GREENMAN / STEAM GIFT
So, i bought a game on green man. I want to buy the same game for a friend but greenman doesn't have a gift system. Can I sent this gift from steam? If dont, can I send the KEY?

You can give the product key to your friend if you buy it on GMG, I would think. You can only send Steam "gifts" if you purchase the game on Steam.

Like Canti said.

A key can not be redeamed on Steam as a gift in your inventory. It can only be added to your account.

But if I get this key and give it to my friend, it will be ok? His account will accept it?

Assuming you didn't activate it yet, it will work.

Are you 100% sure? I bought one for me and now I want to buy another for my friend.
Don't want to lose money, haha.

GMG will give you a key to activate on Steam. They have no connection to your Steam account. They have no way of knowing what account you activated the game on.
