Bump
please take a look if you're from € too, we can no more send some gifts to US dollar countries.
If you send a game from Steam, you'll have to check steamdb and maybe set region-locks.

Many Microsoft games are cheaper in US$ than € too
if we look for example at Forza https://steamdb.info/app/1551360/
the expensive countries are Israel, Swiss and... Costa Rica (wtf)

Yes it's not a global regional restriction, it's from the pricing difference.
But i wanted to inform that it can happen, cause until now we never had this sort of problem from Europe.

Regional price relations are set once and never change usually while exchange rates fluctuate due to many factors. Trump's crazy and irresponsible unpredictable rhetoric and actions drive the dollar as it's seen as a safe haven in growing geopolitical uncertainty.

I've always been convinced that € was one of the strong currencies. Maybe i'm delusional but it felt weird.
I mean before that i thought if i gift directly on Steam from €, it could go to everywhere in the world. But no. Or no more.
Probably it was like that before to Switzerland. But to US$ ? :-/
Poor guys in Argentina and Turkey who have now prices in US$.
I now remember that they mentioned that some months ago but didn't understand, that the games cost now an arm for them.

Ah so i'm not mad, it really moved recently from € to $.
On another topic, i'm glad that you purchased Aircraft Carrier Survival !
I'm playing a crazy mission now, it feels almost like Ace Combat science-fiction. XD

Ouch, an interesting discussion ?
i just learnt the hard way that now from Europe, some games cost higher than 10% more in some regions.
You've read well, trying to send Aircraft carrier survival to Argentina from €, i couldn't because the game costs now more than +10% in USA... And Argentina and Turkey have now prices in US dollars https://steamdb.info/app/1021100/
Same for Radio Commander https://steamdb.info/app/871530/ +15% US$ / $Latam / $Turkey
Probably some other games are affected, not all, but probably not the only 2.
Also you maybe already noticed but Swiss Franc is much higher than € too, so most games can't be gifted on Steam from € to Switzerland. For example here the difference is +20% https://steamdb.info/app/1875060/
So if you gift on Steam from € please don't forget to check steamdb before,
there is a high chance that you'll have to exclude Switzerland, and some chance that you'll have to exclude US$ regions.
