Hello,

I know this is late, but I never got around to ask this - what the hell is up with these logs of games being removed from steam. It doesn't seem that anything is missing, but still I would like to understand what provokes logs like this.

As for the giveaway, I can't give it away on steam gifts anymore but I will be using random.org to select a winner from anyone who replies to this topic. Entry cutoff time is in 2 hours :) from the time this topic goes live. Winner will be announced in comments, via reply and key will be sent to your email.

Note: This is a key from last months G2A, so you will have to activate it before April 10th. Also If you hate G2A you can mention in comments "not interested in giveaway", to give more chances to others :)

Edit: I actually failed bigtime and fell asleep lol. But since there aren't that many comments, I'm cutting off entries now. No further comments will be eligible for this giveaway Results will be announced this evening. Also I posted this same announcement in the comments so you know where the cutoff line is :)

not interested in giveaway
Some of these are removed from store games (temp or permanently) like Mafia 2, Nosgoth, or newer versions like Bioshock, Darksiders. Telltale changed most of their old episodic games steam page link (and therefore the appid) a lot so that explains that...
A few like ARK and COD are from free weekends like it mentions, your previous sync showed you had the game during free weekend but now you don't have it.
The rest I don't know tbh \o/

Thank you for the reply. Actually the free weekend wouldn't bother me, it's when I see 10s of games in one list :). But probably the change of appid is what caused this mostly.

I'm certainly interested in the giveaway. Pretty sad that I can't win a wishlisted game from giveaways now. :(
as Shanti said, so much changes behind the scenes of Steam's Distribution that it's nuts.
Just check out Steamdb.info/history/ and you'll see just how many changes there are.

It's pretty much been answered by the others:

  • A few games have actually been removed.
  • Some free weekend stuff clogs up the logs.
  • Lots of games change sub/id over time due to being repackaged, condensed, etc.

My log looks about the same.

I never use ITAD's log as it shows too many entries for games being added/removed.

+entry :)

I'm not familiar with the website so I'm afraid I can't be of much help, if that doesn't disqualify me I'd like to join the giveaway :)

I'd like to count myself in for the giveaway too.

Regarding the logs, I see the same thing. I usually look into the Stamdb info to make sure because the ITAD logs are a bit too overwhelming.

I guess this is over and your question's been answered, but if nothing else, this is a good opportunity to ask you about your profile pic -- where/what is it from?
