Steam Gift Changes

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:

What if we already have games stored in the inventory? I've had a few gifted games in my inventory for over a year now...lol

Really? Valve back at it again ruining their platforms...

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

Honestly, all I can see is this is going to hugely impact the trading community. This is something that I imagine is highly traded. Game 4 game and shit. 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?

Rip, trading games is how I got started with metal and stuff on TF2.

You can still collect "keys" to hold them for later use, but trading them is much harder than gifts. This is a major blow to my game collection...
