trying to bypass this stupid region lock to activate a Russia region key for Three Kingdoms that someone gave to me for free. apparently doing it via VPN doesnt work?

    You could try making a new Russian steam account then cashing the key there and using steam share, which allows you to share games between accounts on the same computer.

      That's interesting, I might try that out. I guess it goes without saying that I'd have to be using the VPN every time I want to access the Russian account.

        So depending on the game, Steam might require you to be using a VPN but the game server might not care. I was playing a Hong Kong-exclusive gacha for a while and I only needed the VPN during initial account setup.
