European region locked game
if i have a region locked game on my steam library already and I purchase a worldwide key from the same game will I be able to redeem it/play it? I bought the key from instant gaming and the game shows up in my account but I'm not able to play it because its region locked, basically my question is If I purchase the exact same game again but this time a world wide key, will I be able to redeem it and play it with the game already being In my account?

Don't buy a key for it if you can wait 90 days. The game will become region free.


I hope you didn't use a VPN to activate it..

I didn't use a VPN to activate it, I just redeemed the key and it showed in my account, it wasnt until I tried to download the game from my library that I realized it was an European key.

Why do you say that about the 90 days? I didn't knew this? It works for any game?

Every game should turn region free after 90 days.

This does not mean that every game will work if they define specific regions within the game itself. But generally it should at least run.

Where's Ogami. Never gonna get a quick method to message him are we...

I think mine has a specific region set, but I'm not sure, it just says I can't play it for region restrictions, but if it will be free in 90 days that's dope
