Georgia in EU only giveaways

Open
Avarly

Lately I've noticed that Georgia keeps popping up in a lot of giveaways intended only for people from the European Union regions.

For many developers/publishers, for some reason, Georgia is still part of the CIS, which is why it is almost always included only in RU+CIS subs. It means that almost all EU keys won't activate in Georgia.

So, why people keep doing it?

It's in the Humble Bundle Europe preset.

If HIB keys for EU work in Georgia is there something to fix on Steamgifts side?

Maybe SG should do something as the keys don't work?

Yes, because mostly all Humble Choice keys for Europe always look like this: https://steamdb.info/sub/1322274/

As you can see, Georgia is nowhere to be found.

It is annoying that HIB itself does not show region info on their store page.

From the Steam perspective, Georgia, like Ukraine, is part of the CIS, which is not so politically and factually, but they are still (relatively) poor countries, so there is no point in adding them separately in some other region. This does more harm than good, but it is what it is.

I don't expect that something will be changed and how many users are influenced from it? 2, 5, 13 ? I don't expect high numbers.

Try it, like Oppen adviced, with a support ticket.

Maybe relevant, but on steamdb for this package https://steamdb.info/sub/4511/ it says:

This list includes a country in the European Economic Area, which allows this package to be activated in any EEA country.

Georgia is not (yet) part of the EU and/or EEA.
