But if i want to play multiplayer, must i have ROW or not to play with player from around the world ? i heard of "region-locks" which means you can only play with players from your own country...

I'm not 100% sure but I've had people with their flag set as Canadian or French so possibly. yes, however they may still be from the UK just with a different flag ofc

Ok i found the answer for my question : here is it !!!

On Steam, F1 2012 is a ROW game. It means there are restrictions for regions. Then you must go to https://steamdb.info/ and find the game, here F1 2012 ROW. In the "Information" label (at left), we can see what is the restrictions. For this game, it is written like that :

"Known restrictions
No cross region trading or gifting
Cross region trading and gifting is disabled for this item."  (https://steamdb.info/sub/16637/info/)

That is why it is ROW. Other games have ROW or other tags for differents restrictions, which you must search to find what are they.

I hope this will help !
