The third one I noticed is because I bought the game on Steam.Some of them commented how neither living in Europe nor in Canada allowed them to access it until using the VPN. Some people who bought the game on Origin (before it was available on Steam) pointed out how they were able to buy resources packs with ration seals after using a VPN to set their location to the United States.

The second hypothesis is the fact that it might be region locked.

However, since the server was shutdown (they believe it was when Visceral Games died, the video game developer studio owned by Electronic Arts that worked on Dead Space).
