I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on - lemm.ee

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?

Arent you not allowed to buy games if Steam thinks you’re somewhere you aren’t?

You’re also not allowed to cross the street outside of a crosswalk

I don’t know if you’re kidding, but that would be a very weird law.

It’s called jaywalking - illegal in Australian cities actually.

Illegal in the USA, too. It is a rarely enforced law.

This is so weird to me. In Belgium, if there is no crosswalk in 20meters, you can cross (and cars a supposed to stop to let you go).

What do you do if there is non ? You take your car to cross the street ? Or everything is well done and you have a crosswalk every few meters on every road ?

Oh, we don’t walk. We drive everywhere, even if our destination is in the same neighborhood.

In the US it’s only illegal if there is a crosswalk and you don’t use it. If there is no crosswalk, then it’s not jaywalking.
