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?
Wut? Why would you be fucked? I buy games with my VPN on all the time
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.
Also in US, and I suspect many other countries
I don’t know if something that oppressive is going to be true in many countries.
Maybe only in oppressive countries like China and the US, and a few others.
It varies state to state but in my experience it’s a single digit dollar amount fine and that’s it. Only in places that have adequate crosswalks everywhere and rarely enforced unless there’s been chronic pedestrian issues. In US, pedestrians always have right of way. Jaywalking laws are there as a deterrent to protect pedestrians as much as drivers. About the only place I’ve seen jaywalking laws enforced are university campuses. You’ve got throngs of young adults, on their own for the first time, and walking around everywhere in busy urban environments
