Weird. CS:GO specifically or a bundle? What exactly is it saying? o.O

CS:GO will not be giftable during the sale. Our goal with sales is to grow the community and historically, during sales, the new users that stick around are mainly the ones that purchase copies for themselves.

And that's how you destroy half of the traders on steam. >:(

Now, how will I buy a cs:go gift for a friend of mine? xD

How exactly? :D I don't want to spend my real money. He hasn't even made a steam account yet (will probably do in the next month) and he expects me to give him cs:go. What will I do? :/

Firstly, I bought yesterday a cs complete for him from a trader, because it had the same price as cs:go. Secondly, I doubt that, whenever he makes the steam account (probably at the start of the next month), he will put money in it. He will just play with the games I'll give him and, in the future, maybe he'll consider putting money in it.

Without the 5 euro spent his account will have limited access though. No community access, and most importantly no market access to sell his drops. Just find a game to his liking when he makes the account with a nice discount that costs about that much and subtly push it towards him. Like this: "re malaka, koita edw ena gamato paixnidaki. Molis pente eurwpoulakia! Tzampa einai! Oute dyo paketa tsigara!" xD
It's not actually necessary to spend the money though, he could simply just add them to his steam wallet and leave them there till there's something he's really passionate about, that also unlocks his account.

Ε και τι να την κάνει την πρόσβαση σε αυτά; Να παίζει παιχνίδια μόνο θέλει. :P Ίσως βέβαια να βάλει κάποια στιγμή λεφτά, γιατί κάποια στιγμή θα βαρεθεί τα παιχνίδια που θα του δώσω και δεν πρόκειται και να του αγοράσω άλλα άμα είναι ακριβά. :P

My friend doesn't even have steam yet, so he doesn't have items too. :P But anyway, I just bought cs complete for him from a trader, since it had the same price as cs:go. ;P

I even bought him another game too. xD Well, he has helped me quite a lot and he's always there for me, so that's why he's my best friend. :D And I bought him cs complete from a trader, because it had the same price as cs:go.

You could create the account for him. Purchase with your paypal, and then remove the info. Granted, there's no guarantee steam will be cool with you creating an account to gift someone.

I don't have paypal money. You see, there are many obstacles. :/

No, thank you. I got cs complete for 4 keys in the end. ;P

Super interesting. I wonder if any other multiple games will get this treatment.
Found out about this just now.

They don't care about traders, well they do, but they are doing that to stop smurfs and cheaters

I would say they care about traders in the sense that they hate them and do everything to get rid of them to maximize their own profits.

Support now will not support people scammed, so yes, they don't want people to trade to maximize their gain, but in this case they are taking care of smurfs and cheaters

Yea. That was more of an unrelated note and not particularly about why they disabled Gift purchases for CSGO during sales.

I'm not sure about it being not legal although I doubt it but the European Court of Justice has also decided that Valve has to allow users to resell games from there Libary and nothing has happened so far.
