I went to Russia to visit my family there, an also grabbed a couple of games, the Orange Box, and the Half-life Anthology. I managed to register the Orange Box there, but I got the Half-Life Anthology at the last second, and when I tried to register in America, I said that I can’t “Register it in my region.” If anyone knows what to do, please help.
You bought the Steam versions or CD versions?
I bought the CD version, but it’s legal, as I also bought and registered the Orange Box from the same store.
Only works in Russia, I guess…
Contact steam support via Email
I didn’t think you could still get the retail version…
What country are you in now? Maybe it’s to do with regional registration codes.
I am in America right now.
It doesn’t work because in Soviet Russia, games REGISTERS YOU!
(must resist urge to do a “Soviet Russia” joke.)[/SIZE]
God damn it!
Very funny 
I would give my account details and the CD key to someone in Russia, but I don’t really trust anyone, so should I just use steam support, or should I try to find another way?
Connect via proxy to a russian server, and go from there.
How would I do that?
Just contact Steam support… you might want to also try asking on Steamforums in the Half-Life section.
I tried contacting steam support, but they just said I need to contact the seller for a refund, and I can’t exactly do that. Does anyone here know how to connect to a proxy server?
Steam usually goes around any proxy and connects directly
You need a good VPN tunnel.
What’s a VPN tunnel?
Nevermind, steam doesn’t support proxies. There are ways to enable it, but kind of frowned upon.
I guess you could make a virtual machine that by default connects to a proxy, that way you aren’t modifying steam, but I’m sure there are easier ways.
Like a VPN tunnel.
Just google for a free VPN. If one doesn’t work try the next one.
Anyway I don’t recommend buying games legally in a country like Russia, my friend buys alot of games there and most of them have been downloaded illegally, cracked, badly translated and repackaged.
Thanks for all the help everyone, I decided to just ask my cousin to do.
