I GUESS this version of game was removed from Steam Store so the program can't get price data and returns 0, so you got 0 points.

Aviso: This version of Ori and the Blind Forest is no longer available. Please see the new Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition

That's why

Is like this Mortal Kombat Kollection (0P), just chill and leech give more games.

Hmm, maybe contact support? I don't know if they can manually force a game back to a custom value.

I tried to contact support but they have yet to respond/ fix issue and that was 1 month ago.

Did the Key activate the normal or definitive edition?
Maybe the would change the game to the definitive edition, that would solve the problem

Still, I think they cost the same, maybe the support would change to it to solve the problem

Actually, this is a global problem. Just took a look - I have 5 (!) giveaways that cost 0 points. And that's only me, and I'm anything but not a generous giveaway creator. This needs to be addressed somehow, but support is overloaded already, and cg doing all the cool stuff for the site alone... So I don't really know how to solve this. I can imagine a solution where steamgifts would store last non-zero price of a game, this would prevent removed games become 0p in the future... But that would not solve the problem for the games that already affected.

SteamDB price history could be used. In fact switching to steamdb as the price source would also solve the issues related to discounted boundles temporarily inflating prices.
