Still show games that are free in list of game in create a giveaway

SteamGifts

yes, it´s a recuring suggesting...as said many times, this would reduce, not all but many, wrong giveaways with DLCs or similar titles, and also answer the many "why can´t i give...."-questions

maybe you make your "or .".section bold and bigger, cause i guess 70% of the readers here just stop reading after the first half

Steamgifts mods/admins have said they aren't going to do 0 CV giveaways for free games because of server load, extra support tickets, etc. I do think it would save a lot of hassle if free games were displayed in the list when making giveaways but with a note explaining why a giveaway can't be made. But I have seen it suggested many times before - maybe it will happen one day.

Theoretically, it shouldn't be too hard to do a check once a game is selected, and then add a 'This game has previously been free and is invalid for giveaways.' message below the game selection box.

It's irrational to think that the average user would have a good grasp on every freely available game out there, or to assume that every once-free game posted was obtained through free means [and thus is a 'scammy' offering].

Far better to be straightforward about it, that way there's no doubt when someone is being deliberate versus making a mistake.

Also saves a lot of stress and effort for everyone involved.
