Bought a RU Steam gift, now can't activate it

Well, you're from Poland and it looks to me like you're trying to cheat Steam and it doesn't let you.

Seems fine to me.

isn't all that is against steam rules?
Steam have tightened up rules abt region locked games.
finding some trader who will trade it for ROW copy is your best bet.

facepalm

Awesome job, now next time you won't be doing this anymore ^^

Choke up your loss :D

Do you know that steam bans for using VPN, isn't it ?

Is it region-exclusive?
If not, then why the hell would you use a Russian VPN?
If yes, why would you do that anyway....?
Just stop trying to use HAX, HAXor.

ask steam support :D

Stop buying from keyshops, use proper stores or proper resellers and your won't have problem next time. Saving few bucks on a game and risking geting ban from Valve for using vpn is not worth it IMO

congrats?

go on vacation to your neighbors -Belarus or Ukraine and activate it there :P

Today I bought a game from G2A
RU steam gift, I'm from Poland

Well, what did you expect?

Even if you could find a way to activate it you would need a Russian IP to play it,as it is also play locked now to there region it is meant for,because of people like you who still tried to buy it cheaper and activate it.

Your fault for buying a locked game,next time check before you buy something.

As far as showing a Russian IP i am willing to bet that steam has blocked that ip seeing how it is tied to VPN and i also assume your using a free service so you do not get a unique IP you get a shared one in most cases so it is easy to block.

You should of had a V-8 before buying games,this is your V-8 moment.Learn from it and try trade it for a row copy or any other game you may want that you can actually play.

Steam changed it's system a while ago. What IP you log from doesn't matter anymore. Your account is bind to country you registered it from, so if you log in from russian IP, brazillian IP or US IP it will still remain Polish account, and on Polish account you cannot activate other regions gifts.

If i were you i would contact Steam to know wtf is going on!!

never do VPN, last time i forgot to turn off my VPN, i get banned immediately, that was the worst time of my life. missed good event.

Just move to Russia, create there a new account on Steam and voila ;) You can now activate Your new game.

Never do that again. The best things you can do with it are to either try to trade it or do a region locked giveaway here.

get rekt

Why would you do that nowadays? Region locks now ask VPN not only during activations but you need VPN to actually start the game.
Despite the fact that is against SSA.

VPN's (many) aren't fool proof. I use VPN's every single day because I live in China. Sometimes I connect to some random country, and can still see at the bottom of my Google search results "your current location is" with my exact real town listed on it. Valve knows you're using a VPN this time and won't acivate the game.

not so leet i guess :P
sorry but you failed hard, try a proper vpn instead of using a crappy free one
edit// also and again the same story over and over....european citizens arent affected by valves tos, its not legal in the EU
i am still able to activate products even tho the system "knows" my real position, which is bullshit btw

Steam restricted thos type of activation. No more vpn activation games. :P
There was some post about this new update, try to find it.

Working as intended, unless you're from Russia, then write to support.

I think they recently made that the account is tied to the region "forever" (only the support can change this). You can check that here: https://store.steampowered.com/account/ (on the right). But I may be wrong.

Man. If you want the game even cheaper just pirate it. It's the same thing. They blocked it for a reason.

Give it away ...
