So i've just got the copy of Two Worlds 2: Velvet edition which is undoubtedly from the russion store. Can I safely activate it or am i risking being banned (or any form of punishment) from steam?
What is your opinion on this matter?

(I really liked the Two Worlds game, so i'd love to try this one too.)

Fake ip? How is that going to help? He's activating it on his Steam account not his IP.

No, the gift itself is not region locked. Maybe you had to buy the game with VPN, but I didn't have to deal with it, I traded the steam gift for TF2 item.

Is it tradable? If it is and you actually can activate it there's no risk. Well, the biggest risk would be having it removed, but that's not much.

Yes, it's a steam gift I traded away for a TF2 item.

I think not, and why should you (unless it's region blocked and you are using a proxy to activate it)? Also the pricing mistake was on Steam's side so again it's not your problem. :)

No, no. I'm sure. There's nothing wrong with activating a russian CD-key. Only problem you can have is, that this CD-key can be region locked, thats all.

I advise you either contact Steam support or write in Steam's forums hoping a moderator/Valve employee will come by, just to be on the safe side.

"Dear Steam support, I just traded for a game from a shady source that probably bought TW during the price glitch in the Russian Steam store. Now that I have it I don't know if I should activate it. Plz help."

Well, I'd say: go activate it, the worst that could happen is that Valve removes it from your library. You're not violating their TOS.

Yes, that sounds about right, that would be a nice support ticket :D

Well I think i will activate it and hope for the best :)

There is no risk, steam set the price wrong themselves

Well there is a little risk for sure, but I am starting to think it'll be ok :)

Activate it, you'll be just fine. Pricing error has been fixed and Valve doesn't care at this point anymore

You can safely activate it.
But I suggest you to "yarr!" this game, because of hardware-based DRM.

What does that mean? It will install another software protection?

I don't know about another software, but check this or steam forum.

Well the board admin said this:
Hi,

the Steam version has no activation limit!

So that should be OK :)

I activated mine. I don't think steam will ban you, since it was its own mistake.
