I’ve heard there’s a way to get this game, DOA Xtreme Venus Vacation on Steam if you use a VPN to say you’re from singapore…

I was a big fan of DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball back in the day so I’d like to snag this title, but… I’m worried if I do Steam will ban my account

I can’t seem to find a straight answer on if this is safe or not. What do you say Lemmy?

If you’re already going through the trouble of using a VPN, there are definitely better methods of acquiring the game.

Gabe straight up said that it’s an issue of access, so if a game is region locked…

Update: I already got the game via VPN by clicking the install button on SteamDB, my steam account did not get banned or catch fire

Why would Valve ban you?

If you’re paranoid about this then just make a new account on a VM or fresh install of an OS - you’ll be in a VPN anyway, only other possibility would be if they were tracking the other accounts that had been logged in locally and associating them.

Well, because I’d be using a VPN to access a game in another market, isn’t that against the rules.

Is that one of Valve’s rules, or just one of the video game publisher’s rules?

It’s one of Valve’s rules. They’re actually pretty serious about it too.

Why not have someone from Singapore gift you the game?
