Tried it now.. bought some games (it's silly cheap, 1/3 of the sale, if not even lower), cancelled the VPN.

This last part you wrote is not correct unfortunately. When i now don't use the VPN it will tell me i have to change the store, i'm not allowed to use Argentina.

...was i supposed to transfer money to the steam account first (is this possible?) i just changed my credit card details, not sure if that's what you do or if it's risky.. lol, would be great to get caught doing this to save a few bucks Rolling Eyes Laughing

yeah, if its possible to send money to someones Steam account (nothing i've used or looked into), then that's obviously way more safe.. can you do that? gift someone money? otherwise it wouldnt really work, or well, you would need two different credit cards..

but yes, if gifting money works then ; send money to the Argentinian steam account, buy games, gift games back. profit. a bit late now but i would recommend that if someone else want to try this... it was dumb to risk this, maybe im paranoid but..

Hmm... that is strange. Did you actually change your store country successfully? Also you need to provide Address in your store country when you complete your purchase. Maybe this is your problem.

Not odd, "normal". Steam for some reason partially logs you out sometimes. Games work and download, but you can't access your account details, store goes back to local currency, stuff like that.

Apparently when team wins the daily race 300 random users from that team will get the first game in their wishlist for free (actually only games that a included in the Grand Prix games). Which will now never happen for me because I chose Tortoise and fucking Reddit boosted the stupid Corgi. I don't know if you can change teams for the next day.

EDIT: "Users may not change teams."
Well, fuck you, Reddit!

I think spending money only lets you claim more points. Every $1 gives you 121 points increase. So let's say you spend $10, you will get 1210 to claim into tokens that you use to boost your team. And those points are earned from doing achievements for the games included in the Grand Prix. Even already done achievements count. I had like 16k points from Terraria but could only claim 100 and the others were gone...

Oh man. Try contacting the customer support. If not anything you will at least make their day. Laughing

I think you can still refund it if you give them explanation. Though I have heard Steam sometimes can give you the difference in your Wallet if you kindly ask the Customer Support.

Not sure where you're from, but if you're in EU you're entitled for the money difference back within 7 days.

Just start the "refund" process. They will credit the difference to you. I refunded a game that was three weeks old, but had 2 minutes of playtime. The website says it usually will not go through, but all of these requests (I imagine) are manually processed so just give it a whirl, especially with such a deep change in price.
