Moving from the US to Australia
Can I keep and play my 300 steam games board here in the US over there?

So no need to worry.
If you permanently move to Australia you should switch to the Australian Steam store though once you are there, it does not happen automatically.
Technically you could also stay on your US store permanently, even while living in Australia as long as you have a registered payment method from the USA for the account.

Yes. Why do you imagine it's going to be an issue?

Region issues. Some games you buy won't activate in other regions so if I have all my games in the US region can you still play them in the Asia Pacific region.

Thanks, that's good to know.
Is this verified by valve?

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
