Hello,
Well steam is very popular online portal through which you can play multiplayer games online. But there are few games which are Region Lock. Steam Region lock means that
game/content is not available in particular region. There are many reasons for Region Block like particular games are available in some region in less price, or maybe the developer don't want to give access to the game world wide.
game/content is not available in particular region. There are many reasons for Region Block like particular games are available in some region in less price, or maybe the developer don't want to give access to the game world wide.
There are three types in Steam Region Lock:
- The game which can only purchased by user in certain region and can be played within region only.
- The game which can purchased by user in certain region but after purchase you can play game even if you are outside the region.
- The game which don't have region block any can be played from anywhere.
Well, there are many people who try to access this kind of region lock games illegally with the help of VPN or Proxy. This VPN/ Proxy helps to change your ip as per region without leaving region. This kind of trick is used to get region lock game/content. Also many people using VPN/ Proxy for purchasing steam games at low rate and then requesting for refund. Such kind of use of VPN/ Proxy software are not allowed as per Steam Rules "You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, we may terminate your access to your Account." you can check Steam Rules. If anyone found doing this his account get banned/terminated permanently (if your account get banned you lose everything from your account games/content)!!!
How to access Region Locked Steam Game Page?
(Note: Log out Steam account from Browser before you try this! Otherwise this will not work)Lets take example of Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies .If you can access this page then this game is not locked for you. But if you are getting message like this page then you are in one of that region where this game is Locked.

How this Steam Locked Page Unlocked???
There nothing related with hacking. It just simple trick where i made some changes in URL and then i got access to Region Locked Steam Game page.
Like this : http://store.steampowered.com/app/273110/?cc=uk (This is the part where you access that page as UK Region.)
Pretty simple?? hhu?? But as i said before this is just method of accessing Region Lock Steam Game Page, This is not any kind of hacking...
How do i get Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies game into my Steam Account???
If you are not from Region Lock zone then its simple but if you are in Region Lock zone then this is difficult to put this game in steam account. Because if you Login in Steam through browser and visit this http://store.steampowered.com/app/273110/?cc=uk link then it display you Region Lock Message. Then what to do???
I have no idea about Free to Play Region Lock games like Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies, this Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies is free to play game but it locked for many countries. Some people got access to this game through VPN/ proxy software, this game is comes under 2nd type of Steam Region Lock as shown above. Where it was as "The Game which can purchased by user in certain region but after purchase can play game even if you are outside of the region". This is what other player do with Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies game, people use VPN/ Proxy software to add this game to Steam Library. Once this done then people no longer need this VPN/ Proxy software, then you can play this game from any region without any problem. This trick is working with free to play games. Well saw many people doing this to play this game but i recommend you to try to contact with developer where they can also give you access Legally in this Free to play game, otherwise Good Luck!
