Idk about South America, but they blocked off gifting to/from Russia because of how much the Ruble has crashed

[F3d323]

I heard some people were abusing the new multiple currencies thing to make a profit or something
No idea why they blocked it for Argentina, though.

If anything, you should try something like buying them TF2 keys, and telling them to resell them and buy the game or sumthing

[F3d323]

no lol i can buy games
i just cant gift them
oh wait i get it
no steam purchases can be sent to people outside your region iirc

The 3 regions are loving rife with spammers, so we should see far less account hacks.

sounds like the lost nigerian prince also wants steam games

you can probably buy them and put them into your steam library and then trade them to people?
