dont start flooding our servers either, we don't need whatever you did to EU servers to happen here too, stick to your own region, and VPNs are bannable so good luck, because amazon bans often for a lot less
Now they could decide to ban anyone using a VPN, my friend ran into this when using Hulu or someone to access local TV stations, they ban VPN use as it prevents them from properly compensating the correct stations, but it's pretty rare otherwise.
Guy in our guild wasn't able to create a US account via his AU VPN, apparently Steam is wise to such tricks, so he had a US based friend help him open it, but was then able to connect through his VPN afterwards.
Might be an issue if he had to pay for something but he probably could open an account with an online bank of some sort to circumvent.

I used to gamble a lot and I always had a large sum of money in my wallet on Pokerstars. Over the years they emailed me a few times and asked me why am I using a VPN and each time I responded it is none of their business and our conversation ended up right there without any problems. Although I was using a UK bank account, so, legally, they really had no problem.
Another time Upwork suspended my account for using a VPN, which sort of resulted in blocking the payment of 8 employees of mine. I called them and told them it is none of their business and if they won't restore my account immediately then I will be forced to take legal action. They fixed my account while I was still nagging.
Banks are very different though. They suspend your account whenever they want as a "security measure" to "protect you" and all that bullshit. HSBC bank once called me and asked me to login without VPN so they can confirm my location. I told them I don't want to. I really had no reason besides it is really no one's business nor right to ask me that. So they suspended my internet banking as a "security measure" blah blah and told me to restore it via their secure protocol or some crap. I just called support and played dumb and got it fixed. Again, that has happened only once in like 20 years or something. And I am ALWAYS using a VPN no matter what.
I can't recall a gaming company ever banned me for using a VPN, or even cared when I used one. In fact, I usually used a VPN to login, then just disconnect it. Never got banned, or warned, or anything. I can't recall all the games obviously but SWTOR, ESO, Black Desert, FFXIV are the top of my head.
Games can really suspend your account for whatever reason. In my experience they really don't care that much to go out of their way and suspend their customers. I don't know, maybe I was just lucky.

My guess is both Steam and Amazon have to show they made reasonable attempts to hinder people from regions not under their contract with Smilegate in order to avoid being sued for extra money.

Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
