It's not the best safe way because you can always make multiple steam accounts....but it's 1000% times more accessible than this atrocity!
did you consider that it's THEM promoting the magazine and in Japan's case 7-eleven?

And once again, to those complaining about this - stop acting entitled.
A) this is a promotion item. PROMOTION. Same as there are special items for gaming events. They're not required to give it to you in any other form.
B) they're not even required to run the promotion in EU at all. There are plenty of continent exclusive items. If they wanted to keep the competition to JP exclusive, they could have done it.
