just play it off of itch, German’s seemingly near universal autism in playing it off of Steam is cringe. Why do you need to play it off of steam, it’s weird.
Unless there is some roadblock I'm unaware of, idk why these people aren't just using a VPN or something for a new account & then gifting the purchase to their main account... maybe even buy a Steam gift card first to fund it, instead of a personal bank card/account... I can't imagine there not being some sort of work around if you get crafty.
