But he will be suspended by SG and Steam =D
Game won't be activated on a current account + VPN usage to break regional limits or smth =d
Nice advice after all!
One day I will create a nice GA for blue hearted guys, at least I hope so...

Doesn't matter if it's a giveaway. Steam explicitly forbid the use of VPNs. If it isn't allowed on Steam it isn't allowed here. As you're logging in through steams openid you're still bound by the SSA.

You have a low value account and as such might not mind risking it but that's not the case for everyone. Itd be pretty much impossible to rebuild my account as I'm nearing 100 removed games and that's before even considering the cost of everything else.

TL;DR Suggesting a VPN is a dick move and we don't want it here.

but it will also be a violation of the rules of the site. according to the rules I have to activate it on your account, and the game itself I really like, do not want to lose her.

If you allow it, the GA creator can request a re-roll or delete the giveaway. Sadly, it does not look like you'll be able to play RE4 :(

Напиши раздающему, что ты не можешь активировать подарок и проси о новом победителе - правильный шаг. Или же тоже самое: скажи, что не можешь активировать по таким-то причинам и настаивай на получении такой версии обители зла, которую ты сможешь активировать. В этом случае раздающий должен будет или отдать тебе желаемое, или же мириться с not received.

В его же раздаче. Он получит твое сообщение, запросит нового победителя или же попросит сапорт удалить раздачу. Твое сообщение лишь будет доказательством, что ты не против.

happened with me, that was the answer i got on my ticket:

Hello CrOnNoS.

Region restricted giveaways must be properly tagged during creation. Since this one did not, if the creator does not give you a correct gift when 7 days are up, please mark it Not Received.

just like that. Sadly, you should give the gift back.
I really think the guy who tried to give a region locked for me didn't really mean that, but those are the rules. If you accept to reroll or something you might get ban for not activating the gift

That's not true. The game will no longer be counted as won by you, so you're safe.

well i don't know how rerolls works exactly. On my ticket i asked about rerolling but i think i asked about me accepting it and rerolling. If i understood well your post above, looks like there's a way to just let the owner reroll without any penalizations. Then yes, that would be the best option and what i should have done if i knew it before =P

The owner of the giveaway needs to be the one who asks support for a re-roll, otherwise they won't do it. If support accepts it, then a new winner will be picked.

I believe I recall seeing that support was not accepting rerolls for these humble restricted games. They probably don't want to have to keep rerolling them until they find someone that can activate it.

Not wholly accurate. It sounds to me as though the game is region restricted rather than region locked. Region locked games can only be activated within the region in question and those are what your support reply is referring too.

Region restricted games on the other hand can be activated anywhere but the region in question, typically Germany or Australia. These can be created as normal giveaways without a region and wil be valid for a reroll (especially as a gift, keys are always a questionable matter). With these it's ultimately down to the entrant/winner to know what's redeemable in their region.

regional restrictions on the distribution of activation nebylo, I think the person who created the distribution is not guilty, it will not be to blame. just really sad that won the game which is like the way of the bundle and can not play.

you can ask the giveaway creator to provide a region-free key/gift, or give the item back and let him reroll or delete the giveaway.

don't mark as received.
don't use a vpn.

That is strange. There is a RU/CIS version of the game, but otherwise the only other restricted areas are Germany and Japan; every other country gets WW/ROW keys.

Nope, a few publishers decided to ensure Humble Bundle has proper regions, so based on where you live (the address tied to your payment data), you get region-restricted keys. So, for example, a Russian buyer would get a RU/CIS key for Resident Evil 4 in the now-ending Capcom bundle.
