“Like the ability to buy and gift games” uh wut? >.>
Now maybe theres a misunderstanding in English but i can gif Games to my Wife and she aslo to me and we never had Issues really even tho were from different Continents :P
But i do agree with the Gift Card Abbility considering that even Steam has such -.-
Comment on Why is GOG not as succesful as a Gaming Alternative?

GOG is missing critical convenience features. Like the ability to buy and gift games. Or even just buy a gift card for their games. This would be a yearly buy for my nieces and nephews but there’s no availability. I keep asking. It keeps not being there.

That’s not right.
I have totally gifted Games via GOG in the past.
E.g. my nephew got KSP from me last birthday.
On the Game page it prominently shows a “buy as present” button.
Recipient doesn’t even need his own GOG account.
Perhaps some regional block?
Where are you from?

Is this a new feature? USA.

No, has been around for ages for me. Germany.

Looks like this for Games in my library, for other Games there is a checkbox for gifting later in the order process.
