Can you gift a game to someone who blocks you?
So I have a friend who blocked me over an arguement about 3 months ago. I can't contact said friend through anything else and it's close to being her birthday and I want to show that I still care by sending her something in hopes that she will open up to me again...

Can I send a gift with a message attached?

Can I send a gift at all?

If I can, will it show that it was me?

Or is it just wasting money on buying games for someone who won't know that I sent it, or won't recieve it at all?

Thanks.

If you have their email-id, I think you can send them the game through email.
Before you buy the game there will be an option to select the person you are sending the game to. So you can see for yourself whether you are allowed to send it to them or not.

Edit:
Or... make a new Steam Account, and add your friend and talk it through.

I think they have to be on your friendlist to send to the account directly.

You can always send the gift to any email adress and the rest can be via the links in the email. They will see your email.

Last question: Yes, probably.
If no one accepts the gift you can always send it to someone else..?

You can send it directly to their account if their still on your friends list, otherwise you can send it via their email address. Either way, you can attach a note but it doesn't allow much space so you'll have to keep the note short.
It will show who sent the game.

The reason why you got yourself blocked is that you think you can buy people.

Every your action has consequences and no matter what you do in the future won't eraze what you did in the past.

You ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and the best you can do now is not to bother her any more. You can only make things worse now. She most probably promised herself not to deal with jerks like that any more and one of those jerks are you. That's life. You managed without her for the past three months and you manage for the rest of your life.

You should have appologised right away, its way too late now. She has moved on and so should you. You would only look like needy stalker if you would start harassing her.

Okay.
First off, I'm not "buying friends." I'm trying to acknowledge my friend by continuing to send gifts that I would always give to anyone I consider a friend.

Second off, I didn't have any way to contact my friend. They blocked my steam, my skype, and my phone if that's possible, otherwise she is ignoring it.

Third off, I don't think that I would appear as a stalker considering that we have been friends for 7 years...


Fourth off, I don't need your stupid lectures on friendship. It's annoying and not helping anyone. My business is my business. I don't really want you telling me what I should and shouldn't do...

Move on, dude. She doesn't want anything to do with you. Have some self-respect. Stop spending money on people who don't care about you.

You did something really-really bad to her otherways she wouldn't be blocking you everywhere. You are not friends any more, deal with it.

Oh, I forgot that I asked your opinion... Where was it... Oh right.

I didn't.

I came to ask a question, not for you to lecture me on something that, quite frankly, you don't have any business lecturing me about.

I think you can, if you have their email ~ send it to them via email.

I know you didn't ask for that. But what you don't realise is that you can get restriction order for such stunt. If you are lucky. In U.S. particularly you have "e-bullying" laws now if i'm not mistaken. I gave you friendly advice because i care about you. She doesn't any more.

If you really want to solve anything then it would be safer to contact one of your common friends and try to explain them the situation. Maybe even organise a meeting. But if she still doesn't want to meet you then contacting her through Steam and email only upsets her even further. You might not like this advice but believe me when i say that if girls would really act like they act in your head then you wouldn't be in such a situation in the first place.

Peace.

You assume lots of things here, and try act as an smart-ass with superior morality, but you fail to notice there is tons of e-girls that actually sell theirselfs in exange of gifts, i know a girl that has thousands of euros in LOL skins from her "boyfriends" and i say this in plural cuz she cheat in atleast 10 boys at same time, and make all them gift she games, and this guy dont even said is his gf, so they might be actually really friends.

The fact you assume he is a needy stalker, makes me think you are the kind of e-girl that use boys to get gifts then block them until get a new game as gift, and call them a stalker if they dont obey her rules to cause him public humillation and get ride of the boys she used, as many thots do, if you dont want ppl assume things about you, stop defending that girl that you dont even know and who probably is just a thot that sell herself like most of girls do in the anonymity of internet. If he get some nudes or love words, even if are fake words, in exange of that gifts its not your bussynes so try get that cheap and fake superior morality out here, and help him if you want, or just dont be toxic and shut up.

Its cuz ppl like you that good, inocent and kind hearted boys that gives everything to his beloved friend, live scared of this laws and spent all their money in satisfy e-girls that pay them back with a restriction order when she got all she wanted from him. Defending her and threatening him just cuz he is the boy, just make you look like the typical millennial feminist that abuse the laws with fake demands withouth care about ruin the life of a good boy.

The relevant thing here is he needs help, and my suggestion is try contact his friend through other network, maybe use the chat of a game they shared. As far as i know you cant gift that, since you can only send gifts to the ppl in your friendlist or if you have their mail.

Necroing a thread from 2017, replying to a post made in 2017 by a user who hasn't posted since 2017 just to argue sounds like a great plan, yes?

probably not worst than join a chat just to criticize someone about something that has nothing to do with the theme. Typical re-eddit bot anti necro-post. get a life maybe ? or learn about talking withouth being the typical dude that spot what is correct or not correct to post on internet, things arent gonna change on internet just cuz you learned today what necroing means on the wiki.
