Microsoft Store - can't buy as locked down to US only - Steam Refunded - Purchased through Xbox page instead

So my Steam refund came through, I went to Microsoft Store to buy and it’s only open to US addresses.
This was just not meant to be.
Update: If you got to Xbox page and purchase through there, then there are no issues.

The only joke is you got a refund to purchase the same game. Jesus.

No, just getting rid of the middle man :slight_smile:

I was able to get it through MSFT store in Canada. However, it was a bit of a gong show to get there though.

Yeah, I ended up buying through Xbox page, strange but it worked. I am finally downloading directly from Microsoft.

Once I installed the XBOX app it became clear that I could have saved a step there. This was a steep learning in how MSFT distributes their games through PC now.

Painful exercise it was.
