Just took a look for education purposes :) I didn't find any guide on Kinguin about changing the language back to English, but what I did see is that you need a VPN to play this game.

I just want to remind people that Steam have banned entire accounts for using VPNs.

Saving money is one thing, but nVidiaGamer is encouraging you to take risks with your entire Steam account. I would be very wary about purchasing a game which requires a VPN to play.

You dont need a VPN to play the game at all, you need to use the free VPN to activate it which is simple, but as always whatever you think fox. The tutorial is there, try looking abit harder.

I'm just going by what Kinguin themselves have written on the game's page.

http://www.kinguin.net/category/13977/the-walking-dead-season-2-ru-vpn-activated-steam-gift/

This is the Russian version of the game and VPN service is required to activate and to play the game.

"and to play"

Using a VPN to activate a game can result in your Steam account being disabled.

What you are suggesting is that people risk their Steam account to play a Russian game. There is no way around this.

Take risks with your own account, but at least tell people about the risks if you want them to follow you.

Well you may be fine, but there are accounts of people who were banned for "buying masses of Russian games with VPNs".

I'd say it's definitely a /risk/, and one that should be pointed out.

Once someone knows it's a risk, they can make their own decision. But there is anecdotal evidence from Reddit and other places, that if you buy loads of Russian region-locked games with a VPN, you /risk/ having your Steam account disabled.

That's all.
 
I have, and the last couple have been ones that have interested me. But it's a gamble. All we know about the upcoming one is that it has Alien Isolation. It could be that you have every other game in the bundle, or they might be ones that don't interest you. Or it could be the best deal ever. We'll find out later, but by the time it's announced, you can no longer buy that one.

edit. Last one I was really pleased to get Talos Principal and Grim Fandango, as I'd been tempted by them in the Steam winter sale. Turns out I don't have the patience for Talos Principal. :p I'll have to give it another go sometime.
