Removed Games and Where to Find Them

Amazon can be quite a hit or miss depending on the game, especially those who used GFWL. But another source is always a welcome one.

Really useful, thank you. I didn't list HRK because I had two purchases with them and both had problems. Will add a note though.

ps I don't live in the US, I did see it on Amazon US in cd-rom form but they won't deliver to my country. Ideally I'd like a Steam key anyway.

Try here, it´s expensive (10€), but...

Thanks! I saw a couple threads about some of those games and thought why not place them all and a discussion about removed games in a single topic? Seems to be working so far.

Using a VPN to bypass regional restrictions or pricing restrictions is a violation of the SSA and can result in a permanent account suspension

"You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account." Steam Subscriber Agreement

can you get banned for using vpn to activate a key ?

Yes, you can. It's a violation of Steam TOS. The real question is, will you? I have seen people using it for 2, 3 years now and with popular games (Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 7) and I never saw someone who actually got banned for it. Fallout 4 was a popular case of VPN manipulation to access the game earlier who also ended in mostly people going unbanned.

My advice is, feel free to activate a russian game now and then, but don't do it frequently, that's how I and a couple of people that I know go.

Suggestion:
Don't use it while playing, because you risk getting noticed. Instead wait 90 days after activation until the IP lock is gone.
Don't use it to buy for regional lower prices in the Steam store.
If at all, use it for activations (if you can't get it otherwise). Using browser instead of client in this case might also help, since there are more reasons to use VPN within a browser and Valve may not punish it directly if noticed.

Depends. If you're living in the EU - no. EU law scritly prohibits Valve's ToS so they won't do anything. As a German, I had to activate lots of keys to get uncensored games and thus far - after 4k+ games - nothing ever happened.

Added it along with a couple of extra games I had forgotten, thank you.

Do you need VPN to activate it from outside Russia?

The problem also is that I never see it at 75%, always is with base price >_<

Those have been out of the market for quite sometime now. You better bet would be reaching to a trader on SteamTrades but don't expect any fair or common price for those two games.

Seems that you got this package then, lucky!

Seems like it. I tried it with Prototype 2, it's running just fine for me now (although I had no time to play it - screengrab).

I have another game that I will use to confirm it in some weeks from now (CiV BE Asia).

I swore I heard it was 3 months from somewhere...guess I'll be seeing you in April then, spidey man ಥ_ಥ

I though about adding them but I decided not to and keep a rule that games above $12 won't be added. After all, reasonable prices are a must here.
