Russian Shop - Worldwide Key

[DaddyO`Five]

Hello, i have a question that often gets asked a lot - but in reverse.
In Russian steam shop many AAA games are region locked or language locked. That means i can't acquire a worldwide region game unless i use vpn outside of russia.
I want to buy a game for myself to play with my friend and to steamshare but i need a worldwide version of this game. So i am just wondering - if i have a russian region but i will buy a global key from some other site(which is significantly more expensive for me) and activate this key, will i have the global version of the game?. I need to do that with two games that's GTA 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands.

you need to buy ROW keys.

do NOT use a VPN to purchase such keys. acquire them from LEGAL external sites.

once a ROW key is activated on your account they should be shareable.

however GTA 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands are not shareable because they use a third party account which is tied to the Key owner's steam account

It's not only for sharing i want Ghost Recon WIldlands to be Global because i want to have different language options then russian and chinese.

Then complain to Ubisoft for providing you with the languages for your country. They have full control over what you do and don't get.

its their product, they decide how it get distributed and what languages is in.

Because they put the language restriction based on region location on their game.

None of this is a Steam issue.

If you buy it on Steam it's always a Steam issue.
OK, so buying a global version of the game on Steam should clear me out of problem with language restriction?

Ubisoft's game, Ubisoft's issue.

Steam is just the place Ubisoft sells their games on.

steam is a store, they didnt decide what version of the game is sold in russia, the game developer/publisher made that decision. steam has no say in it.

There's no way for you to buy a "global" version on Steam without breaking Steam's subscriber agreement. All retail keys for Ubisoft games redeem on Uplay. The only way to buy a Ubisoft game on Steam is directly through the store.

Ok, guys thank you for your input but these answers are useless for me. I am not here to argue where you guys think i should post complains about. Like i said, My Steam Store and everything is Russian region, so i can't buy Wildlands Global directly from the store.I am just curious if somebody (best from own experience) knows if i will activate a Global Key for Wildlands on my steam account i will be able to play global version of the game since my Steam Store Region is Russian. Steam provides such information (about what region game was bought and activated) to Ubisoft otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell them.

Valve provides all the tools and the developers/publishers decide how to implement or use them how they want.

Ah so i can't just buy a global key for Wildlands on Steam from a retailer and activate it to be able to play with no language restrictions?. The problem is i would have to vpn my store either way on Uplay to buy it directly from the store because they also provide me with russian region prices and games.

Well I think you'll find that's generally against most store's ToS. So when you get your account terminated, no tears because you were warned.

Ubisoft are known for their awful language support on eastern region locks. At one point all they offered was Russian language, even in the Chinese market.
