No, this is the reason they get removed. It will be fair game if they get added back, but I wouldn't count on that happening soon.

Don't listen to him, you can give away this game. Nobody cares you got this game for free from some other site.

Actually they do care, which is why when games are given away free like this, they are removed and people who try to get their giveaways up usually have them deleted.

TopBanter can drop the serial number in the forums, but as for making a giveaway for it, well thats just asking for trouble.

Besides it a free key, just add it to your account, who knows you might actually like the game. If you already have it, give it to a friend so they can experience the game.

"should not" is not the same as not allowed...
This is not free game, coupon or beta. This is just a game that is free on some other site (giveaway).
Jeez...

If this isn't free game, then what do you think this part refers to? F2P games? Why do you think guidelines tell you not to do something that's plain impossible?

You will get 0 value of the game anyway, so if you're only giving away for that, you won't find you CV there.

Beta keys, guest passes, coupons, and free games should not be given away. (http://www.steamgifts.com/about/guidelines)

Attempting to make a GA for it will result in being blacklisted and reported multiple times. Not worth it.
