Within the last 4 hours, my bot had dozens of games disappear from its inventory. These games were not traded or stolen - they do not appear in the trade history or trade offer history. They simply disappeared.

The games include:

  • 13 copies of Garry's Mod
  • 4 copies of Castle Crashers
  • 4 copies of Gone Home
  • 6 copies of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  • 2 copies of Binding of Isaac
  • 9 copies of Space Farmers
  • 4 copies of Mount Your Friends
  • 2 copies of Bioshock Infinite

plus various other games.

If I view my trade-history and look for any of the above games, I can find the trade where I received one of the above games, but the trade is empty. Furthermore, previous copies of these games I traded away also show up as empty. For example, here is a trade I made earlier today, trading a copy of Garry's Mod for 2 keys:

http://screencast.com/t/ySER4odhFWiW

And here is (what I assume is) that copy of Garry's Mod in that user's profile:
http://screencast.com/t/j8RIyutS
http://steamcommunity.com/id/mrgiuli1t/inventory/#753

My trade-history is filled with similar empty trades.

Just a heads up to everyone else, if you have copies of any of these games you may want to check that they haven't disappeared...

Seems to be on a much larger scale now. And this affects more than just a couple of items.

Does anyone know what happens if I send one of the blank gifts to somebody? Could they still receive the game and add it to their library? I have a giveaway running and I'm worried there might be issues.

Without problem. Two of my games were appearing normaly and then, after sending, I got a blank gift. They arrived safely. I've also a giveaway going, but the gift isn't appearing on website while it's normal in steam client.

19 items (gifts) disappeared from my husbands inventory also. I hope that's only some temporary usual Steam bug, because I am really sick from Gaben's crap last months...

I just noticed this as well and have a couple of gifts that are 'blank'. Fortunately, I keep a list of any gifts in a text file so I can figure out what they are.

If you go to your inventory and press the "Send Gift" button you can see what game is that by the picture above

I just started a thread about this then got linked to here :P seems like many of us have the same trouble.
this is a screenshot from my inventory: http://tinypic.com/r/2hourty/8

You can see what games they are if you choose send them as gift or add to library option (don't worry it asks for confirmation before doing so)
But they are just empty blocks if you check within inventory, a bit troubling.

it happened to me a lot with saints row ultimate franchise gift, when I refreshed inventory it always wa fixed, but now it just lasts too long... starting to feel bad.
Also about new policy @DemiGoth - I don't think it's the reason, I bought those games (spend cash!), why would they disappear?
