What would happen to SteamGifts if we can't store game gifts anymore..???
We have to add the winners as friend before we able to send the remaining gifts we own in the inventory...
I need details of this and what would be in the future of SteamGifts... Thank you... 😢

SteamGifts pretty much changes into SteamKeys, with occasional Gifts-Giveaways set for short duration (weekend deals) or during longer sales (Xmas Sale, you start GA on first day and allow it to go for nearly 2 weeks).

We have to add the winners as friend

You don't have to do that, all you need is email.

Edit: Since there was a confusion, old inventory-based gifts still only need email.

Nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if Steam gifts made up less than 15% of the giveaways, and even less surprised if 90% of those were region-specific.

The region restricitions will need a complete overhaul since people cannot gift to some countries inside the same region. I (Brazil) cannot send gifts to the majority of the countries in South America, but people from those countries still can enter my GAs because of the old regional division.
I don't see any other big changes while we still have keys. For now...

So keys or product activation through keys are still good, but not email gifting.

Keys are still fine. They'll probably try to change how they work too, but for now. Yes, keys are safe. Just don't forget to see if they are ROW.

euh.... what? So how do you make giveaways? How do you buy games from steam for giveaways? I don't want to be forced to buy keys from other sites..

Make a region locked giveaway for your region and after the giveaway ends, buy the game as a gift and send it directly to the winner.
