I've noticed some games from Indiegala don't actually show up as Steam games when I try to create a giveaway. These games are on Steam. Why can't I create a giveaway, or is there a workaround?

Because they probably was given away for free some time ago.

If they have been free in the past, you are not allowed to create a GA. Search the forums to find out if they have been free.
Else, create a support ticket and ask for them to be added to the list.

Thank you. Someone else posted a link to a list of games that have been free, and these are on there.

I didn't get them for free. They were part of Indiegala bundles that I purchased. I didn't know that steamgifts didn't allow giveaways for games that had been given away for free elsewhere. Thanks for the assumptive feedback, though.

Not sure how up to date this is, but here's a list of free games/cannot create: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/pJRbR/

Last post I can see that is fully up to date from a quick scan was January 27th, 2016 so it should be decently up to date

Thanks! This is exactly the info I needed. Turns out the games I can't create giveaways for are on there. Didn't know about this.

Maybe if you state the games you have in mind, people can tell you why they're not in the list.

If you really want to give free game (no CV for you like that), you can give it here:

You can always make a puzzle for the game keys.

I like when people do that. I just don't have the patience to create one myself. Good idea though.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

People that missed the chance to get them for free or in the bundle may be interested in trading other bundled games for them.

Eh, I'm not really looking to trade. I'll eventually drop them in that Orphan Key thread that kev3100 pointed out. Thanks for the suggestion though.
