Use Store Country for regional package exclusion #101

Closed nhahtdh closed 2 years ago

Currently, the extension is using GeoIP country for regional package exclusion. While this works for most users, when a user is traveling, their GeoIP would not match the Steam Store Country. It's more accurate to use Steam Store Country instead.

That page does not have access to your store country.

Can't the extension do something about it?

The free package page is supposed to work for logged in user, it should already grab data from https://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata/ for DLC detection. Can't it get the country from https://store.steampowered.com/account/ page?

Or perhaps it's a better idea to open an issue on SteamDB site to get store country when a user is logged into SteamDB, which then could be used by the extension to filter the packages?

Not going to do that.
