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?

So is it safe or not?

It's certainly against one of Valve's rules to use a VPN to access Steam. I've never heard of anyone getting banned for it though.

It might actually be unenforceable, I'm surprised they haven't quietly dropped it, but I think it's there so they can bust people for abusing a VPN to cheat the system (Buy games where the exchange rate is more favorable for an American gamer)

Yeah, I've always expected they reserve it for people mass buying games from other regions. Or at least some legal defence if someone complains about people playing games that aren't allowed in their region.
