Countless games suddenly "No longer available"?
So I'm checking my wishlist during the autumn sale and all of a sudden more than half the games on my wishlist are dead links with no image or indicator of what the title or games were, and instead there's just a ton of blank pages that say "Game no longer available". Is this a bug or did valve do a massive purge or lose a bunch of licenses or something? I wish I at least knew what the games were

Steam recently did a silent update to the wish list so that any games that had previously been removed or hidden from the store now show up in your wish list so you can remove them yourself at the click of a button.

To find out what the game was right click on the game and chose copy link address. In the link you copied you can see the games APP ID number. Now go to steamdb and enter the id number there and it will show you what game it was.

Are you in Germany? I believe any game that doesn't have an official age rating set on Steam is no longer available in Germany.
