How do I send gift to my friends in Europe?

[AsianFood]

I live in Asia in an area where games are cheaper then in the EU

I want to send gifts to my friends and I'm willing to pay the EU price for it

Is there a way for me to send them said gifts without going to some dubious steam key website?

For reasons I personally consider entirely & utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ braindead ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you can't, even if you're willing to pay the higher price. Your best option is a digital gift card.

It's a legal reason called bait and switch where they cannot charge you a different price then what you are shown in your local store prices and not something steam can fix.

Could easily be fixed by inserting a page of the likes

!WARNING!
This game is more expensive than what you've previously thought when gifting to that person (due to regional differences, in case you care). The new price is [insert price here].

DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY THE HIGHER PRICE!

If you're too dumb to understand what you've just read, do yourself a favor and cancel RIGHT NOW!

after selecting the recepient. Anyone not retarded can read this page and make their own decision whether to proceed or not.

I promise you there more than enough Re⭐s that can't/won't read the first sentence of any warning that in their face no matter how big, or flashy the warning is, and just either complain being overcharged, robbed, or tax/vat issues. Just like how there Re⭐s that runs to download virus, to get free cheats for CSGO only to get banned, then whines, or time people believe they get free stuff if they login to scam sites, or my favorite free v bucks lol.

... yeah, I know. And when enough ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cry, politicians react. I indeed do admit, I was kinda dreaming in the realms of "this would be easy to solve in an world not made complicated intentionally".

Yeah I dream of cheese too, but cheese not always that simple to reach as how we want it to be, there always people that ruin things for others especially when we were able to go gift and vice versa with Russia back in the day before gifting, and trade restrictions was a thing.
