>>743835095>no longer need to be friends to send giftsthis can only backfire
>they won bigly cause they updated a feature that doesn't really affect anythingI swear valve cultists cheer ANYTHING they do as the greatest thing ever. People on this board were hyping up a Half Lufe 1 anniversary update which fixed the UI and added a few maps
>>743835471you pay american prices, but the exchange rate is decent
>>743835095>no need to be friends in order to giftthis is incredibly bad
>>743835548why
>>743835471yeah its true.
>i can finally gift my burger friendsBAAAAAAAAAASED
>start gifting streamers Sex With HitlerThanks gabe.
>>743835376what the fuck is valve supposed to do? Start manufacturing disks for other peoples games?? retard.
>>743835593based
>>743835653try using your brain for 5 seconds, retards
>>743835376>>Valve/Steam does the same thingValve didn't do that, Physical was already dying on PC even before Steam came into the picture because of shitty drm like securom.
>>743835095>send R rated content>get banned across all regions >master card and visa where's our cut!KEK
>>743835779I don't wanna just tell me
someone should test it out by gifting me a game haha
Does epic chink store have a shopping cart yet? Valve's monopoly must be stopped

>>743835695>>743835653Ya this proves Valve unfairly priced gamers in their countries.
>>743836059Has it really been so long that zoomers don't even know why steam instituted regional pricing in the first place?
>>743836059retarded niggerfaggot
Unless they added ownership I don't care
gifting to 3rd worlders would be so much cheaper if true
>>743836145Corporate bootlocking drone
>>743836059>Ya this proves Valve unfairly priced gamers in their countries.you do mean fairly right? regional pricing means poorer countries usually get cheaper prices. Like a 60 USD game could be 50 USD when treated with the regional pricing How is that not fair?
>>743836116It’s not even correct prices for USD, Valve has no reason to overcharge.
>they don't the lower price if your store is more expensive than the recipient's
>>743836059
>>743835163wow you must be the biggest nigger
>having friends outside your country
>>743835095Finally I can gift Bad Rats to anons againOrale putos.
>>743835095i have no friends so this is worthless to me
>>743836250the price can only increase
ban xitter screencap threads
>>743836334>having friends
>>743835095This is good. Now I can finally gift my QT Euro-GF (male) From Software games.
>>743836251timmysaar poopjeet
>>743836253>>743836295Look at https://steamregionalprices.com/No it’s not fair and no it’s not correct prices.
so i can gift anons from India and Turkey cheap games? sounds good to me
Does this mean I can be a games sugar daddy for qts from overseas?
can i make a new Steam account with a Turk VPN and then gift myself cheap games?how is gabe gonna stop me?
>>743836381wtf? why isn't there outrage against this? fucking jewgers
>>743835095YAY! more ram consumption for nothing!
>>743836587Go ahead and try it. I'll be impressed you know enough to set it up if you're so retarded you can't read.
>>743836474i hope you realize the ones that set the prices aren't actually Valve but the developers themselves, Valve can suggest prices based on the region but its up to the devs to follow it or not.
>>743836571>>743836524>>743836587no >>743836381
Can't you regift a gift, like it's a widget in your inventory?Can't I exploit this to buy games via a friend in a cheaper country and have him trade the game gift object back to me?
>>743835095I don't buy directly from Steam since the switch to regional pricing. The price in my region became much more expensive than the base USD price.
>>743836524you were able always to gift games to those countries, the problem was those countries gifting games to you because they are cheaper there.
>>743835539Explain why you think it's bad in one paragraph
Wow, it's fucking nothingDebumped, hidden.
Did some testing>price can only increase>the exchange rate is somewhat accurate>you can gift region locked games
>stupid butt hurt Steamies are getting BTFO by PChads again!KNOW YOUR PLACE!
>>743836059It's cheaper for third world countries, because they're third worlds.That's why many changed their location to Argentina and used VPN's to buy games cheaper.They actually help the poor, Mr.Wright.
