Depending on the games, New Zealand, Norway and South Korea seem to have most regions beat.

Those checks are only for certain devs on nuuvem, most still work great with a VPN

Guy, Do you have list of those PP checked games ? Or threads or web or anything else :)

The discussion here mentions some but most have individual posts on Reddit of people checking them ex of one of those threads. There is no full list because devs are changing their opinion about it and the stock of nuuvem is changing as well

*edit: here is another good subreddit for the sale in general for multiple games
Linky-dinky-doo

As for vpns that you should use, stick to tunnelbear or flyvpn. Both work pretty good. I stick with flyvpn just because... I don't really know why. Just avoid Hola. Set your region to Brazil and enjoy the Brazilian R

I wouldn't say that most work with a VPN .. it's the opposite, most don't work.. only a few don't have that extra Paypal Check.

Okay, that took me a while to figure out-
you mean SEA-region-restricted, not region-locked?
As in, games you're not able to buy in SEA at all? :)

Just making sure we're on the same page :D

Region-locking makes sense, at least, prevents costly abuse.
Region-restriction is just.. icky. :X

NZ seems to have cheaper ROW gifts than the US, from what I've seen, but that's the only other ROW country I have friends in, I think :X

Not the UK :(

Actually, Dishonored or Skyrim are usually priced well, sometimes some Warner Brothers games as well but otherwise it's pretty shite.

New Zealand is the new low for the most part. Norway and Canada are also solid choices.

The cheapest ROW region varies from game to game. Could be Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Norway or even GB. You could figure out where the game is cheapest by checking its SteamDB page.

New Zealand and Norway are competing for this spot, Japan is only for Western publishers and, strangely, for a lot of indie games.
There are a few oddities here and there though. If you want a specific game, just hit up steamprices.com and add in all the ROW regions to see the current best price.
But I have to add one thing: region-restricted games cannot be activated in the banned regions, ever, no matter what version you try to add. If it is officially banned in that country, Steam will reject all attempts adding even ROW gifts/keys.
