Is my account at risk? a question about russian gifts.

Closed

sometime ago i received a gift for a russian copy of a game (Valiant Hearts: The Great War). said game wasn't region locked at the time, so i activated it without any issue, but a day later the game became region locked on the store page (the copy on my library it still works).
my question is: am i at risk of being banned or losing my account because of this game? i'm really worried about that.

If you activate the gift before Steam put region lock then it shouldn't be a problem.

I suppose no, after all it was a not locked game when you activated it.

thanks for answering guys, i was worried because the subscription has a (RU) tag in it and it wasn't region locked until a day after i activated.

I doubt it. There was no lock when you activated it, so you weren't bypassing anything at the time (like by using a VPN or something else Valve frowns on) . I won a copy off GameMiner, activated it like a normal gift before the lock, and have been playing it right along with no issues.
