Suggestion: Create region-locked giveaway

As many have known, Steam store is currently locking a lot of regions. For myself, everything I bought from Steam store are locked for SEA region. Now I cannot giveaway anything from the Steam store even if I want to. I propose SGv2 to allow creating region-locked giveaways, and either (a) display the region beside the giveaway and allow member to do filtering, or (b) hide the giveaway for people not in the region.

We don't even need to implement a country setting for all giveaways, just have a dropdown to specify whether is the gift region-locked and locked for what regions. The dropdown could only have a few commonly known region-locks.

From an article here http://kotaku.com/you-cant-gift-steam-games-wherever-you-want-anymore-1672525767 , there are only a few known locks.

• Russia
• SEA / South East Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand)
• CIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan)
• Turkey
• Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Bahamas, Belize, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, Suriname, El Salvador, Uruguay and Venezuela)
• More region lock types can be added when they are added to Steam

In the account profile I saw a "Country" field that is not editable, says "The above country was generated by your IP address, and will be used to display prices in your region.".

My suggestion is to make it editable so we can actually choose our own country. This will be used to determine whether someone can enter the region-locked giveaway or not.

UPDATE:

Someone brought up an issue for CV calculation. I can suggest a few approach to do this.

1) Give reduced CV for region-locked giveaways, like maybe only 20% or 30% of the CV will be granted to the user for region-locked giveaway.

2) Keep track of 2 sets of CVs. One is the current CV, while the other is a region-locked CV. Region-locked CV will be used for entering region-locked giveaways. So if someone created like, let's say a region-locked $60 game, he will have a ROW CV of $0, while having a Region-lock CV of $60. So he can enter CV-required giveaways only for region-locked games.

This will surely be unfair to some people, but in my humble opinion, removing this restriction will bring more benefit than harm. Just look back in SteamGifts.com history, bundle keys used to be banned in the site, but when this rule was abolished the site become so much more lively! Yes it will still be unfair to some people, like people who legitimately bought Steam gifts to giveaway which the game happens to be in one of the hundreds of past bundles before. But still, people do it not because of the CV, people still giveaway for the sake of making another gamer happy! People still do it to make the internet a better place!
