~~You know how you sometimes you try to access a giveaway only to see this message:

You do not have permission to view this giveaway, since you're not a member of the giveaway creator's whitelist, or the required Steam groups.

A similar message appears when you're on the giveaway creator's blacklist. Regardless of the reason, this error always includes a hyperlink with the game name (in this case "Recursion Deluxe"), but it just leads to the same page. I think this is pointless, because you just see the same message again. It would be better if the link pointed to the game page on Steam. At least this way you would know what you're missing ;-)

Update: Royalgamer06 created a browser script that replaces the target of the link to a search for other giveaways of the same game. Much more useful! :-)

Update #2: Script now included in ESGST!

Where should the game link in inaccessible GAs (like in the attached screenshot) lead to?

View Results
The Steam game page
Itself (the page where the error is displayed)
I have a better idea, and it does not involve Dan Quayle

I completely agree, and have been thinking the same thing.

Yeah, the current behavior is really dumb -- even no link at all would be an improvement.

The giveaway should be visible but the Enter button should be disabled. There's no point in hiding the page itself.
