Being absolutely fuming that it’s only available in North America, I decided to use a parcel forwarding service to get it in the UK. However, going to the purchase page simply says “Not available in your country”. Is there any way I can change my Steam account region so it will at least let me make the purchase? Also, does anyone have any parcel forwarding service recommendations?

    You can theoretically use VPN and create a new account. Payment via gift cards. Though note that there is a risk involved, as VPN is forbidden by Valve TOS. Avoid that the new account gets associated in any way with your main account.

      I tried to make a new account while a VPN was active and it told me to disable my VPN.

        Make sure that your browser cookies are cleared or to use a different browser, or else Valve will recognize that you changed region.

        Also don’t use free VPNs, they can often be detected by Valve. Rather, use free trials of premium VPNs.
