I bought Mega Man X Dive Offline, really hyped for it, but then when I double checked my VPN, I realized it was set for the Netherlands… Not good, I thought I had it set for the US as per usual.

Now it still showed the price in USD, but now I’m paranoid, I put in a refund explaining the situation and promising I’d buy it with the VPN turned off this time…

How fucked am I?

    (assuming your home country is USA) You are allowed to purchase games from US websites while you travel. As long as the purchase is linked to your US payment method, with US residence address on the bill, it does not matter where I’m the world you connect from.

    You might raise suspicion if you bought something via NL VPN, using Dutch credit card and address. Otherwise you are all good.

    Does anyone know if its illegal for me to login to my friends account and buy the game for him because I live in a region that’s cheaper?
