Removed games on Steamgifts?

Open

I've been able to list a few removed keys, generally for stuff that still has a Steam Store page, but no price listed.

But, in this case;

https://www.steamgifts.com/archive/search?q=strike%20force%3A%20desert%20thunder

Steam store page is at:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/444210/

... was it given for free? Is there a 'master' list somewhere for all free games that aren't allowed on steamgifts (I couldn't find it using discussion search)?

Is this something that was entirely removed from Steam store and readded later (without a price?)... could that account for it not being in giveaway list?

Anyone know?

thanks,

Yeah, it was apparently given away by IndieGala.

No, that was a different game. I got Desert Thunder (283330) from there. This is Strike Force Desert Thunder (444210)

My bad. I didn't open the Store page and just saw Desert Thunder between the % signs.

Easy mistake! The game even looks very similar at first glance, but different devs.

If its title is similar to a game that was given away by bucketloads, then the usually expected answer is that it was disabled because people started to post the freebie keys under its name. In this case, if sufficient time passed, you can send an add game ticket to support since they can forget to re-enable these.

Chivalry was free on Steam yesterday for 24h, maybe because of that.
