Contribution dissapear

Closed

Hey guys,

Quick question. I have contributes $9.99 so far, however earlier my contributions went to zero. I went back and looked at the giveaway I created, and it was still there. It ended, I sent it, and was marked as received.

Do contributions disappear after a while or something?

Thanks!

Oh ok, makes sense even though I paid for it when I did the giveaway (although I got it in a bundle)
Thanks!

I'll guess there's a new policy that you get nothing from free2play games.
But this is new to me too, I thought you get atleast the same as for bundled games.

Didn;t know this went F2P, got it in a bundle a while ago before it was F2P
Thanks!

It's because of the way site calculates the contribution value. The game you gave away became F2P.

So even though it wasn't free when I posted it, it is now free and takes away contribution.

I can see why they would do it from a coding standpoint. Okay thank you!

Only the current price for games is stored in the database. CV is calculated against that.

When a game becomes F2P though, the last price point is usually kept. this seems like something that will be fixed manually later on.

You contributed a free game. So you as a scammer got scammed.

He made that giveaway over two weeks ago it wasn't a complete f2p game at that point.
Don't be rude if you don't have your facts straight.

I agree, but I also realize why they would do this from a coding standpoint. It is much easier and takes less HDD space to pull the values directly off of Steam than to save each instance.

It sucks, but this is a free website and I can;t really fault them for it. Thank you for your comment!

Don't worry,this will be fixed I think. It will probably return to 10$ value.
