Edit: Oh, jesus. I accidentally posted the thread utterly unfinished. Give me a sec.

On Steam. I'll take wishes from 5 good little children who sit on my lap and don't rip off my magic beard. Just go easy on Santa this year, because all the elves died and Santa's not up to paying full dong for things.

You can also use this to pick out a sale item Just make sure to tell me if what you want is from here.

Meaning, you may not approach 59.99 or higher...and it must be a sale item. Let's hope the wishes don't climb high...

Post your wish here. If you are not one of the 5 first good little children, I always have a bowl of candy you can choose from.

DinkKiller (Lordshadowz): South Park: The Stick of Truth.
JugglingDink (ManlyTeaBag): Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
CocoMonkey (timthreethreethree): VVVVVV.
Leprochaun (Leprochaun, huehuehue): Stanley Parable.
ExDeathEvn (Ex-DeathEvn): Crypt of the NecroDancer.

South Park: Stick of Truth or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I'd prefer South Park. They're both under $30 right now but I'm broke as hell My Steam account is linked to this, and off my wishlist, those are the games I'd like most. Be awesome to have a new game to play for Christmas.

You're awfully nice to do this. If I were to pick something, it'd have to be something I could only play on the computer. Like The Stanely Parable. That game sounds really interesting and I've been wanting to play it.

That's very kind of you, sir.

It looks like a few days ago Steam started region-locking games, so you might not be able to gift games to other countries? Hopefully this isn't affected.

If this is true, a million points lost for Valve, and I encourage you to torrent the games you wanted.

Alright, this is worded terribly. I have no idea what they're meaning with this region lock. Guess you have to find out if the item can't be used and then take it to them demanding an answer so they can either paste you a generic response or say "You should have read the terms of service."

Corporate America. Hope you're liking it, world.

From reddit:

Gift is locked only if bought in restricted region. USA and EU are both NOT restricted. So you can buy game in EU and gift it to anyone - australia, japan, russia, etc - they will be able to redeem it.

I have also seen things where the ruble is declining or some shit, so this region lock is only for Russia gifting to other people. I don't know. Come to your own conclusion because Steam obviously doesn't want to inform their consumer base the proper way.

And before Punisher comes in to scream "I told you so, Valve is evil and Gabe is a smelly jew", I get it. But you know what, there's very little american companies that aren't greedy shitstains. The ones that aren't get curb stomped by the big guys. I'll call out Valve as much as any other shitty company.

By what I understand, the idea is to prevent people from abusing the system by buying games from countries where they're much cheaper, Russia, Asia, what have you.

Sucks reindeer balls if you're actually IN Russia and want to gift games to your friends, but US and Europe are among the most expensive places to begin with, so games bought in those regions shouldn't be affected. At least for now. Give the devil a little finger, and he'll take the whole hand...

If you already bought games and didn't get a warning about them being region-locked, then you should definitely be fine.

I will send shit directly at 12:00 because why not.

Hopefully ExDeath will be able to redeem his game. Everyone else should be able to unless I am not correct in what I think this region lock means and the UK is somehow screwed too.

It appears ExDeath was able to redeem his gift. I appear to be immune to the region locking. I shall assume this applies only to Russians gifting games as everyone there is rich now.
