Not really possible anymore, you'll be put back to your OG region at some point. Only thing that works is to create a separate account and family share it, but tbh, might as well pirate it at that point.

Well it is still possible, just risky. If you get banned you lose access to buying/activating new games and online gaming on Steam servers iirc, plus some other stuff. You still can download and play the games you had before.

In Europe I'd choose the Ukrainian store TBH. It's more believable, and you can still buy UAH gift cards.

Also: it's no longer possible to Family share accounts from different countries. Definitely does not work on Argentinian accounts, maybe it works between regions with the same prices.

Missed that they also patched that out with the new family sharing. Just sail the high seas then. It was fun while it lasted. I've been to Erdoganmen, then Chainsawmen, and then tried Ukraine but Steam keeps putting me back to original country. I've given up.

Old accounts should still work until you trip a flag. Which is why TF2 keys are probably the safest , though not infallible.

Kaldaien - maker of the special k tool (tools that injects into games to change textures, give better performance etc) deletes his 20 years old steam account.

He is recommending ubisoft+, xbox gamepass, epicgamestore and gog instead.
Why you ask?
Because steam breaks dual sense compatibility, bumps up requirements of old games that were originally win 98 games etc.

I mean, some of what he says is fine, and gog has always been much better than steam for older games.

I don't know what to say about compatibility with win98 games... You're not running win98 anyway at this point, I don't understand what he means by that.

These are some quotes about an analyst who commented on steam as a platform.
Imo he is totally right and this is exactly another reason why games shouldn't get a price bump. People use inflation as an excuse for digital goods that ppl buy and not even consume.

Quote:
"If Steam shoppers were rational and only bought games they were going to play, we would sell a lot fewer games," says Zukowski. "Half this industry would be gone.


Quote:
"Knowing Steam players are hoarders explains why you give [Valve] that 30%: you get access to a bunch of drunken sailors who spend money irresponsibly."


Quote:
"More than likely the person buying your game is not going to play it."

Lol you don't own games on Steam and you have no rights to them so... buy supscription based access to other malware where you don't own game, the game can disappear any moment, you have restricted modding capabilites and limited library.

And this is new how? It's the same as it was in 2004 when Steam launched.

Coomer game bloodbath going on on steam:
https://steamdb.info/history/events/

https://automaton-media.com/en/news/steam-rules-updated-to-prohibit-content-that-violates-rules-set-forth-by-payment-processors-and-banks/
Apparently Mastercard and Visa forced steam to bend the knee and purge some of the more spicy content.

Of course it is a mistake just like any censorship pointed in the direction has been in the past.
But the gaming media is just now suddenly jumping on the anti-censorship bandwagon, the sole reason being that they see their precious queer and LGBTQ+ perversions coming in the crosshairs.
Previously censorship was just fine and necessary as long as it targeted anything straight males like.
Gaming sites like EG publish articles about problematic sex games that perpetuate misogyny on Steam a few weeks ago and demand them to be removed. The companies read it, start to crack down and now the journos back-paddle in panic because it may affect LGBTQ representation...classic self-own.
