So I've seen some PAYDAY: The Heist giveaways out there just like you guys. I have never played the game before, but saw some of the gameplay and it looks really fun. Now the purpose of this site is to donate gifts to those in need (kinda) and receive gives from the generous people. Now with this Free Weekend for Payday, I cannot enter a Payday giveaway because it still thinks it's in my Steam Library.

Is there a way around this???

You just have to wait till sometime after the free weekend. And you need to re-sync your account here at that point too.

Pretty sure they didn't install the game during the free weekend. Yep, it sucks.

You don't even have to install it. It just counts it as in your library.

Their accounts didn't sync during the free weekend. Do a force sync in the middle of the week to hopefully avoid this in the future.

That's what you're NOT supposed to do, force syncing it updates your library

Won't help as it is that sync that caused the problem in the first place. He will have to wait a couple of days after the free weekend and then he will be able to sync without Steam reporting the game as being present on his account.

My friend wanted to buy me a game I wanted and he didn't because Steam said I already had it, because the free weekend.
It's pretty lame.
