Search this forum. Maybe they work or maybe not..like for example region locked keys (DI).

Most games should work, but wait for someone who's sure to answer.
You can just google for specific games, like "dead island amazon region lock".

Most of them will. Some people say Dead island will not, but I have it and it works ok, so... yeah.

He did. Keys may have come from russia and they can't be redeemed on other countries because of region locked crap.

OP is asking about Amazon keys for Steam, and if they can be activated and work worldwide. I said, "Most of them will. Some people say Dead island will not, but I have it and it works..."

Was I supposed to insert words Amazon, steam key and work just so you random readers would get the message without following the conversation?

Dead Island keys are restricted to NA when bought off Amazon, so either you're in North America or activated via VPN.

I've never used VPN in my life, nor would I want to try. It has to be magic, I guess.

Dead Island Upgrade Pack worked fine in Germany, but that might be because it was without the main game.

If you buy it on Amazon of your region, then it should work. Otherwise, why would they sell the game there?

They only sell keys to US addresses, so that doesn't make sense.

Make sure the game are not regional locked. Otherwise their keys even works in Sri Lanka :D Close to you :P.

I bought a lot of games on Amazon, and they all work perfectly.

Their region lock mostly means that you can't buy games if you're not American citizen, ie. you must have U.S. adress if you want to buy the game.
The key itself should work anywhere.

Not every game on Amazon works on Steam.

For example, Arma 2: Combined Assault was recently on sale on Amazon. It did not activate on Steam.

The best answer is, it depends on the game. Some games, Dead Island for instance, has region locks. Usually you're fine, but not always.

Also Mafia II and Civilization V Vanilla are region locked.

There is no such thing as a "us acc". You register normally as you always would (if you already did that, skip it) and when you buy the game, just type an address from USA.

After a few purchase, they will block the account until you verify your address with the phone number you give. Had all my accounts blocked. If you make purchases, use the key as soon as you can or you can't access them later if your account gets blocked.

All Steam keys purchased on Amazon work on Steam. It doesn't matter where the key was purchased from.

except for the ones that are region locked...like numerous people have already said.

If you buy keys for your region, meaning the region Amazon/Steam are allowed to sell you a key for, they will all work. The ones that are region locked work perfectly, assuming you bought a key for your region.

Compare this to buying a PS3 copy when you own an Xbox 360 and wondering why your game won't work.

If you are asking will the keys you get from Amazon work with steam. It will if it says steam in the requirement. If you are asking if a game is region locked, can you play it in steam if you buy from amazon, then yes you can.
