Have you tried other servers/countries?

Lol, amateur hour at Gamespot again . Maybe Air will find a way to circumvent it, they are really good at that

I tried AirVPN exit nodes in Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Ukraine, Romania and Switzerland. All with the same result:

 

Your current IP address XX.X.XX.XXX has been blocked Why did this happen?

You may be on a network that was blocked due to malicious traffic from that network. If that is the case this is not at all your fault. You just have some bad neighbors. Please send an email including your IP address to ipbans (at) gamespot.com (for gamespot, giantbomb and comicvine) and we'll look into it. We're really sorry for the hassle.

I am very impressed with how Air handles site blocking. My former VPN providers, and they were all major ones, seemed to do nothing to circumvent site blocks or were extremely slow to react if they ever did. Air has an entire subsection of the forum devoted to it and usually reacts very fast and efficient, even to challenging blocks. I just get more and more impressed with Air