>>743835095Cool now do cross region steam family
>>743836745>>you can gift region locked gameswould they work though
Why is /v/ always slurping anything steam/valve related? This board needs to change names to /v/ - Valve Drones
>>743836587>turkwhat's next? an argentina one? That's so outdated, man. UK(raine) and Indian are the best prices.
>>743836806they would
>>743836794>cross region>familyI don't think so Abdul, you have to go back
>>743836745So if i gift someone in a region with a lower price, I still pay my price ?
>>743836745>>you can gift region locked gamesSo, are people able to play the region locked game if you gift it to someone living in a region locked?
>>743836745>you can gift region locked gamesNow I need a norwegian buddy to finally get max payne 1 on steam.
>>743836860yeah
Gonna have a lot of mudslimes trying to scam me in the gifting threads next major sale.
>>743835376Saar, Epic Game Store is never going to be a serious competitor to anyone. I'm sorry, it's too late to redeem.
>the price can only increaseMaybe Gabe really was the villain after all
>>743836860yep, likely to stop the exploit of someone just making a poor region account to buy for cheap and gift to your main account
>>743836860yes, now say THANK YOU GABESteam is so fucking based btw
Damn it, back to buying visa gift cards for my bitches.
>>743836943The next big thing is getting voice chat requests from people not on your friends list so you can get scam calls while you game
>No longer need to be friends to send giftsScammers going to be sending out hella malware infested games and a lot of idiots aren't going to think beyond "wow, free game"
>>743836967But wouldnt they be paying the higher price if it is based on locatiok checkout ?
>>743837149Indian scammers are the natural selection of the digital world
>>743836823>Valve did something cool>this makes the consolecuck that is used to get their ass raped, very mad as usual.What's the matter, can gift games to people on your console, gonna cry?
>>743837183Sorry, mean the end account's location. So if you gift to yourself from an india vpn and account you are still paying your normal price.
>>743835095>No longer need to be friends to send giftsPerfect for crypto games!
wait a minute, so you have cross region gifting now and you pay more if the price is higher therebut then, can you avoid this if you send the game via email?
>>743837149>Accepting things from strangersDid your mother never teach you anything?
>>743837290I accept candy, drugs, and porn from strangers all the time. It hasnt killed me yet.
>>743837268
>>743837396okay that makes sense.
>>743837396Changing this would solve that wouldn't it?
>>743837547it doesn't really, it should have been>the gift can be accepted if the local price is equal or lower
>>743835095Did they start letting me own my games or is this some other pointless feature?
>>743835653scamming and account hacking, probably >get into literally anyone's account>use their money to gift a bunch of shit to one of your accounts without having to go through the friends list shit
>>743835095>cross region gifting iykyk
>>743837183its like this>make a steam account based in a poorer country like Argentina for example>you have your usual steam account based in the US>Use the US account to gift games to your Argentina Steam Account because a game is like 30 USD instead of 60 USDThat's the exploit they don't want you to have. Prices in richer countries stay the same. But poorer country will have to pay 60 USD (or close enough) instead of 30 USD as per their own country. That's why back then for a long time poorer countries aren't allowed to gift to richer ones, people used that exploit a ton. But i guess now they found a way to do it, Richer countries are still fucked but they'd still be paying the same prices even before this change anyway.
What if I try to gift a porn game to someone in the UK? They can't buy them without a credit card to verify their age.
>>743837587to change payment region you need a valid payment methodand they will send you back to your region if they notice you gaming the system with vpn and prepaid cardsthat loophole worked for 5+ years, they closed it around 2 years ago
>>743837607This is why I don't save my payment information. I enter it manually every time as a security measure.
>>743835095That's nice but the gift system is still unusable since gifting a game to a friend who really wants it means they can never leave a review for the game that actually counts. Until they solve the issue is locking friends out of Steam's core redeeming feature by receiving gifts, gifting them money so they can buy the game themselves is the only way to go.
>>743837676That bongoloid goes to prison
>no longer need to be friends to send gifts>gifts to emailoh no
Against my better judgement I joined a family group of random kids from my country so they could play my games I probably won't touch again. So far no VAC bans; one is playing Sekiro another is playing Hi-Fi Rush and another played Code Vein 2 for a couple hours, dropping it, which is pretty nice.
