As Steam/Valve changed their pricing model recently with the introduction of LATAM and MENA region it would be easier and less prone to mistakes if those regions would be included as default choices in the region restrictions menu during giveaway creation.

My last winner lives in Brazil and I was under the impression this country belongs to Latin America and I wouldn't be able to gift him the game but obviously it isn't part of Steam's LATAM region.

So please spare users the detective work to find out which countries belong to those regions and support moderators by reducing possible re-roll or deletion requests.

Personally, I think Steam's newest pricing is absurd if a game costs over 10% more in those regions than in Europe.

Here is a userscript that adds a new LATAM+MENA preset to the region selector:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        SteamGifts - LATAM/MENA region preset
// @namespace   https://www.steamgifts.com/user/ormax3
// @author      ormax3
// @match       https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/new
// @icon        https://cdn.steamgifts.com/img/favicon.ico
// ==/UserScript==

let container = document.querySelector('select');
if (!container) return;

let el = document.createElement('option');
el.value = '3,10,17,22,26,67,68,69,94,98,101,108,117,125,128,154,165,174,178,179,182,220,221,237,238,256,261';
el.append('LATAM + MENA (DZ,AR,BH,BZ,BO,EC,EG,SV,GT,GY,HN,IQ,JO,LB,LY,MA,NI,OM,PS,PA,PY,SD,SR,TN,TR,VE,YE)');
container.append(el);

That looks good. Would you mind to tell your admirers how to integrate the script into SG?

This said I'm still dissatisfied as SG shouldn't be a distorted mirror image of Bethesda Softworks relying on third party contributions to fix their code deficiencies.

Cg, do your bloody homework already.

how to integrate the script into SG?

It should be straightforward for SG to include a new preset option for LATAM/MENA natively.

In the mean time, anyone can install this using their preferred userscript manager extension for their browser (e.g: violentmonkey, greasemonkey, tampermonkey, ... 🐒), look for them in your browser's addon store.
