Why did my level drop?

Closed
grafh19

I was at level 6 last month, just noticed yesterday i dropped to level 5 with a 5.50, today im at 5.49. I read the faqs and i understand how this works kinda, but i cannot find anywhere in my giveaways where I would have dropped so much, any ideas why?
Thanks in advance, I'll be making new giveaways soon to get back up to level 6 I guess lol :)

If I had to guess, I would say it's because Rage 2 droped from US$50 to US$40

That can't be it alone, staff is really putting more power on adding previous (free) games to the bundled or no cv list, every few days i also seem to keep dropping 0.1 point. Becoming very demotivating to say the least.

Last time I checked there were 647 games freshly added to the bundled list since 28 of July (both, under * and **). Bundled effective for some is since even 2013.

UPD: For example "LEAVES - The Return" were giving you 5 CV. On Aug 03, 2022 it was added to the bundled list stating that any giveaways created after May 02, 2021 will give 0 CV. Your giveaway for this game was created/finished on May 28, 2021.

that's interesting, I did not know that but that would make sense if it did, where is it that I can look up current and changed CV?

One way is too search right here on SG: https://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games
Another way is to check new games added to the list on SGtools (only last 7 days are shown): https://www.sgtools.info/lastbundled

I'm not sure if you know, but everyone's level will slowly drop over time as the games they have given away have price drops on Steam. Temporary sale prices do not affect your CV, but a permanent price drop will because steamgifts does not remember the price of each game at the time each user created a GA for it. SG calculates everyone's CV based on the current full price of the game on Steam.

Here is an example I wrote in another comment.
