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?

That is probable or they introduces it so vac banned would have harder time buying game on alt if they would get banned. But they can always purchase keys which are sometimes cheaper than games on steam
