you heard wrong - keys can (and could have in the past as well) both activation and play region locks - it all varies on game-to-game case. As you don't mention what specific game you're talking about we cannot help you - check the game on SteamDB.

The game I'm looking for isn't out yet. I'm looking for RPG Maker MV, which costs 75€ in my region and $20 in other regions.
It's not on Nuuvem right now but I asked the support and they said:
"Maybe next week RPG Maker MV will be available on Nuuvem, but this game will be restricted to Latin America and will not be able for purchase it outside this region."
Here's the Steamdb link, if it helps:

First zelghadis is right. Second VPN Play puts you on fast track to Steam ban. Third always examine Steamdb packages (= Steam subs) for that game. Result shows out of 4 packages, 2 are not territory set, 2 are code=USA (NA, not SA) which might activate. Nuveem is discouraging non SA customers lately and why not wait for a decent discount?

It's out on Nuuvem now:

There's no warning about region locks, so this should be alright, or am I wrong?
All other games with region locks seem to have warnings.

Hello,
I want to buy a game from Nuuvem, that clearly states it has a region lock.
In the past I didn't mind and activated games like that with VPN but then Valve introduced playlocks.
I heard a few times that cd keys never have playlocks, only region locks, so once you activate them, you can run them forever.
Is that still true or are there cd keys with playlocks now that need a VPN whenever you start the game?
