Why do some gifts have #economy_gift tag?

Why do some gifts have #economy_gift tag instead of the game description? Anyone knows what that means?

It happens, I saw a screengrab the other day and nearly all the storefront was like it lol.

I think it's just the way information is loaded from the database to the web portion <--- lol at me spot the techie.


A restart should fix it.

I restart the client, but still sees it as #economy_gift. Is this a bug or does the tag have any meaning?

It's a placeholder for the actual text for whatever language the site is set to. It's supposed to be replaced with the real text in English (or French, German, etc.) but for some reason hasn't. It's nothing to do with your client, so restarting will do nothing. It's basically a website, they have to fix it on their end.

The strange thing is that I saw someone else with the same game but it has the real text instead of #economy_gift, I wonder why it only affects certain copies since this is a server's side issue?
