Wrong P value for old giveaways ?

Open
Zolivv

Hello,

I have suddenly dropped in differential in a group between gifts sent and received with no recent change, and i just figured out that some games may have changed their value wrongly.

Example : https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/4aIPv/the-lego-movie-2-videogame
Lego Movie 2, now at 50P, while the game is at 30$/€, and should be at 30P

I've just seen this GA too (which made me check for others) : https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XGeK5/the-lego-movie-videogame
Lego Movie 1, now at 50P instead of 20P.

So, what is happening ?
(Hope i didn't open something already discussed elsewhere, if so i'll delete this)

My guess is that it is connected to the bundle of the two games.
If there was a sale for said bundle recently (ended today?), that put the bundle price below the regular price of the single game, Steam's API reports the bundle price as the price of each individual game. So Steamgifts "thinks" each game is $50. This should fix itself within a couple of days after the sale ends.

Edit: Similar to the "Daedalic bug": https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/yq8ow/daedalics-games-giving-100-points-here-on-steam-gifts-wtf

Now I understand why my months old Won GAs suddenly increased while I gave games but didn't win any.I was hesitant for 5 months,not knowing what to do.I still don't know what to do because my Sent should increase when I give games but not my Won games(especially when I am only giving and not taking part in any GAs).

Thanks for bringing this up.I could never understand why my Won GAs increased even though I stopped participating in games.

And it's back to normal (or at least it's back up for a few games). Lego Movies 2 game is back from 50P to 30P, but the Steam bundle is still there.
