Today I realized my level dropped because my "Trainz Simulator DLC: Aerotrain" giveaway is valued 0 CV now, and it's probably because it's not available in the store, but why only this DLC? I think the rest of DLCs are still available.

Why does sometimes the "Add to cart" button" is unavailable?

Will my CV be restored?

All points and Contributor Value stats for Steamgifts giveaways are taken directly from the store page of the game or DLC.

If the game's price is 0 or non-existent (don't quote me on that), then its "value" is reduced to 0 on Steamgifts as well. Since this is all on Steam and entirely out of the hands of Steamgifts, there is no way to know if, why and how the value was decreased and/or the DLC was removed, nor if and when it will return.

Thank you for your answer. ;)

Then what's the point of giving away removed games from the store? I have seen many giveaways of Windborne (for example), with 0P.

Well, I thought that whole point of this site is to give away games which contributors don't want for himself.

Well, not everyone cares much for CV, including me. I give away some cheap bundled games not because I want to level up, but just because I feel like it. :P

its a weird and confusing system to be sure.. people gave away castle of illusion which is now removed from the store, yet it still gives them 15p ¯|(ツ)

SG staff can set CV of games to their values before removal. But that is a manual task.
