some humble stuff have region locks
it depends on the publisher... best example is deep silver bundles

if there was an edit, it should be the "10% wall" that either allows you to gift to a more expensive region before it won't let you because of the price difference (which I've read someone say they were able to send to another region despite the price being 20% more expensive)

Yeah, that's odd. My example below is that it was exactly 10% difference ($1 up from $10) and it didn't allow me to do it. I also had an issue with Savant Ascent(about $2.50), can't even imagine what the price difference was.

There's a limit of 10% price between regions for gifting, directly from Steam that is. I couldn't gift Fallout 2 to someone else in the US. Price difference? $10 vs. $11, technicality being that it's over 10%.
However, humble bundle was the same price for both of us, presumably because as a Canadian, most websites default to USD.

Well, I'd be surprised if anyone isn't already aware of these sites, especially considering 50% of the news thread when this was implemented is people saying "Just buy keys from Humble"...

It's just that I only use keys that I had spare from bundles I had bought, but I rarely used the site. I should have thought of it but it never occurred to me that the only reputable and legitimate key site I know of could've helped.

Humble Bundle, for me, works in getting past the annoying "Steam Price Wall". I don't know if it's how it works, but I think Humble bundle uses the same prices for everyone, or at the very least, you can choose what currency to pay in(I don't know why that would be a thing, though?). Not really sure. All I know is it helped me to send a gift to someone. Boo yah. What a win.
However, still going to cut back on giveaways for those that enter my rare giveaways.
EDIT: I also assume that it works in that it generates a generic key, and not a region-locked key, but I might be wrong there. Might depend on where your country is set as.
