Thats why I make sure my VPN is connected to a server of my Country. Only time I use another Countries server is when streaming Netflix and I don't Use Netflix while I game.

Wait if you don't mind. If you do mind refund it. Make sure VPN off/server in your country then buy it again

i think they already put some barriers to prevent tht because the region restrictions are gonna be useless tht way

In theory yeah. Assuming you can buy the game in your region of course. May take time for the refund. Though usually not long it it goes to your wallet instead of a card.

Can't say I've tried it myself as I'm careful not to use non UK servers for that very reason. Feel free to wait for someone else to verify it.

Could also go here. Select the game and describe your mistake to support and see what they recommend

Not really because it you used a VPN to get it at a cheaper price you'd only get the same you spent back. Not like buying a game that is $10 from another region when it's $20 where you are and refunding it to get $20. You'd have spent $10 and so you'd get $10 back.

Last time I checked VPN's dont work anymore and the only way to buy a game from another region is to have a payment method from that region in order to change your store.

So something sounds fishy, or you didn't buy the game off steam.

[SamiUwU]

no? my stores been already set to russia for yrs i bought stronghold legends first and it worked fine but this time i had my vpn on set to germany and the steam caught the wind tht i already did the cheap thing stuff but i didnt

[Brian9824]

Again store's dont change because of your IP or a VPN. https://www.vg247.com/2020/07/30/steam-country-change-restrictions-exploit-regional-pricing/

Steam now requires users to make a purchase using a payment method issued in the country they want to change their store to.

Also since you live in Korea per your profile you just admitted to years of region fraud,

bro what are u on abt nobody cares abt the region everybody can set what they want

Valve does because deliberately masking your location in order to buy games that are restricted purchases in your country means Valve is breaking the law. Then there is the possibility of doing so to buy games at a cheaper price.

EDIT: Honestly didn't know about the changes back in July 2020. Wasn't paying much attention back then.

@brian9824 thanks for the update. Won't worry when I connect to a UK server and Steam and/or other sites think it's a non UK server and I disconnect/reconnect.

Again turning on a VPN doesn't change your store region and it hasn't for a while. The only way to change your region is to use a payment method from that region. It was changed back in July 2020.

besides its not like im goin to have a normal access to pc and internet in N.korea lmao
