I'm playing a free-to-play game. I want to recommend the game to a friend. I select the game from my game library. I navigate to the store page. I click on Share button. Steam provides me three options: Facebook, Twitter, Reddit. However, my friend doesn't use any of these services afaik.Does Steam provide some way of sharing the game as a private Steam message? I'd like to avoid opening the web browser to get the store page URL. Also, it would be nice if Steam told my friend that I'm trying to share a game and not just post a random imgurl.

It happened also to me more than one time, with just released demo. Usually I wait the next day and it works.
I imagine that the problem could be caused by the fact that demo files are not yet globally distributed through all Steam server network.
I never tried, I will do next time, but maybe changing the download region from Steam -> Settings -> Download and Cloud could help.
I can get the overlay to show up in any Origin game, but having the name be proper is another story...
Here's what you have to do, I can confirm that this works for me (the overlay showed up in-game):
If you change "Origin" to "Battlefield 3" in the Steam Shortcut, it'll show up as such in your friends list. However, this means every Origin game will show up as Battlefield 3.
