Those restrictions were put into place to keep users from taking advantage of localized pricing by purchasing games in regions where they're especially cheap—Russia, say—and then transferring them to accounts based on regions where they cost a great deal more. But now they've been extended to cover not only where games may be activated, but where they may be played.

The restrictions may also apply to more than just gifts: A user who purchased Skyrim while he was living in Ukraine found that it wouldn't run when he moved back to the US; ironically, he couldn't re-buy it until he contacted Steam support and had the original key deleted from his account.
This part is bullshite, better hope you're not a big PC gamer with thousands of dollars in games and take a job in a different country.

Yeah.....I would like to think that they'll allow for a limited number of license exceptions if you are upfront about it going forward.
