RU/CIS and GLOBAL games?

[-Paint-]

I buy all my games off of G2A, and for some reason all the GLOBAL games are more expensive than the RU/CIS games. What's the difference anyway?

RU/CIS can only be activated in Russia (And somewhere else maybe?). Theyre cheaper because of Russia's economy, which is also why theyre region locked. Global games can be activated anywhere

Rrrgh this makes me cringe.

I wonder about that as well, after all everybody knows how great quality the russian games are.

Use a VPN to activate it. I've done it before.

Not worth it. Iirc if steam notices you doing it (or at least notices you a few times) you get your account locked

Star wars battlefront preorder is £10, which is like $15 more expensive on global than it is on ru/cis. Its £25 for ru/cis and £35 for global. I guess I still save money.

Done it a few times
1 time I got like stuff was region locked (after activation) and I asked them to remove the game to buy a copy from steam (I even admitted I used a VPN) and my steam account isn't locked.

Yep
g2a in general is against steam TOS
But they won't really know unless you try to do stuff like that

not everyone will be lucky
probably the only reason you didn't because you were asking them to remove the copy so you can give them money

Is buying the GLOBAL version still worth it or should I wait? I mean, I do save £20.
