when are they going to ban all users on steam that change their store currency to shitty 3rd world country money with a vpn, which makes everything 50-80% cheaper, ive been using this scheme for about a year now, i expected to get banned long ago
btw, for anyone interested, instructions: >go to argentina/russia with vpn while steam is closed (best prices) >open steam, account settings, update store country >select new country, fill out any other info you won't be able to use your credit card on this account until you change the store country back, so: >make a new account, use an old unused one, or ask for a friend you trust, you need another steam account that was on the friend list of your main for at least 2 weeks >use that account to send a digital gift card to your main,which will convert to the argentina/russia currency and thats how you get any game for 50-80% off, check steamdb.info for price details
dumbest shit i've read in a long while you can simply just buy keys from resellers like cdkeys they're cheap enough, going through the trouble just to save a few bucks is just pathetic
Matthew Torres
lets take halo mcc for example, cheapest cd key is 35 bucks, while on russian steam store its fucking 8 dollars i saved around 400 dollars the past year just by doing this, also, it took me 20 minutes to do all this the first time ive done this, retard
Jason Howard
also, you only have to do this once, the store stays in that currency for ever, you only need the gift card from the other account
Samuel Rogers
I've always wondered why they even bother with 3rd world countries like russia and stuff. Is it really that much they earn from those shitholes?
just move to a 3rd world country, you can't even use the store page navigation to the change the currency cheap skates like you probably have other issues than just money kys autismo
Jack Bell
i have read people get bannes from this, is it worst case scenario?
Christian Green
i suppose if you were to change countries evey week, valve would notice, other than that its safe, most of my friends use this and nobody i know got banned
William Rodriguez
Yea too bad we can’t all be like you. Dipshits that get ripped off.
Mason Wilson
just make a 2nd account spend 5$ a year and gift your main with it then keep your main in the other country when you get the games edit to your langauge GG you speak to russian friends on steam it will just say you live in russia the only downside
Parker Price
what is the point of changing back?
Samuel Nelson
of course you get banned and your games are region locked to whatever 3rd word country you got it from and need a vpn to play them boo fucking hoo those $5 that I might have saved really going to have a impact on my life eng yourself
Noah Foster
not changing back, but changing to other countries, some games are cheaper in argentina, some are cheaper in russia
Isaiah Martin
pick one lol you dont need to minmax you sound like you work at steam want to get banned change country every few weeks and forget your vpn once want not to get banned pick a country and use vpn if they question you say that you have family in x country that you stay with throught the year
Camden Roberts
using reseller's keys on steam is against the TOS
Jaxon Mitchell
if you're this poor, just pirate it
Ethan Parker
or if you have patience and money swap country use vpn gift card $1000-2000 buy up a shit ton of games like all the games you will want for the next however long dont use steam for 3 months change back you moved to x country but it didnt work out and you thought you would be working from home and your friend gifted you the money as a fair well present but like you said it didnt work out
Logan Edwards
your monkey brain is against the TOS
Ryan Sanders
And Valve caught on to that, resulting in newer games being priced much higher. Thanks for that. Might as well go all the way and pirate them if you are willing to do stuff like that.
>going through all this bullshit just to play with your 3rd world region locked games with 3rd world degenerates through a fucking VPN just to save a few bucks has to be severe mental illness final bump
Brayden Walker
what? they arent region locked retard
Daniel Cox
What are you talking faggot? You can make an account for singleplayer and multiplayers games.
Landon Collins
Not that user. I am told if you got that game from 3rd world, so it is more likely to be region locked. If you switch back to US, that game may not be installed or gimped version (like no English, only spic language).
Brandon Peterson
you can mod/edit to fix language
Michael Phillips
yeah it can be done, but tedious af.
James Lopez
you can do this on the xbox one store, i dont think they care
Anthony Phillips
Why go though that headache, when you can just pirate it?
Luis Bailey
some people just really like steam i guess?
Lincoln Gonzalez
If most people pirated then steams prices would drop to russian levels. You're basically paying a good goy tax at the moment.
Grayson Walker
This. Ubisoft raised the prices and more companies are doing the same because you're a poorfag
