as the title says, when I wanna purchase something as gifts,
steam just warn me that:
"Notice: Gift purchases for XXX can only be added to the gift recipient's library if they are in Hong Kong or Taiwan."

Can I use my steam account to buy games without region locked ?
I'd like to give to all over the worlds :(
thanks :D

trade ROW gifts or keys.
you can use paypal or market items (tf2/csgo keys, gems, cards). https://www.steamtrades.com/

just odn't get scammed... check you're trading with the correct user and always pick people with high rep.

Sadly, you can't buy ROW gifts where you live with your Steam account, not without the risk of getting into some trouble.

What you can do (if possible), is buy from sites like Humble Bundle, GMG, etc and give keys instead of Steam gifts. Obviously, that's not possible for everyone, either, but just a suggestion to try and help. Good luck. I truly feel bad for you region-locked folks.

edit: nevermind, Mully has a lot more experience with this, and her suggestion is 10x better. :3

That's the thing with (mostly) cheaper regions, I can also not buy region free games sadly.
As said if you want to giveaway region free games,

  1. trade region free games with other users
  2. buy from region free stores such GMG, Humble Bundle

Make sure that the humble stuff is not region locked....
It's really rare but it happens with bundles sometimes
