Is there any way to check is game region locked?
I find shop with keys from Russia, on every game they said that country of activation is Russia but i can activate that game on my Account and I am not from Russia.
Could I check it before buying is game has region locked keys?
I ask because I afroid buy some more expencive games and couldn't activate them

doesn't the store let you check if it will activate in your country? many stores do it, like Fanatical and Gamebillet, based on your IP

I don't think so.
IT is shop only in russian language and they write in each game description "country of activation: Russia".
But I live in Poland and I activate few keys from this shop

maybe the games you bought don't have region locks at all? some games are like that, you can buy anywhere and activate anywhere

There is NO reliable way to tell if key is region locked or not. You can check subid restrictions, as I've described here https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/oef08/guide-how-region-locks-work
BUT even if there is no restricted subids key still can be restricted.
This is very frustrating, but that's the way steam works - part of information is never revealed.

Check sensualshakti's topics, usually there are mentions for Humble games with region locks.

I think the only way is to get accounts from different regions, buy multiple keys from the shop and try them with each account. Then you will know the exact restriction of it
