Title: Steam Gift Changes
Post by: Billy Bong (billybob41) on May 04, 2017, 09:38:21 pm: It seems they are removing the ability to store games inside your account's inventory... You may want to read more on this if you collect games or trade often:

Note: Pre-existing gifts will be unaffected by this change.

This will also hurt G2A a bunch because most games are not product keys but actually done over automatic Steam trade.

Maybe that is why they chose to do this?
