Whats going on with my Steam Wishlist?

[meowdame_Sola]

A few days ago Steam started graying out some games on my wishlist. What's that supposed to mean?
So the graying out itself is still possible - but some are completely gray and the name isn't even displayed anymore, so I have no idea what game it actually was. That's super annoying!!
Many others now suddenly say “not available in your region” even though some of them were titles that hadn’t even been published yet! I find this super disturbing and hope it will be fixed or undone.


PS: I know there are some posts for the Wishlist theme but they have more than 50+ comments and i just don't want to search all the comments before i get a clear answer, whats going on.

If your from Germany, as of November 15th 2024, Your country requires all video games sold to have a age restriction notice on them. Games that do not have this info provided by the publisher / developer, will be removed from all store fronts.

Yeah i'm from germany...
fr? Thats so annoying! I know how important a safety handling with games in fact of child security is but c'mon. Will the games come back for us if they bring an age restiriction later on?

To add to this:
the titles with grey names are the ones which are blocked in Germany because of no age rating.

The entries with no title are games that have been removed from Steam completely.
Previously they were hidden but still counted for your wishlist number,
now they have been made visible so that you can remove them.

Yes, they will. But some old games might be abandoned.
