Yes, because I'm gonna scroll through the pages to look at all 60,000 threads. I looked back some, didn't see any thread with this suggestion in the title (expecting someone to look into threads themselves to look for suggestions is absolutely idiotic), so I posted it. I had even looked into some of the threads that just mentioned being questions about the bundle system.
And I had read the FAQ, and didn't see any explanation about why games that were ever in a bundle are permanently considered bundle games, just why they have it separated into bundle and non-bundle games.
If you were trying to come off like a self-entitled asshole, you succeeded magnificently.

There's a forum search, they were suggesting you should have tried that.

Problem is, as soon as there's a set date people will just hoard keys and wait to give them away.

This has been suggested over and over again to no avail.

u underestimate how selfish ppl can be, even in cases of a digital value such as this.

Six months is nothing. We still get the random appearance from Humble Bundle 1 here from time to time. Whether you hold your keys on purpose, hope to give them to certain people and never do, or outright forget; People have old keys and some hoard them regardless.

Some people want contributor value to enter the giveaways with high contributor value requirements. Some people want contributor value to boost their steamgifts penis size. Regardless, they both would totally get $100 worth of humble bundle keys in order to make $10000 or so contributor value... which is a whole different mess. The only real solution to this is forcing people to reveal receipts and how they got the code. This would require manpower and is a different issue that involves money and time. As of now, the system works great for people who wants to give away games to make people's day because they don't care about contributor value... which is probably a good thing. Granted, what do I know.

While I think the current way bundle games are counted (or rather, not) is overdone, that's not what this is about.
There should be a limit to how long a game is considered a bundle game, I'd say 6 months to a year. I understand (and agree with) the reasoning for lowering the contribution value by bundle games (it's bad enough with the system the way it is sometimes), but how many people would be extra copies of bundles just so they can get an increased contribution value (which only serves to let them into a relatively small number of giveaways they otherwise couldn't), knowing they wouldn't be able to redeem it for half a year to a year?
With the number of different bundles out there, if there is no cut-off date, after which a game is no longer counted as a bundle game, only the newer games will actually count as non-bundle games (the list is already huge as it is).
