It was posted a few times and I guess it was removed because of this rule:
When posting links or content, that content should not force users, encourage users through reward, or primarily exist as a traffic source for users to perform an action for promotional, commercial, or monetary benefit. Such actions include but are not limited to clicking a referral link, liking a Facebook page, following a Twitter account, joining a Steam group, completing a survey, or making a donation. (Please note, in giveaway descriptions we do allow users and developers to link to their related Steam Greenlight, group, and store pages, as well as their social media channels. Users are also able to reference their group giveaways when posting in the Group Recruitment category of our forum.)
Anyway, the game got 90% discount once, like $1.49

Every year on the day you joined Steamgifts, you will see a cake symbol next to your username on the forum. Some SG users say, "Happy cakeday", or "Happy factory day" because the symbol also looks like a building with three chimneys.

Been on my wishlist for awhile, stories that is. Super excited. Thank you for posting!

Games that are on a lot of peoples' wishlists get noticed by algorithms as popular and put in front of a lot more people as a result.

As for me, games from my wishlist have priority over other games and, considering its size, on most sales I buy games only from my wishlist. Also I almost never remove games from wishlist. So, being in wishlist greatly increases chances of game to be bought (and even to be considered for purchase). I bet there are other people with similar behavior.

Same, but I'm going even a bit further: instead of going about actively marking stuff as "not interested" all of Steam catalogue is "not interested" except for the titles on my wishlist. I won't play others, won't add them to my library, won't trade for them, won't enter GAs, and certainly won't buy stuff outside my wishlist. Okay, there's going to be some titles I'm yet to add on there but after going through thousands of titles on Steam they're fewer and further between these days. :D So if I've already heard about a game and it's not on my wishlist there's almost 0% chance for me to buy it.
I also like looking through other people's wishlists, especially if they play similar games. Its often easier to trust someone else's opinion: if the person likes my favourite games such as X, Y, Z and has wishlisted P which looks kinda interesting, I might as well wishlist it too.

But isn't that natural effect of game itself being interesting to you? Having game put there only because you get other one for free kinda defeats its purpose.
If game does not interest you you will either ignore it, or remove it from wishlist after getting freebie.

Yep, don't wishlist stuff I'm not interested in. :)
As for this particular game and scenario, probably will wishlist because I want the art books for both games and you only have to wishlist it for the few seconds it takes to get a screenshot -- undecided on keeping Omensight however. It does sound interesting but I'll have a proper look when I get on my computer.

Just to answer my own question: yep.

Your current links and message seem to be within our rules. When posting something like this, you want to be sure your message serves as a notification and not an endorsement/prompting. "Those of you who want to do X can get Y in the process" is usually fine. "Do X and I will reward you with Y" is usually not.

The main points are:
I have tried to explain the rules clearly, but my mind is "cloudy," right now. I hope I haven't made any mistakes or overlooked anything. P

Sorry but it feels bit arbitrary to me.
If user gets game key sent to his email because he manually does screenshot and sends it through email is fine.
But if user gets key directly on website by clicking one of few links there it is not....
So it is ok only if its bit inconvenient?
PS
Its not like have something against this "quest for wishlist". Tbh I feel that others like gleam.io ones are forbidden to harshly...
The other day I posted gleam.io link where all you had to do to get freebie inside f2p game was to open youtube video. You could do more but ti wasn't required. Yet thread was closed swiftly exactly because of this rule here.

You misunderstand. Effort required to get a game key is irrelevant. What is relevant is the content of a user's message on SG.
Every day, there are users on the Net who have never heard of SteamGifts. They jump through multiple hoops, even installing applications and participating in surveys, just to get a game key. That is their choice and what actions they perform on other sites has nothing to do with SteamGifts.
What is relevant to SteamGifts are the actions our users take while on our site, and posting messages is included. When a message is posted, it must fulfill various criteria, and these are spelled out in the Guidelines and FAQ. In this conversation, we are specifically talking about ...
If you are wondering whether or not your message is acceptable, check for those three things. If you feel certain your message includes none of them, your post should be fine. Grigolia's original post adhered to those restrictions, so it was fine.

Would you mind satisfying my curiosity and telling me what was wrong with mine then? I know its not good to question mod decisions, but i really fail to see how fundamentally different mine and original Grigolia posts are...
Feel free to add me on steam if you do. Otherwise, I guess I'll just drop the case. I can point my curiosity elsewhere :)

I do not yet know to which post you are referring.
