Game isn't available in my country, one of a few I guess.
I also heard that amazon copy has to be activated with US VPN.
Does anyone knows if steam store versions from germany or russia also require vpn to activate?

Valve wrote "we can delete account for using VPN". But, there's no report of anyone getting his account killed for activating games, only buying from Russia using VPN was reported as ban-able offence.

Ofc I dont plan to risk with VPN im just asking since a few guys already posted on other forums that regular version of AC from amazon requires US VPN. Something like Dead Island GOTY that was on amazon. I gave up on amazon offer. Im asking about steam store versions, do they need VPN to activate?

So to conclude this. If you buy AC for yourself you need VPN but you dont need it if I for example pay my german friend to gift it to me?

As far as I know, steam-gifts of Batman AC Goty are region-free.

Only some wirred Russian Versions require a VPN to activate, mostly only AAA-Games that. Amazon would never ever sell Region-Locked Keys.

They already sold region locked keys. Dead Island GOTY was US-only. 'Caused a few steamtrades.com offers...
