You don't need a VPN to play, just to activate it. As far as I know it will be in English, but there is a chance that you can get banned for doing this. Never actually heard of anyone getting banned for it, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.

Accounts do get locked for doing that.

 

Don't know if there is a limit to the number of times you can do it before Valve locks your account but they will do it.

 

 

Personally all these G2A posts by new members is starting to look like Stealth Spam.

Why would you get banned?

Steam Subscriber Agreement has stuff about proxies and vpns and buying things with them.

Accounts do get locked for doing that.

Don't know if there is a limit to the number of times you can do it before Valve locks your account but they will do it.

Should I do it or not?

For one measly game I think they wouldn't care. As soon as near half your library consists of you connecting up with a different countries IP every time is when in my opinion they'll start to notice and take action.

Setup: i5 4670k @ 4.2 Ghz, Corsair H100i Cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB Ram @ 1600 Mhz, MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard, Corsair GS700 2013 edition PSU, MSI GTX 770 Lightning, Samsung EVO 120 SSD + 2TB&1TB Seagate Barracudas, BenQ XL2411T Monitor, Sennheiser HD 598 Headphones + AntLion ModMic 4.0

If it's the first one you're doing it for you will be fine.

Are you SERIOUSLY sure? I really dont want to even risk getting my account banned.

 

Chances are the first one will go fine, but there is likely a trigger that locks the account.

 

It's against the Steam agreement you signed to use VPN's to bypass region restrictions and get cheaper games.

No! Your entire account will be banned. Valve do not mess around when it comes to circumventing the region lock.

 

Ask yourself this: is it worth risking your entire games catalog?
