You can now only change the country associated with your Steam account once every three months, as SteamDB notes. That’ll be a pain if you actually are changing countries more than quarterly, but I can’t imagine that’ll be an issue for too many of you out there.
Either way, you’ll still need to verify each country switch by making a purchase with a payment method from that country. That’s another VPN-fighting measure that Valve put into place a year ago. VPN usage is already against Steam’s terms of service, so Valve is liable to ban anybody exploiting regional pricing – but it’s certainly easier if they’re able to stop you from trying it in the first place.
If you’re looking for some Valve-approved cheap Steam games, the Steam Summer Sale 2021 is less than 24 hours away. There are plenty of free Steam games to play, too, if your gaming budget is especially limited.
