Question about a trade I have just made

Open
AmitM9S6

I have bought Castlevania 2 for 4 TF2 Keys, everything went well...

The gift looked totaly normal (I've checked it very well), not saying ROW/RU or anything, just details about the game...
I've activated it sucessfully (Not even a slight problem / anything different then any other gift i've been activating)
But then when I asked the seller where he was from, he said Russia, and when I asked him that I saw it is locked there, he said "it's his little secret", yet told me it's 100% Row, but maybe I should not activate it now, but later...

I live in Israel, never used VPN or anything else, and had no trouble activating the gift...
It also did not say anything about any restriction, nowhere during the activation process...

I think if it really was restricted, it would not let me activate the gift, as if it is restricted to a region, it'd see I live in Israel and wont let me, right ? So I have nothing to be worried about ?

Should I be worried? I'm currently downloading the game, without any trouble, and everything seems fine and perfect, I'm not suspecting anything..

Edit: When I go to my account details -> License and Subscriotions, It doesnt say it is RU or ROW, just says "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle Gift/Guest Pass" as 99% of my activated gifts are...

Thank you!

Don't worry it's safe. If it doesn't say RU, nothing to be alarmed about. He got a ROW copy (search the how on google/reddit) and that's all.

But if he lives in Russia, he can he get a ROW copy ?

He's not supposed to be able to, but some people do shady things.

Odds are you're OK, but there's some chance your game will disappear from your library one-day without warning.

I dont mind for it to disspear, I mind about something worse to happen...
Are you sure that worst case, the game will be gone ?

It is okay, if anything goes wrong, just revert the trade.

Nah, nothing will happen. All you did was trade for it through a Steam feature, why would anything happen to you?

I don't know, but now that you make it sound like this (as this is also true), I am feeling more comfortable now!
Thank you very much!!!

If you have a RU tagged copy you cant active it, only with VPN. So everything is fine if you are currently downloading it.
