difference Global or Europe key

[Blue Steel]

Could anybody please help me, I have a question.
On steam's nemesis, G2A, There are multiple Borderlands 2 keys for sale. Borderlands 2 GOTY Steam key GLOBAL (8,90eu) and Borderlands 2 GOTY Steam key EUROPE (7,49eu).
My questions are:
1) What is the difference in the keys?
2) Why is the Europe key a lot cheaper?

I don't want to ♥♥♥♥♥ about 1,50 euros but it's a significant difference. I live in europe by the way.

Global key can be redeemed anywhere.
Europe key can only be redeemed in Europe.

I know it's a necro, but it's still not correct.

Global or RoW keys often have regional restrictions applied to them. The difference is the regional resrictions dictate where the key can't be redeemed rather than where it can.

I'm in Canada right now, can I buy a Europe key, use VPN to redeem it, and play solo in Canada once redeemed ? (That's for BL3 I mean but didn't find any topic about it on Epic)

using a VPN to alter your region risks the account being banned/locked/terminated.

You can redeem RoW keys in Europe.

difference is

both are scams from a scam company

[VOGEL]

Global key can be redeemed anywhere.
Europe key can only be redeemed in Europe.

That's clear, but will I be able to play the game I redeemed with Europe Key within Europe if I were to travel outside Europe?

If a game is on your account for 90 days or longer, the regional restrictions are removed. Unless it's banned content like Nazi symbolism in Germany.

sound like one of those karens that say masks will kill you

Difference is that in this case the Karen's are the publishers, the developers, legit storefronts, consumer rights organizations, and contract law. The only problem is to stop a site like that, they need to prosecute the individual sellers which is bad PR and prohibitively costly in legal fees. But on the whole a site like that facilitates people breaking their license terms and sucks revenue out of the industry, changing the cost vs profit ratio on games which means your favorite franchises or genres may be discontinued or underdeveloped because the money isn't there.

Multiple developers have come out and stated they prefer you downloading an pirated copy over using that site, because it costs them less money. People with a pirated copy don't come bugging them for support. Such site users are under the impression they have a legit copy, while they don't.
