Because the games you gift away are bundle games. This is to avoid those who exploits indie bundles and pay 1 dollar/euro just to get a crazy amount of contributor points.

Please read FAQ about Bundles and its contributor value. It is only percentage of original value.

Why isn't this stickied? To everyone who is used to this site and know these things these questions may seem really stupid and lots of people seem to have the attitude of these people being "too stupid" but honestly... if it's that much of a bother, why hasn't someone stickied that damn thread already? Make it easier for people find the information.

I created and completed a giveaway and the winner has marked it as recieved, but my contributor value isn't rising. Is there something wrong?

  • No, absolutely not. There's two reasons this might be happening. The first is simply solved by waiting. There is a delay of up to twenty minutes before your value changes and it will update shortly. The other is due to having too many bundle games given away. Your contributor value will be locked until you submit further giveaways that are not from bundles and will continue to rise gradually until the full value has been reached. For more information on how values are calculated when bundle games are involved, please check this thread.

Reading is hard eh?

Eh. Yes. Eh. It was not there the last few times I checked it. Good to see it updated, though.

should there be a wall of shame thread for people who ask why only 30$ contribution because they gave bundle games,as well?

No, that would be totally unfair, because the system that caps contribution value for bundle games is not sufficiently explained anywhere.

It's a problem related to lack of use the search button. As those that ask for Dota (those just have the extra of not reading the rules).

Initially I said the same thing. However having seen so many posts related to the $30 contrib cap, it really needs to be integrated into the system with notifications letting people know they're not going to pass $30 in value giving away games marked with asterisks. There's no good reason for it not to be that way.

It's a problem related to the FAQ being buried either on the BOTTOM of the page or in the forums, which only a tiny percentage of all users would even check.

This site design is absolutely ass-backwards.

I'll hazard a guess. The give-aways came from a bundle. The bundle giveaway was not actually the present steam King Arthur's Collection. It was a past collection that didn't include most download content nor King Arthur 2. Correct me If I'm wrong, but that's my best guess.

Nope, it's the current bundle that includes every single DLC

I'd rather the info actually be in the FAQ AND actually explained when you go to make a give away. All they have to do is add a little note about what the * beside the games mean and that they are only worth $30 + 20% of non-bundled games you give away.

Its not like it would take long to add it to both the giveaway selection page and the FAQ.

Those are bundle games, and only give you up to $30 contributor value unless you also gift non-bundle games.

Well, it's easy just give away $350 worth of non-bundle games to get the last $70 worth from your King Arthur Collection giveaways.

Why does it concern you? Didn't you create those giveaways to thank the community for 14 (son o' a bi..) games you won? I can smell some hidden agenda here, not sure what it is yet.

It's because you haven't commented enough, your contributor value can only reach 1/100th of your number of comments (like me)

Maybe a click-able link under the $30 value in the profile titled "Why is my contributor value only $30?" or maybe even simply "How is this calculated?" with explanations on how it works.

Because if you want contributor value you can't just give away games, you have to give away GOOD games.

My impression is that, too many of u guys give a lot of crap to people like these and not cause u actually read the rules or FAQ's or anything, most of u people just found out on the back of these guys, most of u didn't read anything, just went by and saw answers and now act , if u ask me, a lil too high and mighty.

Yeah there are many posts regarding the 30 valure, or dotas or anything, and imo u guys are too hasty to throw rocks at them and make HoS threads about them, really lets stop being so hypocrite and be honest with ourselves.

I admit, I didn't read the rules, didn't know anything but I've learned these things cause of people who asked first before me.
Let's be nice people.
