More Regional Restrictions come to Steam

[WYP]

More regional restrictions come to Steam in order to combat Steam gift reselling between regions and the use of VPNs in order to get a cheaper price.

Read more on the new Steam Region restriction here.

Huge dick move by Valve. I know tons of Russians who live in the UK. They all have to pirate their games to avoid having to buy them again, so they can play them. Absolutely ridiculous.

What Valve need top do is improve their customer service and allow people top migrate regions if they need to. Perhaps give a restriction as to how many times it may be done in a given timeframe.

Whatever they do, they need to keep international people in mind that travel frequectly and still want to play the games that they OWN.

fascists

if any of the games that I have in my library steam stop working because of this, I will never buy any game that requires steam to act. and another valve go and fuck yourself. condemn piracy, while their actions push me into his arms. where there is no fucking restrictions and constraints that reflect only on me and my money. in the end I paid for a game that took the steam code and added it to me to my library and now they want me to pick from so. fascists

forgive me for my English, I use a translator.

It will not affect old games, only new games or game codes generated can be affected by the change.

Meh, there are plenty of VPN services. The only problem you will have is with MP games, using a VPN will make your ping high. Still no problem for playing SP games with a VPN.

The only thing this changes is that you will have to be connected to the VPN while you are playing the game, not much of a problem really.
