Also question: How exactly do you gift to people to in countries that have more than a 10% price differential? Do you just have to search for something on their list within that range?
Apparently steamprices has closed down a while ago. RIP.

I've been told you can use
https://steamdb.info/

Or just purchase steam keys from external sites (humble bundle, fanatical etc) - those should mostly work (people in the thread generally list their region for this very reason)

$8.99 USD / Bloodstained 2
$0.99 USD / 6-year-old minimum tier bundle game, Dex (2015)
$1.00 USD / 4-year-old minimum tier bundle game, Cat Quest (2017)
____________
$10.98 USD
On my end, both Bloodstained 2 and Cat Quest are priced at 33 NIS (10$) each. Dex is 7 NIS, or 2$. Neither game is currently part of a bundle. As to gifted games having been in bundles at any point in time - we can have this conversation in private (on steam or via PMs).

It's also a weird point to be made by someone who curates a wishlist that is either brand new releases or a handful of below-minimum, never-been-bundled, steam-exclusive games - effectively insulating oneself from being treated in like manner to how they want to treat others.
My wishlist probably doesn't have a lot of games that are in bundles, yeah. If game I want is in a bundle, I buy it, and it's no longer on my wishlist. Obviously.

The other part is outright nonsense - I consistently wishlist games that are either the exact train ride minimum or add up to the exact minimum. Added a couple during this sale precisely because my wishlist grew dangerously short of cheap games.

Huh. That's a fairly big jump from "It's a breach of *etiquette*, not *law*" to "we're the TRAIN WATCH". And from the reasonable to the aggressively paranoid.

Genuinely had no idea that sklurb blocked me anywhere prior to this rant. Feels like the sort of thing that communication might have helped resolve.

Anyway. I never made a secret out of using a lot of fanatical and humble codes - I'm gifting from Israel, and direct gifts are often blocked by regional differences. I've done my best to gift well above the train minimum, accounting for regional differences, particularly over the last few years.

I did assume (and checked with others) that a game is valued at its current price on steam \ humble \ fanatical (The giftee wants to have this game at present, and probably doesn't have a time machine to go back and purchase it some years ago). However, I can understand why someone might think otherwise and value games at their lowest possible cost.

Thus far to the reasonable concerns.

I enjoy gifting people. I gift people who add me from specific threads, I gift people who add me in general. I gift people on the gift train (obviously) and I gift people who add me to gift me things on the gift train. Gifting as many people as possible is in fact the point of the exercise, as far as I'm concerned.

The days when I'd manage to gift over a hundred people per sale are long behind us (RIP dead gay forums), but I generally still manage to gift dozens of people every time. As a way to scam my way into 3-6 train rides, I probably have a better use for my time. (I don't even play the vast majority of games I receive. Which isn't a positive, per-se, just that the bizarre scheme described has practically no benefit).

As to getting banned in 2013 (12, 11, 10) - I've also been caught letting classmates copy my paper during my matriculation exams and was nearly expelled from the Hebrew U for my laissez-faire attitude to intellectual property.
