Awesome news for the swimming pool, this is probably the 'sport' I like the most.

A shame there are so much people in them sometimes :)

Happy cake day, mate!

Just for your information and for others who might read this. That seemingly dreadful notice "No cross region trading and gifting" doesn't mean a region lock. It means that if you have the game in your inventory as a gift item, you can't give it out of your country (whatever country you have set in Steam as your country), neither as giving the item in a trade, or sending it as a gift. You can't also buy it in the store as gift for someone outside of your country. That's all. If what you have is a key, that notice doesn't mean the key has a region lock at all. The key could have, or not, but that notice in particular usually means that specific sub has no region locks; as if it has region locks, that notice shouldn't appear.

Said that, happy cake... Wait, I have a dรฉja vรบ. It's a glitch in the Matrix!

Again something that looks dreadful but it's not so bad. Lack of all prices means that the sub is no longer sold. A key can be activated on a country without price set AFAIK. I see people asking friends to buy them a game because there's no price set for e.g. Australia.
But I'm not sure of that for a key, maybe someone else with better knowledge can confirm either way, make a thread about it and we'll get out of doubt. I wonder why we don't have a little FAQ thread about region restrictions and some of these infos and tricks.
And well, in case of doubt, it's better to be on the safe side, so yes you did well. Here, have a cookie ๐Ÿช

About the JMM72 super method mentioned in the starting post, do you really see the sub which the key would activate, or is it the sub which you already have?

The only two-and-a-half ways to know the sub a key will activate is:

  • Trying to activate yourself with one of several methods (SteamDB extension is great), but you risk activating the key. If the sub only has one game and you have it, it should say "product already activated" and the key will still be valid and unactivated; while SteamDB or whatever method you use will still tell you the sub. If the sub has more than one item, the key will activate, adding all the content to the library, even if you already have all that content. So, this method is only for specific cases and you must be careful.
  • If the key comes from a bundle, go to the SG thread of that bundle and see if people have shared which subs are activated in which regions, and you're in one of those regions.

You can also know if you know the exact content that the key will activate (a game, a game+ost bundle, a dlc pack), and in the SteamDB page of one of the items, or all of them, only appears one sub. But SteamDB is great, yet not perfect. It has subs indexed but with unknown content, and there are unindexed subs, which would render this third method unusable in some circumstances.

In this particular case, Coleypollockfilet mentioned the sub the key would activate, it was not me. So ask him how does he know why it's that sub.

Nope, but I was lost as from where the person asking was taking the "starting post". Now I guess you linked to this person that other comment. I was just confused.

I put all these information bits in good faith for anyone to see, anyone feel free to share with others, either copy-pasting, or linking to a comment. I like to help in general. Or in major, sergeant, rear admiral, private Ryan or colonel Mustard in the kitchen with the candelabra.

It is the sub of the key. Also there is the SteamDB browser extension, which automatically shows you the sub and links to it when redeeming a key on https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey. Easier to use than the F12 method.

I can confirm what the others said: your sub is free of region restrictions and the key can be activated anywhere and everywhere, since the according app also has no restrictions. The "No cross region trading and gifting" is only related to old inventory gifts and a lack of price(s) only affects buying or gifting it directly in the Steam store.

So your sub is simply not being sold directly in the Steam store (and has never been, if you look at the price history graph for any of the currencies) and the other sub you mentioned is not being sold directly in the Steam store in Russia (or any region paying in Ruble) and can also not be gifted via Steam store to accounts in that region/using that currency. Key redemptions are not affected by that at all.

Most people are better safe than sorry. And the subject matter is convoluted and complex. It's understandable. :)
