Region locked gifts giveaway suggestion

No one is questioning RU monthly income, but, i agree, it would be difficult to balance something like that.

Then you have to consider that a russian-Level 5 can enter on "regional restricted + RoW giveaway", meanwhile a random american\european-Level 5 can enter only in a Row giveaway.

TL;DR Steam is racist trollface

If we want to compare that, Indonesian monthly income is also less than RU.
If the RU stand on 21k RUB ($300) an Indonesian stand on 2.5 M IDR ($ 200) yet we don't get cheaper price.

GTA V in RU is $29.5, while in SEA it is $43.64.

If there should be a reform, I think the reform should starts on SEA first, citing that it has less salary than Russian, but still paying higher priced games.

In fact, we should not discuss about this, because there are other nations that also pay unfair price. A lot of countries in Eastern Europe are paying way more, though their nation is poor.

But on the other hand, for fairness, a Russian-bought game, or Indonesian-bought game, should not be put on full value on SG, because we pays less. Except if it is a bundle games, the price is the same around the world.

If we start this argument there are a lot of Eastern European countries who could complain. They have ~same, less more average income than Russia, but they are still paying eu prices.

According to Wikipedia average in euro:

Russian : 361

and some Eastern European countries:

Romania: 398

Hungary: 487

Bulgaria: 332

Serbia: 373

I'm not sure about Ukraine what prices pay but their average is 162

Slightly off topic (maybe) but I just have to rant...
Everybody thinks that if I live in USA that I have a lot of money to spare. Yeah, americans are effing Rockefellers, each and every one here lit their cigars from a burning $100 bills... Well, let me tell you what - I'm a single mom with 2 kids, working hard job with low (enough) pay and living in apartment - and rent eats away about 3/5 of my paycheck. Add to that cost of insurances (that you have to have), utility bills and decent food and clothes - and what's left isn't even a 1% of my income on a good month. And on the other hand - there are people in Russia (especially in Moscow and St.Petersburg) who make several times my yearly income - in a month. I personally know 2 people in Ukraine that make at least 2 times what I have - and don't have to spend even 5th of that on living expenses. Btw, what do you think - where those snotty kids (we all run into at least one at some point or another) get money to throw on P2P games and other stuff?
Now - I'm not whining about inequalities, I'm not begging for "help" or sympathy. I manage to not only survive - but raise my kids without them feeling like 3rd class citizens. Instead of spending on cosmetics and jewelry I spend on Steam for us 3, and sometime for extended family, friends - and community. I'd like to be able to give more, but I have my priorities, you know, pretty much chosen for me.
Umm... where was I heading? Ah, right. There are people from different countries with different income and different background on Steam - and on Steam Gifts. Average income is a good indicator for some things - but might not be a sure-fire 100% proof way of "equalising" when it gets to stuff that isn't essential for human well being, and games are not.
I'm all for making a way for people to donate region-restricted gifts, and I think what shspvr wrote (Gameminer way) would be a good idea. But please, don't bring old argument about region prices here - we already had that when Steam implemented them and region lock.

Lead your army and take the Europe, what are u doing ?! lazy emperor !

Im pretty sure Estonia is part of EU and use euro's, so, ur fault.
