Genuine question particularly with all these free games on humble bundle. Obviously the admin remove a game when it is on a mass giveaway then when it finishes add it back as a 0 CV game. My question is a lot of people make giveaways for these games straight away before admin remove the game for the list, do they get CV for these giveaways.

No. It will be backdated to when it was made free so any giveaways after that point will not accumulate cv.

That was my understanding too when the rules were changed. But have done a few random spot checks on a few user who have given pretty much all of these humble bundle games and all have got full CV for them all.

They get full CV until the list gets adjusted, then they'll lose that CV again. There's no real benefit since they'll at most retain the extra CV for a week or so, and even if they gain a level in the meantime, any giveaways they win can be retroactively revoked/rerolled if their level drops back before the win is delivered.

How often does the list get adjusted? Some of the giveaways are a few months old. e.g Psychonauts

It doesn't make sense, have you checked the date correctly? It was free on Sep 14, 2017 and the date of "zero contributor value" is correct.

Probably someone gave Psychonauts a day before, but it was not a free key. This game is very popular and was bundled before.

Yeah maybe a 50 giveaways sneaked in before it was removed and they all seem to have kept the CV

Paste me links in the comments of any of my giveaways and I'll gladly check them.

I can't give you any examples as that would be calling out. But there are lots of them some even say they got the key from humble bundle free

No, it's not calling out if you do what I told you. Just choose any random old giveaway and delete the comment if you want after I get them.

in the comments of any of my giveaways

This is not what I told you to do, delete the link before a mod sees it :)

It's strange, paste me the user the way I told you before.

Ok, I just checked your info. There's a bug in SG Tools checking the real CV for free games, I'll post you the evidence in private.

CV gets retroactively taken away in those cases. You can have it for a brief time, but it will go.
