I pre-purchased ONE PIECE PIRATE WARRIORS 3 Gold Edition (https://steamdb.info/sub/70504/) and I don't know whether it's region locked or not.

In my account detail, well the subscription are shown as ROW like ordinary one.

Is the game that has region lock for play are partial or everything?

It would say "This package can only be run in specified countries" if it was locked for play. So if you plan to move or used vpn to activate you should be fine. Unless I missed something of course or something changes down the line.

What I was wondering is every games in steamdb.info without "This package can only be run in specified countries" tags also have region lock to run. If you're true, than I don't worry about running those games with VPN. Thank you.

I haven't really kept up with it since the new "every game is region locked now" update so maybe I'm wrong but I think a while ago I read that it was only enforced on trading.

hope so.. 60 bucks for one game, it's too expensive for me

If it's gonna get region locked, maybe I'll not use those method never again.

For region locks you can see steamdb (a lot of games have no lock of any kind), but every GIFT you buy is region locked and can be activated in specific regions only.

But some of them? are not accurate. They said that cross region trading or gifting is disabled but I successfully gifted it to my inventory.

Every such gift can only be redeemed by an account from that region. You can even give this restricted gift to any other acc but can't redeem...

Going by the title of the topic this might be useful: if you purchase from the Steam Store as a gift and from a restricted region (like South America or RUS+CIS) then that gift can only be redeemed by an account from that region. It warns you before you complete a purchase if that is the case. The gift can still be sent or traded however. Now if what you purchased is a key for the sub you linked to then it doesn't seem to have any restrictions regarding activation or play AFAIK.