>>743837641this is what people used to do with vpns back in the day for their main accounts. you could change your region and pay in pesos so a quick trip to venezuela got you super cheap games.
>>743836657Lies, Valve has price controls that they create. There is no “guy check price job” in video game production.
>>743837801What do you get from this?
>>743837867Nudes
>>743836945But Tim sends me discs to my call center in New Delhi.
>>743837837what's your source, my guy?
>>743836589because YOU can afford itand also because then you could put your account in a region, get gifted games by an alt, and only have to pay thirdie price without ever having to prove that you're in that region by having payment info from there
I want to be able to pay burger prices instead of turd world prices because my turd world currency improved a ton over the last 3 years but prices remain absurdly high here despite that
>>743836793Yet, Valve suggests higher rates than average working hours. If this happened in the USA, you be paying $100 for $60 game.
>>743835095How nice! I can send the gift to my emigrated friend living in Thailand without any bs.
>>743837587I fucking hate this, mostly because paypal sucks cock in that you are NOT able to EVER change your country on it, you are supposed to close your account and re-open it in the new country, and so I cannot use paypal on steam if I want the right region (doesn't matter for software but I want a frame)I MOVED ACROSS BORDERS IN EUROPE FFS
>>743838242If you're in europe why not use trustly? Lol
>>743837867Nothing.I mean, someone bought Stellar Blade during the last Steam sale and they have games I don't like SMTVV or Nier Replicant so I can play them, but I don't get very much.Between the five kids the family group had 250 games. I have 450.
>>743838031Here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/pricing> Initial pricing as well as proposed pricing adjustments will be reviewed by Valve and are usually processed within one or two business days.
>no longer need to be friendsWill gifting you your wishlist game finally get you to readd me?
is there an option to opt out of gifting?
>>743838373Until you start fucking my crust hole again, no.
>>743835095>based on friend's region1st worlders are fuckedAlso, this >>743835163>no longer need to be friends to send giftsScammers rejoice
>>743838410yes, make your profile private and stay in the invisible mode forever. Blocking or removing your steam friends would be a good start.
>>743838410Just don't accept the gifts? What situation would you be in where even being given a gift is a problem? You can always block people and set your account to private like normal.
>>743838523I already do that>>743838551>What situation would you be in where even being given a gift is a problem?That's none of your business
>>743835824>Physical was already dying on PCIt wasn't dying. It was killed off, you dumb corporate cocksucker (games with 4 lifetime activations, cd keys with online checks, copy protection malware like starforce, forced online services like GFWL, retailers refused to stock PC games, cancerous online servers like IWNet)
>>743836253by this logic poland is the richest country on earth
>>743835548>>743837607>refunds games>report the people who got the gifts>talk with customers supportwoah... is this the power of having triple digit iq?
>>743836286They don't? What fucking kikes
>>743838359so basically what >>743836657 said...
>>743838359Can you read? That doesn't sound like Valve setting the price themselves.Otherwise shit like this wouldn't be allowed if Valve set the price>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1200520/Ascent_FreeRoaming_VR_Experience/
>>743838739>talk with customers support
>>743838652so i was right and Steam wasn't the issue.Remember, Piracy is a service issue.
>>743838884i know its practically worthless and a joke for any other platform, but it has worked pretty well for me on steam
>>743836017profile
>>743838884I got hacked once and they solved my problem in 24 hours.
>>743838981>Steam wasn't the issue.People loved no-steam cracks back in the day because fuck requiring an account to play.
Seems like a badly though update?Mostly benefits scammers
steam is bloated af and they've actually made the ui worse with time, not better.maybe enshittification really is a real phenomenon.
>>743839852Retard
>>743839950i called someone mentally ill on the steam off topic forums 'mentally ill' because they were LGBT and i got permamuted.
>>743835095>no exclusivesDropped
>>743840207You don't even play on pc, consolecuck
>>743840075Deserved for being a moron, we aren't there yet.
>>743840275muted for telling the truth. it's a curious phenomenon.
>>743836285>Valve has no reason to overcharge.It's what the subhumans deserve.
