Hey team,

If I buy PC games overseas, will they play okay in my laptop? Specifically thinking the USA, and since they're DVD-ROM I didn't know if there'd be an issue?

no issue at all. PC games are not region-locked. enjoy your imported games!

edit: i would however recommend buying from english speaking countries as some may be in foreign languages and may not have the option to install in english.

It should work ok, but it's known that some publishers have locked out people who imported games from different regions.
