How does one buy Venus Prism, if it does not exist in country

[lacres181]

steam keeps saying "does not exist in country" even when using VPN

[Lay_Laa]

changing country in steam nowadays get harder.
I heard you must top up in that country credit card, or currency.

I've never heard about someone who was banned for doing it even being against the rules I know people who did It

You can also ask someone to gift the game to you

is there a "legit" or someway to buy these games and have no issues?
as someone mentioned before, steams getting more, uptight, about these things.

Someone gifting the game to you is the easier way

You can also play in the physical midia for PS5

Travelling to one of the countries where the game is available and then changing the location of your account officially, but I don't think this is a viable option

dont really wanna spend almost $700+ (PSN+ and buying the game on playasia, and the console from gamestop or amazon) when i already spent $600 (had a good deal) for a PC that can possibly run better or as good as a PS5/Pro.
so unless you know and can vouche for someone, then i wouldnt mind spending $60 for a steam copy, if it works without any issues.

You don't need PSN for a single player game

Someone from the allowed regions can gift it to you, and it works properly?

Afaik yes, it works

[Bird Beater]

Wouldn't the way you do it be you just go through the same process you have to do to wishlist the game, but instead you actually buy the game? I'm not sure if that breaks any rules, but I'd try to find out for sure before you actually do it.

1. All, all you have to do is, add any game to your cart.
2. Change your currency to the currency of the region locked game.
3. Back out of the purchase!
4. Then go to the Store page for said game you couldn't see from region lock before.

Profit by finding someone to gift it to you, so you don't lock yourself into foreign payments for 3 months by actually changing your currency with a different address.

I think those get banned because they changed into a currency that has lower price than their original currency.

For your case, get someone who can buy to gift you the game.

Find someone with mutual trust?

That someone will gift you prism, and then you will gift something equivalent in return?

Is this how they do it?

It's a store ban and profile ban, my friend who was banned, still can login and download and play their owned games, all of them, Gaben was that fair, but they cannot speak on the forums, change their profile ever, or purchase games ever again on that account.

However, some areas of the world have too large a regional price difference so they cannot gift it to them. Only places where the exchange rate doesn't lose Steam money. Again, that's why you need to trust who you do this with, you have to be sure. Good luck, and check the game forum as there are people willing to gift freely for the community.

Gifting only works if there is a certain amount of parity between currencies. If the value differs too greatly, Steam won't allow the gift. This changes from day to day as currencies fluctuate. IMHO the risk of a ban for buying the game yourself is low, Steam allows this process of region changing for people who legitimately move around the world, so isn't going to jump on people who use the process sparingly. If you're sensible and don't abuse the process, you're going to be fine.
