It's not possible to add it if there's no Steam store page for the game

If it's not a Steam game, you can't give it away here.

Make a manual giveaway here in the discussions (you won't get CV for it).

What game is it so we can discern if it was removed or something.

I really wish people'd lead with details more often, rather than having people have to ask for them.
Which isn't pointed toward the IP, just the pattern itself being a bit odd.

The "My stuff is not working, please tell me now how to fix it" kind of troubleshoot requests? Those are my favourite.

"Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"
"My..brain?"
"....Yes."

I may have condensed a bit, but that's about the sum of those kind of requests :P

My stuff is not working, please tell me now how to fix it"

It reminded me of a newbie computer user question from Tech Support :

Customer: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
Tech Support: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"
Customer: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?"
Tech Support: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"
Customer: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
Tech Support: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"
Customer: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotion. It just has '4X' on it."
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CDROM drive as a cup holder and snapped it off the drive.

You could also do a forum giveaway for it instead? it won't award you CV, but you could set up some random game for us to play and enjoy, to pick a winner for the key.

They were all given away for free at some time so you can not make GAs for them

There is a list here but I'm not too sure how up to date it is. I'll keep looking

*edit according to Mullins this is the list to keep your eye on :)

As a good rule of thumb, if you got the game for free, you can't give it away. Or you shouldn't try to.

But sometimes it's tricky if the game is included in a bundle or was a price error on a certain site and you bought it as a steam gift so it may occasionally be an honest mistake

Pretty sure only the East India Company Gold Edition was the only one not listed in the store...The rest all are.

ETA: Never mind, I just realised they removed Pressure too. Wow!

Ditto for the other two, but on DLH. :)
