Hi there, so I’ve encountered the situation were I can’t send games as gifts to my other buddies outside my country. Steam throws a “Due to regional price differences, the gift you are trying to send cannot be sent to the recipient’s region.” So it appears gifting directly isn’t an option anymore, so I’ve thought of 2 alternatives: Steam Gift Cards or Game Keys. With the first option, my biggest concerns are: the Steam gift cards are universal? It’s showing me prices in my local currency, will the funds automatically convert to their countries currency? If so where do I look up the games prices for those countries to make sure the ones I buy will be enough for the game they want? With the second option, its my very first time buying game keys, what are the best (and safest) sites for that? Are those sites available in the following countries: Argentina, Ukraine and Russia? Are there any caveats to the keys (like e.g. the keys can expires if not redeemed within a certain amount of time)? I’ve heard keys can be more expensive than the base games, is this true?
Any information is welcomed.
