Hey, my friend from another country wanted to gift me undertale since it was deeply discounted during current sale but steam had to step in and block gifting since there was price difference higher than 10% and now I am wondering… who thought that it would be good idea?
It is the inherent unfairness in global markets. Companies are more than allowed to exploit differences, while customers sure mustn’t. Like paying less in Russian steam e.g. instead of paying more in German steam.
Which should be forbidden by law everywhere. If companies can charge us based on average wealth per country, why can’t we shop based on average savings per country?
Like it was before steam noticed they’re loosing potential income. And with it also died the excellent tradeable inventory-gift system…
