I thought regional lock was enabled for every game?

Recently I've talked to friends who live in Russia and they have informed me that some games don't display information about them being region locked when purchased. I thought every single game is region locked in Russia to prevent it from being gifted which can be used to avoid the high pricing in Europe and other regions. The games I used as example are Osiris New Dawn and Take On Mars, there were some others. Is this some sort of a glitch or is the system just not displaying the region lock? Does anyone have any info on that?

Interesting. No, I've never heard of that. Have you actually tried gifting these games over different regions? Maybe the warning just don't show up?

I haven't tried gifting any game yet. But they have told me the page doesn't show any warning and there is no warning in the cart as well.

Gifts can be region locked without any kind of warning so I am guessing that is the case
