YouTube Why can't I select a game when I edit the description and stuff?

You know how when you select the gaming category, and you type in your game, and if the game is on that YouTube Gaming thing, then it shows up as you type it? You also see it at the bottom of the description. Well, for some reason, on the very last video I uploaded of Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, which won't be public for a couple months, it doesn't show the Doom 3 BFG game when I type it under the category selection. It worked with the previous videos of that game, but now it's just not working.

Is there any reason why YouTube won't let me add in a game into that little section?

It does seem that it can be a bit buggy sometimes, as multiple times in the past I haven't been able to add in the title of the game I uploaded and instead had to come back at a later time to add this in. What worked for me is typing out the game name, and then checking on it a day later or so as 9/10 times did it not only keep the title of the game but also then auto corrected it to the title it would have been if I started typing it in. Hopefully that doesn't sound as weird as I think it does.
