Why there is no option to giveaway W40k: Dawn of War Gold?

Many people (i think) have keys from Amazon and keys are different to W40k: DoW GotY, so why i cannot add this game?

It's because of how the steam store consolidates items, the GOTY is the primary item on that page so that is what shows up in the giveaway list.
The Gold version is the same as GOTY with one added DLC (Winter Assault),

so please submit this as the GOTY and make a note in the description that it is the Gold Edition and the Winter Assault DLC is included

I talked to cg about this, that is where this information is coming from

A shame that will limit entries. I want to give it to a group of people myself, but I want it open to both those with and without the base game.

Well, no hurry. I'll see how support responds to my waiting ticket for now.

And how long did you wait? This stuff isn't instant. One person can add games to the giveaway list, and this isn't a paying job, he can't dedicate his time to giving us everything we want from it.

But, then the giveaway counts as a bundle giveaway, when (although semantically debatable) it isn't.

Uhh... Winter Assault is an expansion, not a DLC.

Read this and this. Bobofatt speaks the truth.

Some days ago I submitted a ticket asking if I should make a Dawn of War GOTY giveaway (instead of the actually unavailable Dawn of War Gold Edition one), or if I better sit and just wait for Gold Edition re-added in the list. Mike replied: "please wait for the game to be added in the drop down menu".

So please do not submit this as the GOTY, just wait for the game to be added back in the list.

I already submitted a ticket to support about it. They wanted me to prove it's available on Steam (the Gold pack) and I did.

Then MoneyHypeMike repsponded:

"I have added your request to the queue."

It's been over a week now and still nothing.

One more week and I'll submit another ticket. How hard it can be to add a game to the list?
