I've heard about the below methods, but really I would like a bit of advice about what the best method would be.
Method 1
- 1) Purchase or use a VPN to change my IP address for Steam.
2) If for example I change my country to the US, I think Steam’s Store settings would change, and Shenmue would be viewable in the store.
3) Once it’s visible then I should be able to purchase it with a credit card.
4) Then remove the US IP VPN settings and it should be in my game library.
- 1) Find an official online store that sells cd keys for Steam.
2) Register cd Key in Steam (might need to change IP address with VPN, but not sure.
3) If this doesn't work, I can try to add the cd key as a gift, I think.
I think that Steam has the right to ban a game not released in the country your playing it in, so for anybody else who’s only way to play Shenmue on the PC is via this method, please keep in mind that the game might be deleted from your account.
