I assume you mean using a VPN? Doing that will get you banned on steam.

/shrug just because its not guaranteed doesn't make it false.

Ex. Just because most people don't get caught speeding doesn't make it any less illegal.

Using a VPN won't get you banned.. Valve wrote in their license agreement that you CAN get banned - It's not allowed. But I haven't heard of a single account that got banned for using VPN to activate a key.

I'm from germany, and sadly I'm using alot of VPN and gifts to get uncut games - Over 500 games and no ban.

Search on google. There are tons of people that have got banned but I guess they got their accounts suspended because of something else :P

I suspect Valve takes these VPN abusers on a case-by-case basis, looking for people who are primarily purchasing out-of-region games to save an unreasonable amount of money.

I think we could very loosely compare this to how America's DEA tend to go after high volume distributors and manufacturers, rather than street corner dealers and end users.

Valve has no right to ban you for using VPN (in EU).
Maybe in USA. But, who cares USA? :P

I know you can in the US, not sure about EU. I'm pretty sure that if Valve knows they'll suspend you.

I would try to trade it on steamtrades, being certain that your trade partner is aware that the key will only work in Russia. If they want to try using a proxy server or a VPN to activate it outside of Russia, that is their risk.

Don't do it, I was in the same scenario last week and I used VPN, turns out that even activating the game with VPN, a popup message will appear saying that you can't play the game outside the region you bought, so...you have to be in Russia to play russian games, and playing with VPN is far more dangerous than just activating a cd-key.

Trade dat key.

Edit: you can see the game on my library with 0 playtime, that's the russian key...I have contacted steam and we are on the process of removing the game.

They're not. They activate this subscription, which is not restricted.

I know, I've bought quite a few of them. Plus there isn't a cdr for a region restricted key. The steam store version is region-restricted yes but not the keys.

I've bought one last week, and yes they are, proof is my library.

Plus:

If they weren't, now they are, just like Borderlands 2.

Try a risky trade in steamtrades(keys always are risky, and russian keys...) or regift it(they even encourage you to do) where you won it are the best options IMO.
