Do we even have INR Steam cards?

Yes available in Gamersgift

You can't add $ steam cards to your account, won't affect most for sure.

Yeah that's what I understood. Not sure why @pkkumarcool calls it bad news. I don't think there is any advantage of adding $ cards unless someone is selling is for way cheaper than the actual card value which I highly doubt it. Plus, if the policy change is giving a hard blow to all the scammers out there, it is good.

Yes boss. These are the 3 official Steam resellers for gift cards in India.

• Gamers Gift
• Digistore
• Steam Wallet by NODWIN on Amazon

Pro tip: Use bank offers or other offers on Amazon to buy wallet codes at reduced prices.

Well, I've never bought one so I don't know.

Steam's new policy change to punish vpn users that change the country to buy from cheaper regions. If I purchase games from another region with my card I need to pay currency conversion charges but If I use a steam gift card steam automatically convert to target country's currency without any charge

It's not exactly a new policy to be honest. It has been on the Terms of Usage for atleast half a decade now and some people have lost access to their accounts.

Maybe epic games store are finally starting to affect the numbers on Steam with all their exclusives and such.

Most probably. One might say its loosing steam. Even though steam is clearly the better launcher, epic store's freebies are making users boil away to being less epic.

Available for ₹63 for the first month, that's new. I think EA play was available for months now on steam.

You would have to use a VPN in either case. For accepting gifts, VPN + your own Steam store as USA.

But using VPN will get the user banned right ?

IIRC even using a VPN you won't be able to access store front of another country unless you change the country of your steam account.

Yeah that too. Unless you're already in that country store you can't do it even with vpn.
