Can I avoid austrian censorship if I move to an another country

[sane]

I had bought a steam key from eneba for the old gta games, gta 3, vice city and san andreas and my game is censored. If I moved to an other country would the censorship be gone ?

Nope. You are stuck with those versions you added game keys for.

No, but once you found yourself a place to live, got a job, set up a bank account, and received your first paycheque, you'd be able to register a new Steam account and buy the games again on that account. Honestly, immigrating just to play GTA games, it's not worth it.

No. One, you've registered the key. It's been used. Two, a VPN does not determine your Steam region and hasn't done so for existing Steam accounts since 2018.

So if my account was created in austria I am permanently locked from changing my country?

No. You'd have to physically move to another country. Get a valid billing address and payment method for that country. Then, you'd be locked from changing your region for 3 months. If you attempt to game the system, Valve will disable your ability to purchase or activate keys on your account permanently as they don't take kindly to payment fraud.

Publicly posting your intentions to bypass regional restrictions is definitely not a good idea.

Valve and support can even see deleted posts.

Your Steam store region should be set to the country that you spend the majority of your time in. If you do not live in Serbia for more than 3 months in a year, you should not change your region to that country. Valve could consider that an attempt to game the system.

Mate I was asking if I could do that, I do know that you can get your account disabled for using a vpn to buy games for cheaper. Just because I was asking doesn’t mean I am going to do it

The keys are used. No amount of switching countries is going to change the censored versions on your account.

Thx but the dude at the top of you explained that to me already, and ngl you guys having both zero lvl accounts with all set to private and responding so fast after creating the thread seems to me a little fishy

[Stormer]

Just get them from somewhere that ignores those laws and doesn’t use steam to run the game

[peppermint hollows]

Private accounts always show as level 0. That is not their actual level.

And what's fishy about it? They're giving you correct information.
