I've heard there's a way to get this game, DOA Xtreme Venus Vacation on Steam if you use a VPN to say you're from singapore...

I was a big fan of DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball back in the day so I'd like to snag this title, but.... I'm worried if I do Steam will ban my account

I can't seem to find a straight answer on if this is safe or not. What do you say Lemmy?

People abusing that is also often brought up as a reason or at least excuse for publishers to bleed developing countries dry when it comes to pricing, ask me how I know :/

I feel so bad for countries that had to settle for what's known as "SlavJank", because back in the day the tax on imports was so high that doom cost you 5000 dollars. The ones that didn't have copyright laws at the time and thus could get bootlegs really easily had it lucky.

Btw, anyone ever hear of the Eastern European exclusive Monkey Island sequel "Donkey Island" ?
