Made giveaway. Checked inventory, game is there. Giveaway ended. Game is... not there?

I just had a weird experience.

I made a giveaway last night. Payday. Nothing special. Got a four-pack, one for me and three for gifts. Pretty standard I guess. Actually I did this a while ago. Last night was the last copy.

I knew it was in there, but I looked to make sure. Payday, and two coupons nobody wants.

This morning I get home. GA has ended, click here yadda yadda yadda. So I copy the email and click over to Steam...

Only the coupons are there. No indication that there was a game there. Portal 2 has its own inventory (why?) and that has nothing, and Steam's is 2 (the coupons). Clicked over to my profile, then back to inventory... now the game is there. Whew!

I guess I would have had to buy the game to gift it within the 7 days had it legitimately (or rather illegitimately) been taken out of my inventory... and I suppose I would have done so... but damn.

Anyway, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all!

Portal 2 have in-game item for collection (wearable).

Its normal Steam inventory acts that way, just need a few refresh.

That's just steam being steam, during sales, missing/glitched inventories but temporary stuff though. If your copy did disappear for real and you know you bought the game legally, a ticket to steam support and a bit of waiting should get your game back.

Merry X'mas :)

Steam inventory servers are shit right now, they fail to display half of the stuff every time. Try force f5-ing next time it happens until everything is shown.
