Buying someone a steam game without a steam account
I deleted my steam account with with 1k games on it recently because I wanted to combat my video game addiction.
I want to gift a game (specifically artifact) to a friend, he has a steam account and I don't. Is there a way to buy him a key or something like that so I can send him the game without having steam?

There are two ways that come to mind. 1 is to give him a gift card (as Frank mentioned in his comment), the other is to make a new account and gift it to him through it, and then delete that account (which is probably more complicated since I believe you will have to re-friend him through that new account)

Unfortunately those seem to be the only options since Artifact is one of the rare games that's not available on things like GoG or Humble.
