Question about regional gifting limits

Also interested. I contacted steam support with this question and they never gave me a satisfactory answer. If you want to buy a gift for someone you've added as a friend, in most cases it won't be possible if they're not from the same country as you, but I suspect it's possible if you're from the same region

I don't know if this (totally silent) rule is still in effect, but if a game's base price is cheaper by 10% or more in your country (not region, mind you, this is by country) compared to the recipient's, then you cannot send it. It won't explain why, you'll just get an error message saying not much of anything.

At least that's what happened for years here in Argentina: we basically couldn't gift anything through Steam outside of the country despite the store saying it would be possible as long as the recipient was located in South America.

On top of that you have regional restrictions: you should get a warning when going to checkout if there is a restriction (you can try without actually making a purchase), though maybe that changed with the new redesign of the interface.

I usually go to steamdb and look at price chart and if number are red, I assume I can't gift into them. So far it always worked, for my friends or giveaways on sg (I think I gave away just RDR2, Divinity, Dave the diver and Wilma's dreams by steam gifts?). But maybe it worked, cause I life in expensive region.