>>743835695>themI fucking hate singular they/them.
>>743840394No you're just a idiot that doesn't realise the scale hasn't went back in the opposite direction yet.
>>743835376I can get a complete list of files in my SSDs, you can't do this to your console.Cerny can store a shitload of cuckporn videos in your playstation, and you would never know.
>>743840539why are you imagining hypothetical scenarios? there is no scale. you can literally just say whatever you want.
>>743840481they/them is tranny shit, this is different
>>743835095saw new wishlist look today fucking ugly dark as shit page compared to all other pagesstupid categories with a big box with a + drawing your gazeremove now has a bright red xstupid ass review mention
>>743840602Evidently not if it gets you muted, if society felt otherwise that wouldn't have happened.
>>743840694i mean i've always thought if i get muted for saying something that i'm not the problem at all. the platform itself is the problem and simply not worth using. this is almost always true, by the way.
>>743835095Steam not beating the third world poors allegations.
>>743840743Then don't use it, no one has a gun to your head you annoying fag
>Still can't make a separate private wishlist Lame
>>743840896either man the fuck up or stop playing embarrassing weebshit
>>743840604It's not even actually tranny, it's "genderpunk", a retarded political movement about challenging gender roles just to be different and get brownie points that shoved itself on the trannies and make everything even worse than it already was.
>>743840801it's funny how triggered you are getting. and the first thing you do is bring up a gun. can't make it up.
>>743840974"them" has been the pronoun used for singular unidentified people for the longest time, like in law enforcement, you retarded zoomer
>>743838502>Scammers rejoiceWhy? You can reject gifts
>>743840985>doesn't know "gun to your head"Poo in the loo rajesh
Christmas threads are gonna be nice this year
>>743835095
>>743835095Why can't steam stop winning, please, think of the consoles.
>>743836334I have a lot of canadian friends
>>743836784Nigga this ain't archeage. Pirates are not a faction.....right?
Feels like off-Steam groups will come together to buy things for each other.
>>743835376Consoleplebs have zero freedoms or control. Just a wee tiny little bit of a difference, I guess.
>>743841650Only for region-locked games most likely, like Dead or Alive
>>743835376>>>/vp/
>>743841076exactly what i was thinkingbeggars gotta be quick before santas run out of spare money
>>743841650>>743841828Might be able to finally get SRW X/V or Dragon Quest X offline
>>743840604>they/them is tranny shitBut what about Ermac?
>>743841904As long as there are no 3rd party requirements to play such as accounts or fucking location-based DRMs, it should be fine.
does that mean that Steam gifting threads during the holidays will go back to normal now? I loved gifting out games to anons but it was basically impossible these last several years
All these updates to the UI have sucked ass, it's getting more laggy whenever I scroll down
>>743842014Seems like it, we need more saudi oil princes on christmas threads.
>>743840985>and the first thing you do is bring up a gunyeah you have to be an actual indian or ESL to not understand a very simple "gun to your head" reference. kill yourself
>>743835095>This sequence of 0s and 1s costs $10 in this region>But $29 in this>You aren't allowed to send your $10 copy of 0s and 1s, you need to pay $29 because uhhh reasonsPaypigs are so pathetic
>>743836745>>you can gift region locked gamesYou always could. I know because I gifted my German friend Karryn's Prison and it's banned there.
>>743842014I think it would certainly help now that you don't need to friend people to gift them. I know a few who would like to gift but don't really want give out their steam profile.
poorfag bros... we eating good this year
>>743841663>i don't own anything it that's okay because they can't mod their games yet
Why /v/ hates the people who spend money on "1s and 0s" so much?
This just seems like them closing some loopholes with buying shit from another region on a sub-account for cheaper, so your main one doesn't get hit for region swapping.
>>743835095Christmas gifting here got easierExpect more stuff frens
>>743835548It's an arbitrary obstacle
now if only steam didnt ban me 5 times in under a week for posting my wishlist in a gifting thread
>>743843664i got banned so many times and the threads were so shit and full of people mass reporting and just banning anyone who even posted in the threads., wasnt worth it
>>743843857Why the hell would steam ban you.
