I think you can ask support to manually add the game. There is a support ticket option for "Add game to list".

There are a bunch of removed games that still give full cv or reduced cv e.g. Your Doodles are Bugged! still gives reduced cv.

I'm pretty sure it has always been that way, at least for a few years. When a game is removed, it is no longer in the Steam API, so support has to manually add the game and they set the last know price to calculate CV. There might be certain situations where the game gives 0 CV, but I don't remember.

This was the process for giveaway list management ever since I joined the site:
In short, there's no staff/site bias whatsoever against removed games, it's just that there's a technical/manpower issue related to managing their giveaway listings efficiently. As for your impression, it'd make perfect sense in the context of <games that've been removed but still retain a store page>: Those are ones staff can take years to decide that the games aren't coming back to Steam and, in the meantime, they retain automatic syncing (providing $0 CV all the while). The CV is of course retroactively corrected once the listing is manually edited, if the game doesn't come back (and assuming the community keeps sending in tickets reminding staff to give it proper consideration in that regard).
