So is this group only about giving the information when it's too late, or are there any actual information on soon to be released games before they're removed?

I know it's hard to know because it's mostly unannounced but isn't there a way to know through steamdb apis when a demand for game removal has been made?

The only way to know when a game is getting removed is if a developer specifically states it, like with Alan Wake and Doctor Who: The Adventure Games. We can only anticipate removals based on a few factors we know will lead to removal, like licensed content or fake reviews. In the end, it's mostly guesswork and we have to make educated decisions. We try to provide as much information as we have but that's all we can do. As far as the api goes, we only know when the game is actually removed, removal requests are made by contact directly between valve and the developers/publishers.

My comment was not aimed at being a critic of the group, but rather of the limitations with a question about possible solution.

It's a shame that there is no way of anticipating but at least I guess we get to know on time which games to get on other platform before it runs out. Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to join the group in a few.

Has been for 10 days, I just discovered it with your post, but it seems to be too late to find a key.

Not sure if this is any help:

Yup that's what I was referring to: it's indicated as out of stock when you want to proceed to payment.

Hi, I'd like to be invited, especially if there are notifications for games about to be removed :)
