Games from Russia

Few might request VPN , few might be Region Free

I remember someone saying on SG forum that Witcher 2 and few (two or three) other titles won't work.

Is the same situation with US games?

Can't speak for all games, but the three I've been gifted so far by a Russian acquaintance (Alice: Madness Returns, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Deus EX: HR) seem to work perfectly fine.

I'm not aware of gifted games having regional restrictions. Only CD keys bought outside of Steam. I could be wrong though.

It depends on the game. Which game are you looking for?

i got cod mw3 russian cd key for 16$ and activated it with VPN myself

What game

Hey can i ask 1 question? My other topic got closed, so maybe someone here knows the answer. I was trying to use key in steam, but it got canceled because i can't activate it in my country. Does the key is still usable? If yes i will make giveaway, for those who live in US.

You're a lucky guy :D

in Soviet Russia game adds you!

There's a few games right now that won't allow you to play them outside of russian IP range. To check if the game is alright you need to check Steam CDR contents for "onlyallowrunin" key on subID you're interested in. You can view CDR contents with Phoenix's plugin.

Right now the only games hardlocked to russia (on ru subIDs) are witcher2, skyrim, ridgeracerunbounded and confrontation. There may be more but I don't know of any.
