I have got some CS items that I can turn into monies in my Steam wallet that I again could turn into a Steam Deck. The only problem is that I live in Norway and therefore can not.

I am tempted to switch my location to Sweden and order it to an address there since I live quite close, but I am wondering if this would break TOS or in some other way make this unviable?

Thank you for any helpful advice or suggestions!

    its works fine, the steam deck isnt region locked, so you can still play with your norwegian account and all. its really just the shipping which doesnt work everywhere. also, if you have a problem again, you’ll have to send it to valve from sweden and pick it up again there

    No worries, I am also norwegian and I have a Deckert. There is absolutely no restrictions on using the Deck with your account in Norway. Only hassle is the actual acquiring of the machine.

    Is Steam refusing to ship it to Norway, or you can’t buy it at all? Maybe you can you use some kind of package forwarder?

    I used to use https://www.mailboxde.com/ back when Amazon still refused to ship Kindles directly to my country and it worked just fine.

      Cant buy it at all. I thought about the forwarding thing, but that isnt really the issue since I can just drive to Sweden and pick it up (and some cheap booze at the same time).
