Does anyone know if a gift purchase is linked to the e-mail you send it to? I ask because I don't want my gift to be received until Christmas day.
On Steam, I would just make it a gift purchase and send the e-mail to myself, then I would print the e-mail and package that as the "gift" so that they could redeem the code and link it with their own Steam account. I tried the same thing on Impulse once and found out that the e-mail I sent the gift purchase to (my own) was then linked to the game, meaning I essentially had two purchases of the game linked to the same e-mail account. :/
