11/14/2023 0 Comments Tell me why steam regionEdit: I think I should clarify this only applies for Gifts/CD-Keys - as direct store pages are handled differently.īut due to the fact that I haven't seen anyone knowing that I wanted to do a PSA so Steam users would finally know Remember - activating Steam games that are region locked with VPN is forbidden according to the TOS - you can get banned for that! TD DR : Region Locked games are getting unlocked 3 Months after activation. Especially after seeing a thread about region lock today on the subreddit. Of course it is not as complex or intriguing as some would've hoped - but due to the fact that I haven't seen anyone knowing that I wanted to do a PSA so Steam users would finally know. This is happening exactly 3 months after the game was activated, I've tested this with RU cd-keys, BR gifts and it was always 3 months before the games were unlocked and playable without VPN. Now - at this point you are probably asking yourself "What what? Are region locked games getting unlocked?", short answer: Yes. You activate the game to your account so it is in your library. You buy a game from a cheap region (Travelling/Trading). However - I found out (After testing with several region locked games) how the system works, because there in fact is a variable that, as far as I know, hasn't been stated or talked about anywhere else. This is how I always thought Region Locking worked. I personally got a huge problem with region locking, so the changes made this past year to how region locking works, made myself very salty, especially considering the fact that the changes made, meant for some people (Not me - but in fact a probable case) that they couldn't take their steam library with them if they move from cheap regions to expensive regions.īackground: Steam changed Region locking so that EVERY game was region locked when bought from cheaper regions like South America or the CIS region.
