~~After the release of the December Humble Monthly Bundle, a Phantom Pain Definitive Experience DLC Key was released as one of the pre-release game.

Here, if you activate this key when you have Phantom Pain original game. You could get a gift according to your region. If your IP is in some countries such as USA, Canada when you activate the key, you can a ROW gift for this game.

After you get the gift, just deactivate this key in steam and buy another DLC key on some website (For GXA, the price of the DLC key is about 1-2 USD only).

You can generate many and many ROW gift of Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain as long as how many these HB DLC Keys you have.😀~~

It'd be great if it was the other way around and you could use the gift yourself, saving you having to get that.

Wait, you're saying that if I already have Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and I get the Humble Monthly and try to activate The Phantom Pain Definitive Experience key, I'll get another copy of The Phantom Pain as a ROW gift that I can give away?

No idea, the definitive edition DLC gives an extra gift copy.

because you are "buying" a package that includes the base game, so, some companies(very few) give you an extra copy of the base game, most of them dont, that is why I avoid buying base games that I expect to be spammed with DLCs in the future, for example Fallout 4, Civilization, etc, and just wait to get the GOTY..

Furthermore, some companies prefer to discount you the price of the base game , if you already own it, when you buy a package that includes it.

Others like Xcom2 are dicks and don't even discount the base game from the packages...

I just noticed that from Mount and Blade too :( , I wanted to buy the DLC bundle and the base game is there, and they won't discount it for the owners.

This only works if you already own Phantom Pain right? I heard that there is 3 keys, one for phantom pain, ground zeroes and then the definitive edition key? if you activate grounds/phantom first and then use the dlc will that work as well?

Yeah, just activate the Definitive key last and it should work.

Forget to tell you that, you can activate the key using USA VPN to get the ROW gift without any doubts.
You don't need to change your steam store region.

pretty nifty,, although I suspect this method will ultimately lead to a mass flooding of MGS Phantom Pain gifts and they'll be worth next to nothing,, especially considering the game was just part of a super cheap GMG package..

Only ok if you can only delete other things except for the original phantom pain.
So, the answer is NO
