" You do not have permission to view this giveaway" error pages game link is useless

To keep it short: I'm using SG to get to know new games, besides trying to win the known ones. Yet when the giveaway can't be shown - The creator being blacklisted, me being blacklisted, not part of a group or wishlist - clicking the game's name just reloads the page. That serves no purpose.
The suggested change is small, as far as I know : instead of reloading the page / acting as a link to itself, clicking the game's name should load the game's store page. I'm 100% sure that there was, or rather there were suggestions like this one, and it would be a nice quality of life change to the site. No function would be lost, and a useful new one would be gained.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a script that does exactly that somewhere, couldn't give you the name though :P

ESGST does, I believe. At least, it offers a link to the Steam store page.

Oh, I found that and you're right, pretty sure I've not seen the option though.

I like this idea. SG is a great place to discover new games I may have passed over, and this suggestion would be helpful in that regard.

A good suggestion.
I use ESGST to do just that. You can try it if you're so inclined.

This is a good suggestion, plus it also "advertises" games.

Totally agree, this would be an awesome (and trivial to implement) feature IMO
