Does anyone know if these 2 UK shipped products would be fully accessible and fully playable on my American machine? I've looked everywhere for answers when pertaining to WATCH_DOGS and SC:BL specifically but have reared no answers.

EDIT: You're post was very helpful by the way. That wiki explained quite a bit to me, however, CE.org has DVD-ROM has a suggested "format" in the region locking category. I'm just trying to cover all my corners with this before I make the purchase.
I've heard that PC games were universal but I've also heard otherwise.

PC games depending on region.

Origin support all region game but it might not have the language pack depending on where it is purchased.

For example, some PC games from Czech might be written on the box that only contain Czech subtitles and Czech voice. There are work around for Origin and uPlay but quite troublesome. The Origin client might force download the whole game again if it detects different files. Happened to my with Crysis 3 . Last I heard they will implement the region locking soon.

For uPlay games, it is completely region free on PC. There are region locking DLC for consoles.

For Steam games, steam games are region lock to 3 region. RU/CZ region, Asia region and Everywhere else.

For example if you purchase a RU/CZ region game, you will not be able to activate it in another region. This applies to all purchases from the regions. The workaround is to use VPN but again it is really not worth the trouble.

Base on what you are saying, you are interested in Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell. Both of them are uPlay games and you will not have any problem as it will 100% region free including the DLC.
