if you do it yourself, then yeah it is, because you need to use a vpn to purchase, which is against their TOS. getting someone else to buy for you is fine though.
all the region-switch on the website address allows you to do is view other regions pricing. it will not let you purchase through that regions version of the steam website.
and no, xboxer, no one is going to get banned just for viewing another regions version of the steam store ;)

I'm talking about BUYING it yourself.
Of course viewing it won't get you banned.
OP is talking about buying not viewing.

yes but that doesnt work, steam will still not allow you to complete the transaction, hence, even though he might be TRYING something sketchy, it still wont get him anywhere, thats the point im trying to make. he can try any ip he wants, but he wont be able to make a purchase :)

I don't think you can, at least if you're using a credit card. It checks the origin of it.

Btw it's Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and not just Macedonia (abbreviated as FYROM).
It's exactly the same like calling Republic of Bavaria anoher country outside of Germany...

I know exactly what Bavaria is. I'm saying what's the paradox by calling FYROM just Macedonia by giving an example.

True because Bavaria is a part of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The same applies for Macedonia which is a geographical and historical region of Greece.
However, another neighboring country claimed the same name and that caused a conflict and a paradox...
Imagine what will happen if Poland claims the "Bavaria" name... It's exactly the same :)

It's an interesting discussion but unfortunately this is not the right place to continue...
