I am from Turkey and I traveled to Azerbaijan for two weeks. I saw hacknet is on sale and bought it (still have turkish store didn't update it). Will there be a problem in Turkey?

Note: I tried to buy a gift in Azerbaijan and it was Turkey Restricted.

Note 2: I created a thread to ask when I'm be there will there a problem about a few days ago. 43 yes and 26 no. I'm not having any problems.

Your store remains the same no matter what, until you use a payment method local to Azerbaijan. So you won't have any problems.

But isn't that means everyone can buy from other country's stores to get it cheap?

Well, if you travel around the world, yeah. But no one gets a payment method local to each country the moment they land there. Soo...

I didn't understand what do you mean with payment method, doesn't every country have mastercard visa etc?

Credit cards have their own personal information including living address. Paypal has the same.

For some time now Steam sells you not based on current IP but on set store region. The only difference you may see is that if you travel to a new country, Steam offers you to set it as the new store region manually in your account settings.
