People is some countries have less income (Maybe less than $5000 in a year) They can't buy a game in full price, That's a benefit for both game publishers and the players in these countries and abusing this is a kind of fraud. U may have an income of $60K in a year in country like US, and paying $60 for a game is nothing.

You will risk to get VAC ban for activating other region keys in Steam through VPN, i think its just not worth it.

And what if you go to another country, let's say Japan from Europe and buy a game(region locked to Asia) there and activate it there on your laptop or something , that is completly legal, right ? If that is the case then how are they knowing if you didn't in fact visit the aforementioned country and activate it there ?

Its legal if your country on moment of activation is matched key region. Probably Steam got ways to detect it, specifically in terms of service there is whole paragraph about VPN and its forbidden. Of course, there is many game collectors who activate games through VPN and claim that you safe from VAC ban but for me its just not worth a risk.

According to Steam's TOS, you're supposed to keep your Steam account's "region" as your country of residence. Even if you visit other countries.

I know that VAC is just anticheat tool, still you will likely to get some sort of suspension for VPN cheap tricks.

If you know what it is your should really not call it a VAC ban then because you do nothing but contribute to more confusion as to what a VAC ban actually is. You would probably just get your account locked for that.

Dude, i live in Romania and here the prices are the same as Germany for every game except that our minimum income in about 300$ and if you finished College and have at least 1 year experience it's 335$. Imagine spending 60$ aka 1/5 of your MONTHLY salary to get a f0cking game !

He is the same guy who is actively promoting his idea of AAA games go for admins and friends, apparently that is not the only thing he is angry about. Just let it slide.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because he thinks it's related to deals and such. He's talking about users getting better deals, after all. Not saying it's the right category, but his logic makes sense.

TRADES. it's the wrong site, not just the wrong category.
Comment has been collapsed.
Perhaps his grammar and way of expression are confusing to me right now, but this looks like him pitching an idea, not proposing a trade.
More of a "Wouldn't this be interesting" rather than "I'll buy games from other regions". My bad.

Region locks? Yeah. But not for all games. That's why I tell you to speak with guys who can offer you what you want to buy to determine offer is interesting for you or not.
As exemple.
I (First) stage of a deal making:
Lets use a schedule in which you as a client will write this kind of information that you last in a public tchat:
- Name of game that you want.
- Current price of the game in your region.
- Link to your steam account page.
Other schedule for a game seller include this kind of information that he sends to you:
- Name of game.
- Proposing price.
- Link to his steam account page.
II stage of deal making
Answear you accept or not the proposed price in term of 3 days
III stage of deal making
Guy send you a number of mastercard/visa or other similar thing. You send him money. He buys you a game and sends it to your steam account as a gift.

This is how things use to be.....YEARS ago.
I was lucky enough to make a tonne of money/ games doing it, other mates of mine were not so lucky.
They followed a guide and program I customised for them and 3 of them were suspensed and had to show steam remorse and promise it wont happen again. AND tha was before all the vpn to play they added.
But their are far to many region locks know, needing vpn to activate AND vpn to play.
Not worth the effort or the risk to anyone.

Well, there are 2 possible locks - activation lock and run lock.
Activation lock prevents the key from being activated inclusively or exclusively in some countries.
Run lock prevents the game from being played inclusively or exclusively in some countries, but it will lose effect after 90 days the game is on your account.
From my observation, keys with activation lock is more common than those with both types. So most people can just redeem the key with VPN and play it without.
Regardless, there's still a risk of getting banned if your account is seen frenquently jumping from one country to another, crossing large distance in short period of time .

Hello!
I want to discuss about one interesting thing.
I don't know maybe someone pay attention to this but a lot of games have a different prices in different countries.
Some editors wish to gain more money from all over the world (or want to share their creation to max number of gamers) but all in all for the same games guy from USA for exemple will pay 30$ when guy from CIS will pay 20$.
So what about making of a small trade market of steam games where people can speak straight one to the other to make an interesting deal for both.
What that means? By buying games from people from other region you can save a lot of money and receive official access to wished games.
+There are many great games that you can't buy anywhere. Beacause they have a region restriction.
Thanks! I appreciate your attention and activity.
P.S. If you know some official trade markets where I can do things like this please left liaison to these resources.
