Hi all
i wanna start of by saying that i already own ESO but i dont have it on steam, My dad gifted me a copy of ESO today and his gifted me many other games in the past but when i try and accept ESO gift i get this error : This item cannot be added to your library because it is restricted from your country. Anyone got any idea how i fix this? the game isnt region locked as far as i know and like i said i alrdy have the game installed just wanted to buy it on steam for the free copy of morrrowind that comes with it.

thanks

Better to contact customer support on this one.

It could be a limitation imposed solely by Steam too... I know for a fact that they have strong restrictions on cross-region gifting due to the fact that they basically "adapt" prices to the country when they switched to use the local currency for price listing.

I.e. I cannot buy a game on my region and gift it, say, to someone in Europe, for example... I know because I tried

But in this case, assuming both of you are in the same country I don't see how this could even apply, but even so, I thought I would mention just in case you need to contact Steam for solving this.
