Tested purchasing games, changing profile information, crafting badges, writing reviews, adding friends, using the community marketplace, and Steam's built-in voice chat — all features work normally.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
