Wondering the sameIs it still possible to receive a $16 Witcher 3 or is there no hope then? Assuming sellers have had them in inventory for some time.

It is "said" to be risky but if more and more people do it, Valve wouldn't "dare" to ban accounts for that.Here's my question, can't you just vpn to open the gift and then keep it in your account? as long as it is only gift locked and not region locked (as the former is just for opening and the latter is for normal use afaik) isn't this viable?
I was wondering this myself.Does anyone know if the new region locking has anything to do with steam game keys bought from other countries websites? Or is this just a steam gift issue? If anyone knows, then maybe the Russian sellers can start buying keys instead of gifts to sell and trade???

My understanding is that all that has changed has been the "Allow Cross Region Trading And Gifting" flag being set to "No" for all games on Steam. As such, it should only affect gifting, and not key redemption (one of our Russian friends can probably clarify this). That said, individual keys CAN be region-locked, and have been locked before, even if the game was not locked on Steam. That was under the old model, though. While I haven't heard of any changes to keys yet, it could be implemented later. Sorry I don't know more, but hopefully this helps.I was wondering this myself.
Given the slow, deliberate way Valve's basically set out to destroy cross realm trading recently, I'd be very, very wary right now.My understanding is that all that has changed has been the "Allow Cross Region Trading And Gifting" flag being set to "No" for all games on Steam.
