Where is Metro 2033?

Yes, it makes sense. it was removed to avoid people getting CV from a game they got for free.

if you want to give the key to someone who miss the giveaway, just drop it on the forums.

As Roxas said, just drop the key if you want to give it so badly.

For those who have a Metro 2033 key that does not expires on November 21, they can always wait for the game to be re-added to the list. (I suppose it's bound to happen at some point?)

Or... you know... if you absolutely want to give away a game, you could just drop the key, be it on this very forum or anywhere else. No need of creating a GA for that.

But if you want to be part of steamgifts, you have to abide by the rules and rules say "no giveaways for games you got for free" and since people tend to overlook that because they don't read the FAQ, games get pulled off the list.

Besides, your idea of simply removing CVs for exploited games would probably only results in a lots of I JUST CREATED A GA BUT THERE'S NO CV, WHYYYYY!?!!1 posts instead of I CAN'T CREATE A METRO2033 GA, WHYYYY!??!1 ones.
