    Ban for buying cells through Argentina method?

    Are there any cases of people getting banned? Would your steam account get banned or just DBD perma ban?

    I've been doing it aswell and haven't been banned. Other people have been using the Argentina method for 4 or even more years and haven't been banned.

    The worst thing is steam to lock your account, that's it (no ban from dbd)

    Means you cant play on steam and access it at all right? If thats true it seems even worse than DBD ban.

    I believe they just won't allow you to make purchases for 3 months. I've actually never even heard of a TERMINATED steam account. They just give out locks based off of what you did.

    Well that would kinda suck since i dont actually own DBD i steam share it but ty for the response, 3 months sounds much better than termination which is what i heard from some people.

    Steam doesn't care about people switching regions, never heard any ban case (people keep doing it for years)

    If steam locks your account, it means you will basically lose everything. This is very very very unlikely to happen since i have never heard anyone getting banned/account locked for using vpn methods to get cheaper games, i have been using argentina method for +2 years and its safe. and as what other people are saying, steam doesnt really care since they are still getting money for selling shit.

    Hmm i searched YT videos and sorted by new and every comment which is less than 24 hrs old is complaining about the same error and they cant do it. So either it got patched or theyre just doing it wrong, either way im not swapping from Argentina back just in case its fixed.
