No contributor value given for the Alan Wake games?

You can get steamgifts+ plugin for that.

It is, however, an entirely different argument, one that has been discussed to death at that. Just get over it, it's only a number.

Please read this first.

Would you prefer if it was instead cut by 75%?
I'd bet you didn't buy all your contributions at full price either, so stop fucking complaining that you are not getting "what you paid for them" like a douche.

It's working just as it should. It requires you to continue being a contributor if you want to keep your contributor value. It keeps people from being able to reach the CV they want and continue having the advantage that offers even if they never contribute anything else ever again. At that point you're not a contributor any more, you're a leach that USED TO BE a contributor.

If I contribute $100 worth of games right now, that should not matter for shit 5 years from now.

Steamgifts doesn't record the value of a bundle at the time that you give it away. It uses the current value, so price drops will reduce your CV. I don't know why. Steamgifts records the time of your giveaway, as that is how it can retroactively mark giveaways past a certain point as "bundles/exploits".

I would initially guess that it is a matter of simplicity, but the way SteamGifts handles it is probably more complicated than storing an extra value at the time of the giveaway.

So I guess it was so people couldn't just amass a hefty contributor value and then just sit there for years, never offering giveaways again. (Except the system, if you care about CV, favors people who give away a lot of cheap titles versus giving away expensive ones. A $60 new game will see its price drop over the next couple of years, anywhere from 50% to 85%. Twelve copies of an older $5 game won't see that kind of drop.)

Best to just ignore CV. If you give non-bundle games, it will go up. Sometimes it will go down. Sometimes the cap will be increased.

CV on steamgifts used steam price database simultaneously, and I'm pretty sure u know what this means.

You don't have to be a 'cool kid' to be a cool user. ;)

He said 'There's a dearth of Alan Wake giveaways right now, right? Clearly we needed another'. And that was what I was referring to. Plus I think that actually almost all people here care about their cv, even though they don't want to admit it. I at least haven't seen someone who gifted hundreds of bundle games only. So much for the 'spirit of gifting'. Ideally cv should be a nice way to say 'thank you for gifting', but in its current state it is not (don't get me wrong, I know there are technical limitations and I wouldn't know how to improve it). And people who gift bundle games only are treated as if they did something wrong. Maybe my whole post is a bit off-topic since the op clearly gifted for the sole purpose of farming cv, but you see a lot of complaints like the one I replied to about giving away bundle games in general here, which upsets me.

Id rather keep CV and drop the bundle list. Those who want to limit their giveaways still can and they'll just adjust their entry requirements to account for higher cv all round.

" 330+ the 20% of the bundled games that didn't give me cv ?"

this

you don't lose it.

having previously had the 30 based on bundle calculations doesn't matter, when something changes I think it just recalculates as if it hadn't before(not that it'd come out any different that way really anyway so whichever is easier to think of it as) so:

300 non bundled, 100 bundled...
325*.2=65(cap)
65<75
so you have 390cv (and 10 stored bundle cv that isn't doing anything right now)

about 5:1 non to bundled ratio(actually its 4 point something because of the "first 25" thing)

cause bundled is capped at 20% non bundled
Total Value = Non-Bundle Value + min(Bundle Value, Non-Bundle Value * 0.2);
