He bought it from a friend, and it's hard to sell a region locked key, even to Russians.

He bought it for a friend. And I wouldn't call the use of a VPN risky. There is theoretical chance of getting banned for it.

I also never heard of someone being banned for it.

The second one is the weakest entry in the franchise Imo, but still an awesome game :) Good luck for you to win this game here, if you don't plan to buy it.

Ye, don't do that! When I created this Steam account (5 years ago), I had to do it because I bought most of my games with russian vpn and that account (with ~300games out of which most of them were not bought in bundles) is now locked.

I guess you could try and sell it at G2A (23$ price atm) but it will take over 15 days to get your money.

I highly doubt it'd be allowed as a new user, since it'll likely be automatically flagged as a high-risk item. Even though G2A claims the status can be revoked if the key proven legitimate, it's just rhetoric, and their copy pasta support team will just tell you to sell items at that are of lower risk of being fraud and to "learn the ropes" first. It's in their best interests, but really, it's just an aggravatingly misleading system.

After transaction you have to wait 14 days to use money , after that you can either use it as G2A wallet or you can transfer money to paypal,skrill etc but fees do apply after transfer 1$ + depends on amount transfering.

You can't do it since Store Regions were introduced. His default Store region would still be the country he first logged in from.

Phew, that 's a good question. I believe at the end of 2014. I remember getting Dying Light from a russian 4-pack bug (4 pack gifts gave out ROW copies when unpacked), and by then it was in effect, so end of 2014, start of 2015 maybe.

If thats the case I can tell you from experience that it has no affect what your "normal" storepage is. I traveled a bit last year and bought games in Singapur, Thailand, New Zealand and Dubai for the local price on steam. Since I will be in Mexico for six months I probably have time to test it there aswell :D

Games bought in (from your list) Thailand, Singapore, Mexico are initially region locked to those areas.

That was not a question about region locking when buying but if you can activate a game if you move there (get an IP adress from there).

Agreed.. I was in Dubai for work last week, but when I purchased a few games it was all in my local currency as if I was in South Africa. So region you're in does not affect the store front for pricing, etc.
