*Unless there are restrictions on gifting.

We don't own friends in this country anymore. B^)
Unless you mean pwn. That's perfectly valid.

One of these may apply to why couldn't gift.
- Game restricted in said region/country.

- Game cost more than 10% compare to another region/country for currency difference for regional pricing.

Is "giving unsolicited advice" the newest trend among award farmers? Didn't quite work out for OP.

This only works if you don't own the game already

No this is a real issue that I had and want to help others who are struggling to play with their friends.

How can this ever be an Issue? Go to Storepage, add to cart, and then choose Gift Option, you really need to be dense af to have an Issue with that.

I tried multiple times and it didn't work

Wait, what? Purchase before login? xD

I see the wording of the question was corrected. Thank you.
Also your steps will be quite useful to me in the very near future.
Too bad you can't just do that from in steam. All these hoops to go through.
