Buying a game with vpn

[neltrd]

if a game is not available in my region, can I use VPN to buy it? if it lets me buy it will I be able to play it whenever without vpn or will I have to use vpn every time I want to play?

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to order or purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

I think that, you can ask your friend from another region, where this game is available to prise you this game

Use of a VPN to try and buy games will result in your account getting suspended.

No. A game not being available in your region isn't some kind of cleverness test to solve. Violating the Steam SSA to try and get what you want on your terms may have consequences you won't like.

If you do this they will terminate your account. It specifically says that when you look up if you can use a VPN to buy games or not.

What law? Some countries it is illegal to use VPN's in many it's not, including the US where Steam is based. Their stance is that you should not use it to bypass restrictions such as buying games from regions other than your own not that it's illegal to use them full stop.

Spoofing your location in another region can get your account flag, which either locks your account, or terminate your account as a whole. This apply to most game stores, reason is to deter people trying to abuse regional pricing, and scammers. Even if say I won't abuse, or I'm paying more, it doesn't matter it applies to everyone by this rule don't region hop that you're not even in by spoofing your location using VPN, proxy, or etc...

Have you forgot how they nailed al Capone, I'm sure its a tax issue and then ppl do this someday you will geta shutdown account. ( and im not so sure steam will undo that then goverment force a tax issue with any masked or VPN look alike connection. )

i dont work for steam, but i bet steam dont need this, they are foced then someday its goverment wont accept lost tax renevue. ( also see a steam mac user had a servies called frame security look like a vpn masked in the terms os service from some reouted traffic, this will also be effect.

its not VPN in it self thats the problem its then used with steam then buy stuff and play online,
you dont need ppl make world cross connection that take bandwide up and have a higher cost,

gl with understand what VPN is doing, any technician can tell you cost more in traffic then standard connection.

so technicaly you could say VPN is actual a problem if all did it.
