Just a small question about levels and points. There is one part of FAQ that i don't uderstand entirely
" Giveaways for bundle games created after the bundle date will always receive 15% of their value. For example, if you gift 2 copies of a $20 bundle game, you would receive $6 (3 + 3) in value towards your level. Keep in mind that changes to the list of bundle games will apply retroactively, so if a bundle begins today, attempting to gift the game before it's added to the list will offer no advantage. Games may also be added to the bundle list if they're available for free during a promotion, or if they're highly discounted in a sale. "

So if i gave away copy of Train Simulator i will eventually loose 85% of points i earned for it ? And if so, when ? And if i loose 85% of points of bundled games i gave away recently and i i'll loose level, will i get kicked from level 3 giveaways automaticly or i have to leave them ?

No, you won't get kicked from Lvl 3 GAs and you don't HAVE TO leave them neither but if the creator notices and wishes to do so they could reroll.

No you won't get kicked.
Anyway, to be clear:

You give away the game X (unbundled game) today -> you get 100%
The game X goes in bundle tomorrow -> You'll lose nothing

It means that the bundle list is updated slowly by hand, so if you get 100% CV for a game you give away, you may see it drop back to 15% eventually.
This goes for games where you created a giveaway for them after they were put in a cheap bundle or had a ~95% sale somewhere. YOu won't see CV drop for ancient giveaways because years later they were bundled.

You will not lose experience points. You just don't gain them in the first place.

You only drop level if some of games are miscalculated based on some bugs, being bundled games added to list late than it should be or if the games' base price drop eventually. If this happens, you will not get kicked out of your entered giveaways, if you wish you can leave them yourself but it's not a must.

Well i actually gained a lot for train simulator and that game is in 1 dollar bundle. So my question is, will i loose those points i gained from that game? Because i think i could buy two more of those and get level up, but there is no reason if i'll loose most of points anyway.

In your situation, Train Simulator is miscalculated on points. It should have been 40 points, instead of 80 (which is caused by another bundle's price on the same store page with Train Simulator). Train Simulator is already on bundle list so you only gained double. As soon as the other bundle's price gets normal, you will lose that extra experience points (loosing half of the one you gained from Train Simulator).

So if i gained 40 ill loose 20 ? That's still not so bad for 1 dollar bundle.

You have 71.50 points right now. Looks like you gave two copies away, then you will only lose 12 points with this one. You have to drop under 50 points to drop a level.

Train Simulator was already on the bundle list, so you won't loose anything from it. Some other giveaways you have given i think will be added to the bundle list (Murder Mystery Adventure , Mahsung Deluxe, Dessert Storm, Block Blowout and Balloon Blowout), but not enough to let you drop a level.
If you were to drop a level and wina higher level giveaway, the creator can request a reroll, if they decide to do so.

Didn't see the API gave a bug for Train Simulator base price. You currently got 12 CV from it (80*0,15), if the base price is 40 (can't see it, since my store is in euro and prices are a bit different for this one), it will drop to 6 CV per each copy of train simulator till 6th.

Don't think so. You need 50$ CV for lvl 3. You have currently 71,50. You will lose 13,6 for bundling + 6 for train, for a total of 19,6 CV lost, but you will still remain above 50, even if nothing else gets marked as received meanwhile.

Train Simulator is already on the list as bundled, like EvilBudgie said, so you will not retroactively lose points for it being bundled.

However, another issue is at play. You have temporarily received 15% of 80 points (12) towards your contribution value, when the game will only be worth 15% of 40 points (6) normally. When this issue fixes itself (on 6 December, approximately), you will lose exactly half of the points gained for each of these giveaways, and they will return to being worth 15% of 40 points (i.e. they will go down from 12 to 6 points each).

Oops, and EvilBudgie said the same thing while I was typing that.
