Game packs showing up even though I own all parts in them (no giveaway)

As the topic says, I'm wondering if it's normal / wanted that I can see and enter giveaways for game packs where I already own all parts.
Recently this is mostly the Van Helsing and Orcs Must Die 2 packs.

Personally, I'd prefer to just not see them so I can concentrate on the games I do want.
In general though, I think it'd be fair if something were to be done to make these tag correctly as "exists in your account" when you have all parts. Otherwise people could just enter them forever and then regift their theoretical winnings.

Thanks for reading, leave a comment if you want.

That is normal, If you use SG+ you can just add them to your filter and ignore them though. And the gifter is responsible for checking if they own the games in the pack before sending it them, and it is a valid reason to reroll the giveaway.

He means...you cant Sync DLC,so ppl who got them still can enter GA for whole pack,then no need to activate+resend this to other/trade etc...but there is nothing to do with this,there cant be DLC syncing until Valve do this on their side

Thanks, that's actually a great reason.
Let's hope Valve'll fix that in their API in the near future then.

It isn't just a thing with DLC. I have games from bundles I bought wks/months ago that still show up. Since I use the Easy SteamGifts extension for Chrome, if I catch it (and the DLC), I just throw it on my blacklist so I do not have to see it. The system isn't perfect and still has kinks in it, but there are ways to deal/ignore it.
