Will I get banned if I bought any game using VPN?
Thinking of buying games from Argentina because it's cheaper. But will I get banned if I used VPN to buy games?

using aVPN to bypass reginal restrictions and prices is a violation of the steam subscriber agreement.

Violating said agreement can result in a ban, yes. Especially when you're trying to abuse the system.

Note that this may not workin your favor anyway as you may just end up buying a region locked version of the game that you won't be able to play anyway.

Will I also get banned if I have a Argentinian account and bought a game without using VPN?

there are no such thing as an Argentinian account. the account should be set to the region you live in. setting the store to a different region is grounds for ALL related accounts to be locked/terminated

what do you mean by an argentinian account? If you mean to set your country to argentina or something when this isnt true then yes it is bannable(steam knows your real location anyway).The price you pay depends on the country you are living in
If you exploit other regions income situation,
you might cause them to not have access.

You can no longer use VPN's to buy games in other regions. You need a payment method issued by that region in order to change your store location.

Using any other region then the one you currently are living in can be grounds for your Steam account to be shut down.
