CNet.com.au posted a good article about Steam and the users outside of North America who have been on the receiving end of some pretty questionable treatment from the big publishers for a while now, like limited releases to NA region or over priced games.

Ubisoft: "Ubisoft is still studying the different options concerning the digital market and official announcements on this subject could be made in the coming months."

THQ AU: "Unfortunately we are unable to comment on the situation with Steam at this stage."

Sega AU: "We honestly have nothing to do with Steam here in Australia."

Atari AU: "This is a US deal with Steam done by Atari Inc and has nothing to do with Atari Australia." Kotaku AU got a bit more of an answer, managing to get it's "US-only due to licensing agreements".

2k Games AU: 2k Australia forwarded a request to 2k US, but we're still awaiting a response. According to Kotaku AU, the games catalogue used to be there and is coming back eventually.

Rockstar: No response.
