Steam gifts allows only steam keys and Humble Bundle gifts links in key field when trying to send won game after giveaway ends.

Fanatical.com seems to have nice gifting feature now that you can send game by either gift link or mail, and check its status if it was activated.

Would be nice if we could send those links through steamgifts since Humble Bundle gifts links are already allowed.

Aren't you free to just send the person the link instead of just a key?

No, page does not accept fanatical.com gift link. There is error message that says only steam keys and humble gift links are accepted

Just don't add anything and send it to the winner per mail, that's what I meant.
I would say so in the description to be safe but besides that, it's basically the same as with a Humble link

I am aware there are ways to deliver the game that was bought on fanatical.com as a gift.

But for me it would be more convenient to just paste it on steamgifts like you can with humble line and have it delivered here.

And it seems some people agree with me.

I would advise to not use Humble gift link, because they can track who you're giving your games to and if there are too much different people to them, they can consider you as trader and ban your account
people already pointed that out in older posts
be safe and always use keys

I have known for some time that Fanatical has added a gift feature.
However, I have never used it yet because I was not sure if it was possible to add a link with the SG key feature.

Perhaps if CG checks the text input format of the link, it may be modified, but I guess I need to keep this in mind when I use it individually.
(For example, will Fanatical provide the appropriate key for "regional restrictions" to the person who gets the gift link? )

🤔🙄
The proposal itself is a very good story as it is a wonder it has not been done before.

Honestly I do not know how it handles regions. To be safe I just made GA for my steam region.

If it's a bad idea to use Humble gift links I don't see how it would be different with Fanatical. But as we say in my country: why do it the simple way when there's a complicated alternative.

Well, it depends, the Humble links are bad since they if they notice you gift to many different people they might flag you as a trader and that's not allowed, if Fanatical is fine with that, they have no reason to ban you, but no clue how their rules are to be honest so maybe it's just as bad of an idea, maybe it's safe, who knows ^^

I never understood why people would use a complicated gifting feature when they could just use a simple key....
