Supposedly it's not really broken, but Valve disabled it for the time being due to the fact that people could bypass their Escrow / confirmation bullshit with it.
Basically if someone had their account taken, then the hijacker could gift away the person's items to some alt, and there would be no issue with having to confirm anything since it's a gift. Plus, since you can remove gift text now, it wouldn't even devalue anything in the eyes of the hijacker or anyone else. I don't know how true that is, but there was some discussion about it here: http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/47275-psa-gift-wrap-and-giftapults/ In that thread there's a link to some Reddit post where some guy apparently had the above happen to him. -----Original Message----- From: ED-E <[email protected]> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Jan 8, 2016 1:26 pm Subject: Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released Gift Wraps are broken since "Tough Break" update. You cannot wrap items anymore (this is tested by multiple people), you hear the sound, your see the counter going down, but that's about it. I tried to inform last year via TF Team contact from the website, support ticket and in the TF2 forum (where already were couple of threads), but after seeing this patch it seems to be ignored, thus I give this here a try. So please fix. Am 07.01.2016 um 23:40 schrieb Eric Smith: > We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The update notes are below.
