that question has been asked a few times online already, however none of the answers really helped in my case or were missing specific questions where an answer would really help me. For anyone of you living in Germany (or apparently (west-)Australia too) and trying to buy Max Payne (1) today, you might know how hard it is to literally just buy the game. I already played the game a LONG time ago, however I'd like to play it again, which is why I went to Steam and... it is region-blocked. Can't even buy it. On Rockstar's website it just gives me a 404. Mobile version on Google Play Store can't be bought anymore as well, since it just says: "It's for an older version of android". Nothing on GOG too.

So obvious solution would be a key for Steam, right? Well... that's my question. Which one? Most of the time it just says: "Warning: This key can not be activated in Germany". On Kinguin for example, but there's also a Max Payne 1 & 2 combo where it says it can be activated. My concern is that it will only work for Max Payne 2, which I already own. Global keys don't work (according to the sites like Kinguin or G2A), has anyone from Germany tried a certain key that worked and can help me? Or does anyone know with 100% certainty?

Is it possible to find another alternative to buying a key? Tbh I'm not a big fan of those websites and how they operate. Abandonware websites took the game down too, since it can be bought in most areas (despite it being technically abandoned, but their reasoning is of course correct).

I know a remake is in the works, however it's especially the old, classic version I'm interested in. Apart from that the remake will probably be Epic-exclusive first and cost 50-60 bucks...

Thank you in advance, even if you can't help me out! Have a nice day.

//EDIT: Blake was nice enough to help me out with this! His solution actually works! Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. :D Insane how quick this was.
