Absolutely. No money is better than a little money, right?

There are lots of countries that are in worse condition than Russia yet they get the standard european prices.

actually since most of America is under the poverty line and most can only get a part-time job. yeah

Take a vacation to one of those countries is the most legal way that won't get your account banned.

Could this actually work?
Take a trip to Russia from America, for example. Purchase while in Russia, connect to account. Come home...auto-converted to US?

It works on VPN, it will most certainly work if you actually visit the country. The only difference is that one will get you banned and the other is unfeasible with travel fees that would cost more than the actual game, making it pointless.

Really? So I live in Russia, but then decide to move to the US. My account will be banned?

No,but you will have to send a steam support ticket so they can change your account region.
But I assumed we were talking about vacations/trip, which in that case is not allowed.

I've heard (and this is from a 2nd hand source, so not guaranteed to be at all correct), that if you show Steam Support proof you were in the country (i.e. pic of your stamped passport), even if it's just briefly, they'll let it go. Not sure it's worth it to fly to a country to save $20 on a game though.

What if you "unexpectedly" move back after only 2 weeks when you find it's impossible to get a decent borscht in Manhattan?

Maybe if you contact support and talk to them with proof of you living in Russia and you moving to America/another country they'll over look it. No way they're going to ban your account or force you to rebuy the game if you purchased them legitimately while living in another country.

Actually, they will. If you move from Russia to United States, for instance, and send in the support ticket, they can only remove all region-restricted games from your account (because those won't be playable in the US) to allow you to re-buy the games if you want. They won't change the region of your restricted games.

It's regional bypassing and can get your account sanctioned. Don't be stupid enough to consider it an 'option', because it's not.
Comment has been collapsed.
It may, but it could also result in a so-called suspension of your Steam account.
Not cool, and not worth doing.

How can Steam support help? They can do that for censured version of games, not for replacing a cheaper regional license with a more expensive one.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you have friends in another country you can activate it. But there might be a chance it's completely region locked so you can't play it anywhere else. And then there's VPN (which is not supported in any way). If you won the game here I suggest you to contact support and ask if you can trade it to someone for ROW version since you can't activate it and not activating gifts you won is against rules.
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam support won't do anything. Steam isn't implementing a system to make cross region trading impossible just for fun. The only possibility is to life with this mistake and trade it for something else.

Hey, I just recieved a RU Steam Gift for the game South Park™: The Stick of Truth™. Now, I can't add it to my Steam Libary because I get this message: Notice: This version of the game will only be playable in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Is there still a way to active it?
