So I recently wanted to buy a game for a friend and send to him - want's to play CS:GO together. Searching down the whole STEAM site like crazy and realize the option isn't there. After some digging on the internet this was found. Opened a ticket with them on it as well - hoping to hear some reason as to why, and if there's any way to send a gift to a friend now.
The problem is that persons without a purchased game in their list can't add friends and can't be found on the friends list. Sucks and makes things hard.
*EDIT*
Got back a message from their support with this URL.

I'm waiting to hear back as to why this was done, and how would it be possible for me to buy a game for a friend that doesn't have a paid game. If you don't have at least one paid game you can't add friends or anything.
