I was thinking on buying a game from Green Man Gaming and giving it away but I'm not sure If it can be done... I've read that you can buy it in Green Man Gaming and add it to your Steam library, but not in your inventory, so.. is there any way to do it?
Thanks

There indeed are. If someone spent 5 minutes reading instead of making an effort at looking like a doofus asking obvious questions we wouldn't have to deal with these issues.
Common sense is dead.

Give him a break.

There are better ways for OP to find out, but this was the most efficient.

Imagine if we were not allowed to give away GMG games, for any reason. How much better is it for us, that OP make sure first, rather than create a giveaway for something he isn't allowed to

If it's a steam key I don't see why not.

If you buy a game from GMG you will recieve a key and IF you don't activate it yourself you can create a giveaway here and send the key to the winner via email, after the giveaway is finished.

Make sure on the GMG page it says, "This game requires a free Steam account to play.", which means you'll get a Steam key.

Create a giveaway, once it's ended, either add the winner or send the key over email.

You can giveaway a game key and when the winner is selected , you send it to his email or add him and give him through chat :)

I prefer giving through chat because its more personal and if he doesn't know how to active keys , you can help him or if he doesn't know how to mark as "Received" .

Just make sure the game you are buying is DRM : Steam , which means the key will be activated on steam

If you need anymore help just replay to me and I'll help you :D

Thanks, I've just seen the game I was looking says that needs capsule, nothing about steam, so I think I'll better seek for another game...

here's a list of games that are redeemable on steam using a CD/retailer key

keys of games that are not on this list have low chances of redeemable on steam :) look for any tagline such as Requires Steam Workshops or DRM: Steam
