Currently 8 region lock presets exist in SteamGifts:

  • Europe - Humble Bundle
  • Europe - Steam
  • Hong Kong + Taiwan (only 2 countries)
  • North America (only 2 countries: Canada and USA)
  • RU + CIS (12 countries)
  • Saudi Arabia + United Arab Emirates (only 2 countries)
  • SEA (6 countries)
  • South America

And as you can see, at least 3 of them is a combination of only 2 countries - which doesn't really needs a saved preset.
Selecting 2 countries takes a trivial amount of time.

At the same time, more and more games are given away with Middle East + Africa region lock, which includes approximately 65 countries.
And is a real chore to fill out.
But it's lacking from the list of region lock presets.
Some examples of games with Middle East + Africa region locks:

So I'm suggesting to add Middle East + Africa to the list of region lock presets.

Thank you for your consideration

Thanks, this is helpful.
This is kind of a workaround/abuse of the feature, which is mostly aimed at GA create/end times.
But I'm guessing it could work if each person takes the time to create such a list for himself.

Still, adding it to the general list, for everyone, would be the best solution.
