I'm an American studying abroad (and a broad [sorry, somebody would have said it eventually!!]) in Thailand. My friend gave me a Grand Theft Auto Complete (US) key, but I cannot add it to my Steam account while in Thailand (says "not available in this country").

Is there any way I can add it? Not sure if I will be able to download here or not, but I'd like it in my account. Having someone add it to my account at home is not an option. Any suggestions?

Here's an Eryi's Action DESURA key: 1A8B2-C51B6-CEDD5-44520 and I'll add a couple more DESURA keys later, don't want them ninja'd by the same user :/

SG Steam GA coming soon (Sorry, it won't be GTA Complete)

EDIT: <p><a href="http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Ih1Ff">First clicky, hope it works</a> .</p>

EDIT 2: Haha, guess not!!

EDIT 3: Thanks Zomby2D!!

You should contact Steam support and explain the issue before activating with VPN or doing anything dumb. They should be able to help.

It does... Except in that fuckin' country named England. When you make an account, you digitally "sign" the ToS/EULA, so steam CAN do thinks to us, if they want. Except... In that fuckin' UK.

If Valve wanted, they could block or even delete your account. You could go to court and who knows, you might even win, but unless you make new account you won't be able to play on Steam for a year(s).

By the time Steam support responds to him, he will be back in the US

IF you bought games in US before you might have luck with Steam Support. You'd need to write to them about your situation and they might manually edit your account to be still US.

But you'd lose access to Thailand games and prices (no idea if they are better or not). But when you go back you'll lose any region-locked games anyway :)

Actually, every game I've purchased on the Steam TH store has been the same price as the US store. Maybe I won't lose access to anything (I hope). Could be an option :)

I don't know about US steam acc. use in Thailand. But fot Thai ppl who live here can buy those game from amazon and activated those game that had region blocked like Sid Meier's Pirate , GTA Series without problem and no VPN related.

The only region blocked games I tried to add were L.A.Noire (successful) & GTA Complete (unsuccessful).
Now I want to purchase Dark Souls™ but not sure if it will work :/

You could also wait to visit back home and redeem the key then. It's not like there's an expiration date on a Steam key.

Also [text][]()(url) for clickies.

Yeah, but I was hoping I would be able to play it, that only the adding of the key was prevented.