>>743838814If you have to be approved to enter your home is it really your choice.
>>743838878If you need approval for it, the choice is not yours it’s Valve.
>>743836116Why?
>>743835095>Cross-region gifting to friend with price calculated at checkout based on friend's regionSo I can just make an alt in Argentina or some other hyperinflated shithole, then "gift" it games at poorfag prices while using my American credit card?
>>743844507it only gets more expensive, not cheaper, so you'll pay the price in your region if the other one is cheaperthey thought of that trick
>>743835095Holy kino!Steam is back baby! Great update, unironically.
>>743844554>Can send digital gift cardGot it, so I just gift myself $10 to buy whatever game it is I want
>>743835095>buys stolen argentinia cd key for 4$ instead of 40$>sends it to friend over discord>he activates itand just like that I bypassed your regional meme prices, gaben likes to talk about service problems yet still offers abysmal service desu
>>743836793>because they're third worlds.and WHO decides they are third worlds?italy has had their wages reduced to -4% compared to inflation since 30 years, ago, they are the poorest country in europe, yet their steam prices are the same as norway, where the average salary is 80% higher than italy
>>743844883>yet their steam prices are the same as norway, where the average salary is 80% higher than italyone market one price
>>743835095>Now you can check which one of your friends abuse the Argentina/Turkey store for cheap games.
>>743844805idiot, usually keys for those regions are region locked.
>>743844805>embody the 'nobody thinks they got a deal unless they cheated the merchant' idea unironicallylame
>>743835163>SAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR NOOOOOOOO
>>743837676>What if I try to gift a porn game to someone in the UK? They can't buy them without a credit card to verify their age.probably takes your money first, then, says the person can't receive it.
>>743844675You can do that even before this new change.
>>743835095The needful was done, praise gaben
Can I as an american gift to euros or not? I'm not really sure which way works o algo.
>>743845258Yeah you can now, but it's gonna be a bit more expensive because of the euro tax.
>>743845341That's fine, I just made $0.01 by selling a trading card
>>743836353I hope that gifting it takes off again.
>>743836587Wouldn't that mean your Turk account still has to pay American prices?
Finally, I have a friend in Italy and just because a game was like 2$ cheaper here i wasn't able to gift it.
>>743837676Maybe this is the intended workaround.
>>743842014I remember gift threads. Back then, gifted games were in the form of 'inventory', and you could choose to unbox them whenever you want.
>>743835779I'm Black and I can't tell what the problem is.
>>743835163>I'll get you the game bro!>checks cart>oh you're indian >cancel purchase, unfriend based
>>743846270>I'm Blackgross so am I
>>743835095Don't care, still using Epic Games Store LOL JK
>>743844492Steam did it for profit, EU found Steam price hiking smaller countries.
>>743844390sucks when that happens
That’s not big.
>>743846553>EU found Steam price hiking smaller countries.They were doing the opposite though, and offering lower prices to poorer countries like poland. Which small countries were they overcharging?
>>743847006READ: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/files/document/print/en/ip_21_170/IP_21_170_EN.pdf
pc master cucks
>>743847441> means of geo-blocked Steam activation keys which preventedthe activation of certain of these publishers' PC video games outside Czechia, Poland, Hungary,Romania, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and LithuaniaSo like I said, they were giving cheaper prices to the poorer countries in the EU. A violation of EU law for sure, if you offer a game for a price in one country in the EU you can't legally prevent people in other countries from also buying it for that price. But that's not the same as "price hiking smaller countries". The only thing that happened after this is that all the countries listed had their prices increased to be in line with the rest of the EU.
>>743839950nah he is absolutely right, i don't know what's gotten into them, but suddenly they started updating the UI for the store and workshop(dont know about the rest) and i hate it
>>743847756>steam generosity gets punished and is used against steam by malicious retardsthis world really doesn't deserve gaben...
>>743847714>calls pc, cucks>while him being on consoles that has to pay extra to play online
>>743835095>no longer have to be friends to send giftsWsee you guys at christmas, I always give away $300 worth of games each year
