Steam gifting topic

[Remmke]

Hey,

Anyone from the US willing to gift games through Steam? I've been looking at games but thought *meh* too expensive in euro's... There are some games that are more fair in price (50 dollar <-> 34 euro) but most of them are still up there.

I can send the money through paypal (sigh    ).

i could help ya i guess..  what the hell.

Hey, awesome if you already have Steam you can add me to your contact list; Remmke

If not you need to make an account. 

[Remmke]

Anyone else who can help me?

I can't help you much, some games for Germany are even censored or not available.

[Remmke]

Hmm aren't you in the same Steam region as me?

That makes me wonder if I gift you games you will get the uncensored one. Edit: Browsed the Steam forum and this should work if the gifter can buy the uncut version.So if you ever needhelpjust let me know.

Anyway you can check on this site to see which games are fair priced. I am looking for someone who can gift me Orce Must Die + the DLC.

[Remmke]

Many thanks for gifting me Orcs Must Die! + DLCs

That makes me wonder if I gift you games you will get the uncensored one.

Yes you do, i got a friend in the UK to gift me a copy of L4D2 a while back because Aus was given the censored junk on that release.

I got the following games up for gift;

- Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter.
- Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter
- Torchlight.

Just leave a message here if you want a game.

[Iggy]

Is this you on Steam? => http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198035673388 I searched with your e-mail address and found that profile.

[Rog]

wtf is with those price differences, steam just rips europeans off hard !!! I already hated steam a lot, now i hate it even more!!!!!!

You might want to hate your government actually...

Because it actually it isn't Steam that sets the prices... it is the game publishers who say the dollar amount.  The publishers decide on those prices on information from how your governments calculate the cost of living and how they CHOOSE to set the living-standard vs income. 

I looked into that a couple of years ago when learning about Steam.
