The information suggests that game prices vary significantly across regions, being notably lower in developing countries. Using a VPN could theoretically allow access to discounted games from India while paying reduced prices in your home country. This practice raises legal concerns around fair trade and pricing regulations. The worst-case scenario involves potential violations of consumer protection laws or platform policies, which might lead to account suspension by the service provider. Valve has the authority to ban or terminate accounts that engage in such behavior.

Don't do this—Steam will remove your account instantly if caught. And don't forget about the tax issues if you're in the UK.

EA doesn't offer Ubisoft titles on Origin directly. Players can use VPNs to access these games, according to their support team, though this isn't officially confirmed.

Are you sure? Sharing a reference doesn’t seem logical given the context. Let me know if you’d like help finding the right place to post it.

Many states in the US exempt digital products from sales tax. Typically, if a company isn’t based in your state, you won’t be charged sales tax on their purchases.

G2A is the best option, and for an even lower price you can use a 3% discount code from a streamer.
