Probably because it has Gabe Newel's face on it.

I hear it's too gold

cuz playing with this is like playing with all the hacks have ever been created, just toggle your GabeOn

because the texture should be randomized,and it cant happen with a face because that can only stand in that position

The only thing I can imagine is that Valve has to approve it but it hasn't approved it yet. Patience and it might be approved.

this answer is always a posibilty xD

I heard it was something to do with Valva can't add anything gold or that symbolises a religion

i dont think it has to do something with randomize the texture, the wings texture for the aug are not randomized!

A) Chances are that it didn’t meet one, or several, or possibly all of the guidelines listed below:

Promotional Designs: At this point, we’re not looking for designs that promote existing brands or companies. Designs should not advertise a person, team, company, organization, etc.

In the TF2 workshop, there's a Solemn Vow-type thing called the Gaben Vow. That was marked incompatible too.

I also can't find a reason :/ Volvo ༼ つ◕_◕༽つ GIFF AWGaben !

Q) My item just got rejected. Why?
A) Chances are that it didn’t meet one, or several, or possibly all of the guidelines listed below:
Obscenity: We will automatically reject any obscene items. (Don't even bother.)
Copyright infringement: Even if you made the pattern yourself, if you used an existing likeness, it’s copyright infringement. We can't and won't put other people's intellectual property in our game, for the simple reason that we don't own it. They do. We will automatically reject any items based on existing intellectual property.
National, political, or religious symbols: We won’t play favorites. The only way to be fair is not to pick any.
Overall Tone: We may reject an item if we feel it deviates too far from the tone or fiction of CS:GO.
Technical limitations: We’re currently only accepting maps and weapon finishes. Model changes, new weapons, and animations all sound fun and interesting but we aren’t ready for them.
Color: Items that are fully black, fully white, or fully saturated light poorly in-game.
Gold: Gold weapons have a special meaning to the Counter-Strike community, and so we’re reserving gold finishes for special events. We have a bunch of them backlogged already and we don’t need more.
Promotional Designs: At this point, we’re not looking for designs that promote existing brands or companies. Designs should not advertise a person, team, company, organization, etc.
Solid Color Style or Anodized Style: We likewise have a bunch of solid color and solid anodized paints backlogged. If you make one, chances are we already have a similar finish ready to ship. Your best chance at getting an item into the game is to demonstrate creativity with a great design.

religious symbols: We won’t play favorites. The only way to be fair is not to pick any.

They acknowledge GabeNs posistion in the cosmic realm, and spite him for it.

It's gold, and Gold weps are supposed to be Event only, It could become a Dreamhack or Tourney case drop however.

It's clearly because it's got Gabe Newell's face on it. I doubt he'd want to have a weapon skin of himself in one of his companies own games.

EVERYONE: This has been resolved, it's because it has a face on it, and ANY workshop item is NOT allowed to feature a specific REAL person.
