You can’t gift Counter-Strike: Global Offensive during the Summer Sale

I wanted to buy a copy for my buddy yesterday and I saw that the game was not giftable at all, I couldn’t even buy it to my inventory. It just said I already have the game and can’t do that. Meanwhile people on reddit were going nuts and some guy from Valve responded with this:

This is how you get the alternative stores more popular Valve, not the other way around. People will always chose the cheaper option.
