i don't think you can do that on-the-fly...
valve will probably ask you for proof like home address to verify you are living in that country.

This is what they say.
In practise I can change between Sweden, Hungary, Japan any time I want. :) I even have same never-used account set up for Russia and Canada. If you can make a Steam wallet payment while choosing a region somehow, they will lock it in gladly and offer it as a selectable region any time.

I used to live in China.
After I came back to Turkey I found out I was still getting Chinese prices.
Then I changed my address and it started to give me Turkish prices.
I believe you have to type an adress in that area to be able to get that countried prices..
Note: You can buy and play games but you can't share them with someone.

You'll need to show them an ID or something that states you leave there. Even if you do so, I think that games are not just region-restricted to buy but region-restricted to play as well.
Don't quote me on this, but if it really is like I said, you won't be able to play the games when you'll return back to your country.

I'm not getting any ID's there except I guess a ticket and/or hotel room :D

Well like I said the ID is not the only problem you'll run into. Even if you somehow manage to get an ID or something and buy games in those regions, when you'll return to your country you'll probably won't be able to play them. You will have to use a VPN to do so and that seems to be risky.

The Indian versions didn't have a warning text as Russian so I don't think they are legion locked :)

Thank you man, I've already read it.
I hoped to get some real experience since things are rarely simple as it says :D

You can buy The Witcher 3 from GOG if you are in russia, they don't have steam's draconic regional policy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope. Witcher 3 in Russia is $30 for the base game + expansion pass. Pretty sweet if you ask me. Don't forget to clear browser cache to see the current local price.

Hahahaha
I know but the point is using the possible discount :D
Comment has been collapsed.
You can change region and with a Wallet top-up it'll offer games from then on. But all of those regions are locked, so if you ever move outside their IP range, you won't be able to access the games bought there, unless you use a VPN… which will violate Steam ToS and may result in account suspension. (Low chance, but it is there.)

Create alt accounts in the places you go. ( So they get the region wallet and store price )
Send games as gift to main account.

So due to work I'll be traveling possibly through Russia, India, Asia and I'm wondering is it smart to change my STEAM region and use the region discounts.
Are there any repercussions or drawbacks to the games I buy?
Which games have a huge discount compared to EU prices and are worth buying?
Example The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is around 10€ in India region while in EU it's around 30€
Any other suggestions, advice or opinions on this?
