I bought Mega Man X Dive Offline, really hyped for it, but then when I double checked my VPN, I realized it was set for the Netherlands… Not good, I thought I had it set for the US as per usual.

Now it still showed the price in USD, but now I’m paranoid, I put in a refund explaining the situation and promising I’d buy it with the VPN turned off this time…

How fucked am I?

      Arent you not allowed to buy games if Steam thinks you’re somewhere you aren’t?

        The reason you set a steam shop location. If it’s longer term it may be beneficial to change the region but usually you can let it be whereever you want.

        I’ve never heard of that. Pretty sure even if they cared about that for some reason, there would be nothing they could do about it. What are they gonna do, take you to court? They can’t prove you weren’t in the Netherlands.
