[Bug] SG hides giveaways if the game has no store page and you have filtered for a specific OS

Open

Like the title says :)

Seems to have at least these two prerequisites:

  • Game has no steam store page
  • "Filter by OS" in the account settings is set to a specific OS and not "All"

But there seems to be another criteria, because it seems only to affect some titles.

Known affected giveaways:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Race: The WTCC Game + Caterham Expansion
The Ship - Complete Pack

So if you are one of the people like me who set their OS to "Windows", it's better to change it to "All", so that you don't miss out on some giveaways :)

You mean I can use this to filter out all the removed games?

Hm...I just did a quick check with a removed game, but it didn't work.
So here has to be another reason, why some titles are hidden and others are not :/
Edited the main post and added some titles that are hidden automatically.

Check special characters, the games you list all have colons, pluses or dashes in the title.

Hm..I didn't notice that.
Would be nice if that's the problem, because that seems easy to fix :D
I will look out for other titles to see if your theory is correct :)
Thanks!
