A question about contributor value

Closed

Hello, i have some questions about contributor value.

my first giveaway was guns of icarus ($5 value) and trine was my second one ($10 value) which is a total of 15 dollars which i also received as contributor value.
then i gave away some bundle games, but before i did i read all the information about it. the most important parts were:

the update limits giveaways that might have originated from a bundle to 20% of your total value.

AND

The first $25 in bundle games you posted receive full value.

so here's my main question, has this been changed around? because now my value is stuck at $30 after my first 3 bundle game giveaways but i have given away for more than $25 on bundled games now so should'nt my total value be $40?

Also, will these games forever be marked as bundled game? even after like a year or so?

thanks in advance for the help :)

Bundle games are forever bundle games.

And the value is correct. The first $25 of bundle games is counted as non bundle value, and then you get 20% of that for the rest of them, max of $30.

Hi =)

If you cliked on the full details link on the page where the CV is explained, you will find the mathematical aspect of the CV calculation:

Total Value = Non-Bundle Value + min(Bundle Value, Non-Bundle Value * 0.2);

Meaning you will be "stuck" with $30 CV if you're giving only bundle games, because: $25 + ($25 * 0.2)) = $30

And yes, so far a game on the bundle list will be forever treated as a bundle game, there's currently no plan to have it removed after some time.
