Steamgifts vs Region Locks

Open
AtomicWoodchuck

What happens next? Clearly things aren't going to be able to continue as they are, and over the next couple of weeks, chances are there are going to be a slew of "not received" giveaways.

Is Steamgifts going to allow gifters to specify a region when creating a non-key giveaway, or is there another, better solution?

Not cool, Gaben

I think this function is absolutly nessary feature for the future...at least when there might be also a trade-lock between US and EU

That would'be silly since US <-> EU trading for profit won't happen, lets take for example a game that has $=€ pricing. You add the 15% market fee and the usual 10-15% profit for the seller and it already costs more than in EU.

Thanks. Guess things will be a bit clearer all round in a few weeks. Could be a few dramas on SG in the meantime, though :(

Few? more like enough tears to quench an entire school's worth of thirst. You know with all the people who love to exploit RU (and likely have the gall to call others leechers) being massively hindered.
