So I bought the Screencheat 4 pack from the Humble store and I have a couple copies to gift. The only problem is I can't find Screencheat in the drop down menu, so I can't create the giveaways. Also, the extra copies expire at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on December 26, 2014 so I hope this problem is solved before then.

It was removed because previously people were giving away beta copies that would expire and be removed from user accounts. It sucks, but you will need to find another way to get rid of them. Check your friend list for who wants it.

Well that's stupid. They remove the option because some people can't follow the rules?

Plus, it seems as though the month-long beta started August 4th which means it's long over by now.

A lot of people didn't follow the rules, enough that it wasn't worth keeping it. There wasn't any real ones up except for a single group giveaway.

Generally, when a game is removed, its gone for a long time, because idiots sit on keys. If they didn't read the site rules, do you really think they listened to the site with free keys that said they would expire? They would just pop back up, unfortunately.

Even if you could convince Support that it should be returned, it takes a while for CG to get around to such most of the time (I've requested a title be returned as well, gave up after two months).

You won't be able to do giveaways in the time you have, accept that.

Are the beta keys still even redeemable at this point now that the full game has released?

No, but idiots who don't read rules didn't read that. They just leave the keys in a text file. then they see the game return, and we got giveaways for expired keys.

Hell, after Metro returned the first time, I saw giveaways for 10+ copies, after people sat on keys for more than a year.

Just send in a ticket to support, they could always add it back onto the giveaway list.

Rinarin and Crossbourne can! At least for games missing from the list, not sure about ones that were removed.

As long as it's stupid it's the only way considering that there are only like 3-4 people actively dealing with Support issues on SG now.

Ofc it would be sweet if it would just remain in drop-down list and support would just deal with people creating beta GAs, but look at it from a different side - there were hundreds of these rule-breaking GAs - dealing with them all one-by-one would mean hours of work. Then another hours of responding to ticket people would create "why am I suspended? Why did you delete my GA? I didn't know I break the rules! I didn't know it's beta key. I gave away non-beta key yet you deleted GA. Please unsuspend me!" totally paralyzing support and causing even longer response time that it is right now. Because of lack of manpower the only reasonable solution in cases like this is to delete game from drop-down list - ofc it will hurt several ppl and it sucks, but otherwise - leaving it - would harm whole community.
