that game will become available to be given away again because it just has status of "purchase-disabled" or "removed from Steam Store". it's not given away for free.
when game gets removed or purchase-disabled from Steam Store it disappears from the ga-list. Usually requires someone making a support ticket to request it to be added back,otherwise it can take forever before someone in the staff notices it is missing
edit: it's back on the ga list now

about Complete Figure Drawing Course HD: 036 - The Invention of The Spine - Part 6
-The series typically have 1 main App and you recognize it as having App Type 'Series' in this case: https://steamdb.info/app/494900/
-Then every episode of the series are technically same as DLCs for game Apps: https://steamdb.info/app/494900/dlc/ App type is usually 'Video' but it's not necessarily so, can be anything.
-So every episode of series is an individual App, and finally we never buy Apps on Steam, we always buy Subscription packages, and in case of series, it's always case-specific, some allow buying whole series at once, and/or as seasons, and/or even individual episodes/DLCs can be sold. -in case of this particular series, all of those options seem to apply:
-but main thing: episodes 1-19 of this are free
-the rest of the episodes can be purchased in all-in-1 package, and/or various kinds of packages, including individual episodes (but not necessarily via Steam Store, but as CD Keys)
Command and Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising Trailer
-All "Legacy Media" stuff are considered "junk Apps" afaik. Look at steamdb for this: https://steamdb.info/app/5415/
-there is 1000's of these https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app&q=&type=8&category=0
-app type "Legacy Media" cannot be owned, it's just a strange way how Steam Store trailers are stored as Apps in the Steam database, most (if not all) of them show up as Apps via Steam API, and they appear 'Free' because they cannot be purchased/owned, they are actually 'Not Available'. My guess is that 'Legacy Media' Trailers are wrapped in some kind of video player executable - for example, look at depot https://steamdb.info/app/80443/depots/ and config infos: https://steamdb.info/app/80443/config/
Do not belong to this list:
Verdun 4 Pack (i would assume SG support agrees if request to add the giveaway list)
Lords Of The Fallen Digital Deluxe Edition (same as above)
Project CARS (this package doesn't include anything extra, and SG only enables sub-packages to giveaway list when they contain many games in 1 and/or DLCs like GOTY, collector's edition etc versions)

Grappledrome was just released to Steam Store today, actually 3 hours ago as of typing message: https://steamdb.info/sub/147159/history/
perhaps your API is using some kind of cache instead of realtime check? Might explain why it would report as 'free' when it was actually 'Not Available" then?
This game has not been given for free anywhere afaik (yet) and this doesn't look like a game from some random shovelware publisher who would give tons of copies away instantly after it goes live in Steam. Anyway makes a nice case for observing how long it takes for new games to appear to SG. However, my guess is that it might be semi-automatic: when some of the users adds this game on their wishlist or library, and syncs their account with SG.

Thanks, I have merged your list into the OP.
And also corrected some spelling mistakes that your list has that duplicates with mine.
However I won't be adding those "API doesn't recognize" thingies because the OP are a list of games that cannot be given away due to past freebies. API-issue related games are either (1) can't be given away anyway, or (2) SG support will add them in if you ask them to.

I wrote a little script that uses your thread as source to display whether a game is banned while creating new GAs. I hope it's ok to cannibalize your work :-) If not, just say the word and I'll remove it.

It's cool! That should how a community be! People from the same community work together to make the community better.
I see that you use regex to crawl from the post, let me know if you'd like me to change the OP a bit to make it easier to crawl?
Glad that I kept the list consistent. hehe

Please don't or I'll have to change my code ;-)
Glad that I kept the list consistent. hehe
Me too :-D That actually was what gave me the idea for the script, to see that your list is clean and consistent and therefore easy to parse ;-)

Dollar Dash http://store.steampowered.com/app/214320/ can be given away again,
it was missing just because it is not possible to buy it from Steam Store currently (ie it is so-called decommissioned, removed or purchase-disabled item)

UPDATE: This thread is no longer relevant! This thread will stay for a while, once it sink to the bottom of the forum flood, I will close it for good. Thanks everyone who contributed to this list! And thanks cg for finally decided to allow free games GAs.
Original post below
Games that were once free or exploited are removed from the giveaway list of the game. But since the list is now an auto-suggest instead of a dropdown, it makes me waste time scrolling the list of games to find that the game is not in the list...
A list of un-creatable games would be helpful.
UPDATE: Another better suggestion in the comments, is to show ALL games in the list, but grey-out the un-creatable ones and add a tooltip that explain why it cannot be created.
Thanks Rinarin for providing the official list!
And SleepyCat for the follow-up on the updated list!
Current list of banned games :-
