Recently got a VPN because I’ve become increasingly paranoid (It’s getting crazy out there), but… is it a bannable offense to use it while on Steam?

I’m finding mixed answers, and I wanna be safe, so I figured the Fediverse might know.

    I exclusively use a VPN with everything and have done so for years. If steam has an issue, they have yet to inform me lol.

    On a serious note tho, there is an issue if you use a VPN to access store prices for a country outside your own. Regional pricing means that some people game the system and Valve rightfully cares about that.

        You don’t have to, your regional price is linked to your account’s regional setting so that if you move you can legitimately change your region but VPN doesn’t affect it at all.
