There are several reasons why a game may not appear in your SGI games list:
Family shared games don't appear in the games list by default, but you can add them to any of the lists (Card Farming, Achievement Unlocker, etc) by following these steps
Free-to-play games only appear in your library after you've launched them at least once, which grants you a license. Simply clicking \"Add to library\" on the store page doesn't grant you a license
Some demos and playtests (unvetted apps) may not show up correctly in SGI, or be able to be idled
The game may be marked as private on your Steam profile
The game may have been removed from the Steam store or your license for the game may have been revoked
The game was part of a subscription service such as an EA Play, and your subscription has expired
Some games may have region specific restrictions and you may not own the game in your current region
One or more of your Steam profile privacy settings is set to private.
