How do I give away an unlisted game(s)?

Open

I have the key(s) for Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection (which are MK 1,2,3, I think) But the collection is not listed on Steam(??!) and therefore I cant choose it here either, it's not listed.

Thoughts?

If it was given away for free anywhere it cannot be given away here. It has to cost something to be given away.

If you got it from a bundle, then it's on the bundle list, which means that you'll get 15% of its value as contributor value. But you're still allowed to give it away. Games removed from the steam store needs to be manually re-added by support, but you should be able to request it. And it looks like this is a case of the game just having been removed (probably due to WB not wanting to spend resources on removing Games for windows live from it).

Ask support to make it available for gifting again (support tab up top->new ticket->add game to list)

Well if it is free as Taskmaster says, no need to give it away then.

Ah alright, I did not know that it had been available for free in the past. Oh well, at least you know what to do in case you end up with a game that was never given out for free, and that has been removed from the steam store.

edit actually, it does not seem like the game has been given out for free anyway. So you should simply send support a message and they'll make it available for gifting again.

Hm, I don't know, the fact that's it's not on Steam is suspicious, I don't wanna create a giveaway and then scr*w the winner if the key is not working or something. I'll probably leave it be.

Old keys can still be activated. And games getting removed from the steam store is nothing uncommon. Just recently I had to request a game getting re-added to the GA list.

I said IF IT WAS free. I do not know if it was. That is usually why games I have cannot be giveaways./ Did not mean to confuse

As far as I can tell it was never offered for free, it just automatically disappeared because it was removed from the Steam store. In that case it can be added back to the list if you create a ticket in the category "Add Game to List" to request it.
