Couple of questions to throw into the room:
1.Can you still receive gifts from across the border without VPN?
2.Can you activate the gifts with a VPN?
3.Do you have to depend on the VPN in order to start the games after activation?
We can still work this out as long as they only thing that's...
Nothing to worry about, really.
If Valve didn't want people to trade cross-region you wouldn't be able to trade or activate the games on your account in the first place.
Can't really blame them though.
Obviously it would be somewhat cheaper if you knew someone in the ukraine that doesn't ask for additional fees.
Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to see their credentials unlike on CAG.
I'd be interested as well, if anyone happens to sell it that cheap.
This would really help, by the way.
It's especially troublesome if guy in question offers mainly crap.
For some reason it's available with a -91% discount right now.
Is it just for Europeans who get the "low violence" version or everyone because that's one hell of a discount.
Edit: Alright, nevermind, steam just rectified the "problem".
Could someone do me a favor and grab me the F.E.A.R. 1 collection for 2,50$ before the Halloween sales end?
I'd do it myself, alas it's still not available in Germany.
