KiNgBrAdLeY7: Most people at Steam, befriend Russians or Brazilians (best prices hands down) and exchange gift codes, or something. I myself would advice that route.

joppo: If you're suggesting doing this on Gog, don't bother. Gift codes cost the normal price instead of the slashed prices for me, exactly to keep people from abusing these codes to get prices lower than they would regularly pay.

Well, technically there's still potential for abuse for someone from a country that pays higher than US prices, but there is no need to involve a brazilian or a russian for that. An american will pay just the same value.

If I'm not mistaken Steam faces the same problem with a different solution. As far as I know Steam keys are regionally restricted.
Thanks for clarifying. I 'm more than positive though, that on steam, they easily pull that off, somehow.

I suppose they do do. But I have no more insight about it and no motivation to seek to learn the details.

Also applications are getting smarter, too. Safari can drill into the VPN tunnel and determine local parameters now.
