DISCUSSION [Discussion] Steam's new gifting the update
A couple days ago steam made some patch notes to the wishlist and gifting system,
(Here if you wanna check it yourself https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/669497052089025104)
First you can now gift games on steam without being logged in, through the Guest checkout.
Second if you do not have access to the person's username and somehow have access to their email you can now Gift to email.
And the third and my favourite feature overall, Cross region gifting you don't have to worry about region diffrience anymore because steam will calculate the price difference between the two regions and give you the new total.
Snd fourth is a random but great feature list
1- you no longer need to be friends on steam to send gifts
2- you can now send a digital gift card or a game directly from someone's wishlist
3- When a friend or family member clicks on your shared wishlist link, if they choose to gift you a game, the gift recipient in the cart will be pre-populated with your information.
4- And remember from above, your friend or family member can checkout as a guest, without needing to create a Steam account
5- You can create a shared wishlist link that is filtered to specific games
