They changed it long ago. Better buy your gifts from reseller sites.

Just add the giveaway winner in your friend list (temporary) on Steam, like that you will be able to buy your gifts on it :)

Nah, that doesn't work, either.

This is what I was looking for.

Make an invite only giveaway here on this forum with some small puzzle or whatever, you got a much better chance for someone to just add you on steam, rather then trying to make a public giveaway.
Or get a key from kinguin/g2a.
You can also hit some region difference with a too much of a price difference i think, however that works.

Just create giveaway with region restrictions and then add winner on Steam and send him gift

Yeah. But I wanted to gift a game which is on sale on Steam.
And I am from a poor country. Usually if something is not %80 on sale it might be still too expensive.
(Except the times they make poor regions actually more expensive than US :D )
PS: My friend wanted to send a HB gift last week and they did not provide a key to the winner.
They said they run out of keys. He tried to reach to producer too.
But after a week he had to cancel the giveaway.
So if the game is not extremely on demand there is a risk HB gifts might turn out to be some empty gift packages unfortunately. :/

What kind of game was he giving away ? Was it by any chance a key he got for free ?
Because to answer Tcharr - they are more reliable then that.... I mean there have been problems with HB locking people out of accounts, but as far as I know - they are an official reseller and its not likely they would run out of keys and just say "screw it"
I havent given away much, but out of my 101 giveaways almost all of them are HB gifts. Not a one problem

Game was from Humble Monthly. June probably. (I can't remember but it was a recent one)
HB told him they get keys in a bunch and they don't know when they will get some new ones.
He then tried to reach out to the creator of the game by email, FB and Twitter but never received an answer.
He also told me he tried to call the publisher too (He is Turkish).
When he called, someone from an university answered and they were shocked that publisher put their number on the website. :)
Really odd story

Yeah i couldn't find it on a reseller site either when i wanted to buy it (for some reason also the same for puss!), it's on ebay for 1,11. Sometimes it handy to try there too.
Best to always reveal keys as quicky as possible i guess so you got them locked.

I have that one in my library, but haven't played it. The devs seem a little shady, since their "Thank you" in the news is just lorem ipsum. https://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=948900

Same problem here for weeks:
"ATTENTION: We have run out of Steam keys for ETHEREAL. We are getting more ASAP. We will have Steam keys for you as soon as they are available again!"

I wanted to buy some games as a gift on Steam then create giveaways but Steam forced me to send the games directly to my friends.
Am I doing something wrong?
Did they change the store settings?
