More "Steam is learning" apps, thanks for the report!

Perhaps you should create a new category for these (on top of DLC and packages) so that when these games finally gets out of the status, it's easier to go through them and remove them from the whitelist

Since all new games in Steam are "Steam is learning" apps is it possible to check if user owns game in some other way?
How it is done in Steam Web Integration script. It somehow knows that I have this game: https://imgur.com/a/vLDiDMR

That script uses http://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata/ (you can click on this link to view your data), but this is API for Steam only. There is no equivalent API exposed in Steam Web API (which is provided for 3rd party developer).

Since Valve seems on fire putting tons of games on the "we are learning about this game" list, I've updated SGTools so it checks for this status on the store landing on every game that is flagged as marked as not received before reporting it. If it finds that a game is flagged as "steam learning" it creates an entry on a list of such games automatically and then reports it in a new category inside not activated page.
This should solve all past reports for games in that status and avoid new reports for those not added to the whitelist. This means the whitelist will get reverted to not include those games, since there is now a new and better mechanism to treat them.
But everything is not perfect, as always there is an edge case where the detector can fail and still give a false positive, and that case is on games that are marked as 18+ years, since SGT uses an anonymous session for browsing steam store and then it can't check those games without validation on the year restriction.

Thank you Knsys for cleaning up most of the Volvo induced mess and have a good week! :3

Getting a false positive on The Wake, it might be because the game is now as "Coming Soon" or because "Steam is learning about this game".
If it is due to Steam learning ability, then it seems like SGTools check for "Steam is learning about this game" didn't work for this game.

I read that part and checked the page, but didn't find anything saying that is 18+, so I was confused if that was the reason. Also since I own the game, the message asking me if I'm of age doesn't show.
Thank you for the cake wishes ^.^

It's under the age check page, I've added to the Learning list, thanks!

Hey, I have another false positive to report. "The Initiate 2: The First Interviews" is in "Steam is still learning about this game" mode, and as such is causing me to show as having not registered a game. Can we get that added to the exception list?

seems to be a false positive

I tried entering an SGtools giveaway just now and it failed due to "unactivated wins". I'm just wondering why this might have happened because I've activated every game I've ever won. :/ I dont want giveaway creators to think I'm a rulebreaker because of this
Does it maybe have to do with either of these?

Square Head Zombies - FPS Game shows as not activated. game page doesn't have "steam is learning...", tho.
looks like a false positive
Comment has been collapsed.
Game is beings correctly reported by steam api and in fact you are not flagged by it.
Maybe steam corrected it already?
Comment has been collapsed.
i don't have it, but gave it away :D
i tried yesterday, with a "trusted" winner: "not activated". just tried again, same result.
thank you, knsys!
Comment has been collapsed.
Then it's a true positive, as I've checked 4 other winners and they don't flag.
Report it to support :)

(sorry for spam)
i'll check even more, but it seems to me that this happens only with recent giveaways (2 weeks ago, 3 winners all three "not activated").
checked a GA of 6 months ago (and more) and it's ok.... :|
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you asked the winners to check what game activated in the Steam account's history? Maybe the developer/publisher changed the appID or subID (or something) with the new batch of keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
yesterday a SG buddy asked me if i had any problem with those keys.
he said just what you've said (but forgot to write it, above :P): it seems that keys activate square heads zombies TWO, and not the first...
so, thanks a lot, Oppen, as usual. i'll ask "my" winners which one they got

False positive - https://store.steampowered.com/app/805940/RUSSIA_BATTLEGROUNDS/
I'm not entirely sure why as the game displays as owned in the store, doesn't look banned or delisted either.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's because the "steam is learning about this game" thing. This combined with an age check implies that SGT can't auto check it, yet.
