Way to bypass Steam's new region change policy

[thechosenracer]

This question might be slightly different but it is nearly the same.

Does this method works on orig*in too ? (i wanted to preorder bf 2042 on my main)
-or do i have to make a new account just to be sure for not getting banned on orig*in main ger

I figured out that argentina is pretty cheap , india and brasil too.
The only country where i can go to the final buying screen is brasil and there they want a CPF Number in the final order.

I'am a bit afraid of getting a ban mail for using vpn


cheers

If you really wanna pre-order it, which I don't recommend because this is EA after all, they manage to always fuck up the games recently and insert too much politics into it, but whatever tickles your pickle. If you want to pre-order it, then try doing that with Epic Games Launcher. VPN works with that one (or it used to just recently for me), and you can get it there too. Still, I'd recommend you to wait for games to release to see how they are rather than wasting your money like that, but you do you.

Did the more recent update to this remove the ability to send gift cards from US accounts to other country accounts? I used to have zero issues doing this via the send through steam, but now it keeps saying "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

or is steam just having issues now? I've tried a few times now over the past few hours and it's the same issues. I did it at the end of Jun with zero issues so hoping steam is just having issues. That account could have been shadow banned though or something. I have no clue.

same i can't seem to do it as well and i did it a few weeks ago, so i'm not sure if there's another method or if steam patched this

It was patched. The only way to add funds to accounts now seems to be buying CSGO, Rust, TF2 etc skins from third party sites and then selling them on the steam market to get funds on your account or buying steam wallet codes from your accounts region from sites like eneba at a small mark up.

You can just change the current region, it usually works. However, if your steam still blocks the transition to another region, then try using a VPN or create a new account registered on the region through which you want to use the Steam trading platform

I use the transition from one region to another to buy games profitable. I recently bought FIFA 22 Cheap via the Indian region, although I live in Canada. I checked the site with regions and games where this game would be cheaper and then just changed my region. Fortunately, stream does not argue with me and calmly allows changing my region. I am very glad that in this way, it is possible to buy steam games cheaper.

The key here is where is your primary residence. Changing region is provided for those who spend time in more than one country.
