Steam?s gifting feature has been very useful over the years but the system is open to some abuse, whether it be ?gift sellers? on sites like G2A, or cheaters buying games for secondary accounts. However, it looks like Valve is now catching on, as it has been announced that Steam Gifts will now come with some new anti-cheat restrictions.
Going forward, if you gift a game to someone and that user goes on to cheat in that game, you will no longer be able to gift that game to anyone. This essentially hits two birds with one stone, those selling cheap copies of CS:GO as gifts will no longer be able to do so if just one person uses that game to cheat. It should also put a dent in the rampant use of secondary Steam accounts to cheat with.
