Error code 8x80a40401 - regions where service is not available

Hello everyone!
It started just on May 4th.
You appear to be in the region where this service is not available. (8x80a40401)
I was wondering if this is a glitch that will be fixed in the very near future, or is it specifically blocking users from some countries. So far, most of the complaints come from Russia :relieved:
