This. Probably to stop people selling them on sites like g2a

So gifting shit becomes literally useless unless you wanna gift something to the person living next door or something?

Pretty much. They know full well that the majority of gifting is just people circumventing regional pricing.

Yeah I'm Russian and I had this problem since 2015. Basically the prices here are really low compared to Europe and the US, and Steam doesn't want to drive its customers away by raising prices (since everyone here pirates), so they forbid people from gifting games from this region to the rest of the world. Sucks, but better than having to pay $20 for indie games.

Well fuck. This is fucking retarded. So if you wanna buy a fucking 4 pack or something you're beyond fucked if you wanted to gift em to friends in another country. Fucking stupid.

It's only if you live in a shithole where they have to drop the price to combat piracy.

I guess that makes centro and south america that shithole then. I don't know if Chile or Argentina change their prices or not, but here in Costa Rica we keep the same usd prizes I think.

just use a vpn and set it to their country
