Gifts value wrong?

LOLOLOL

You can't find that anywhere, because it doesn't say so anywhere. And yes, you could have paid a 100 bucks for your indie bundles each. But considering that most people pay a minimum for the bundle, or just above the average, the reason for the limit as exactly that. I could pay 6 bucks for a bundle and get 50+ USD worth of contribution value, which makes the whole contributor system obsolete.

Anyways, if a game is on a bundle list, and you give it away, you can have a max contributor value from bundle games of 30 bucks + 25% or 20%, can't remember, of any "real" value you've given away for. Ie, games NOT on the bundle list. Understand?

If you gift the bundle by itself, and not the individual games from it, you get full value for it.

Even if they did make a warning, nobody would really read it. If people don't even use the search function or just simply "eyeball" other threads seeing if someone has the same problem as you :|

You paid more? No, ppl with behavior like yours always pay the least.
ALL games you gave away are from ONE bundle. You paid more than 30$ for it? Suuuuuuure. I think you are just greedy liar and you just landed on my blacklist.

You will not get contributor value for the games in the bundle. However, I do believe you will get contributor value equal to what the average is on the bundle. Ie, I gave away indie gala 10, I got about 6 bucks of contributor value I believe. Not 30 or 40 or 50 or whatever the games might actually be worth, purchased seperately.

The above and below average bundles have separate prices for each bundle. It's around $10, you won't fish any free contrib credit out of it. Just do what I did and spam this.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT GO GET IT

I only needed Splice.

[Man everyone is gonna be like YOU ONLY GIVE AWAY BUNDLE GAMES AND THE SHIP.]

edit: for clarification I gave BS2 and will give bundle games, just happen to have picked up these bundles for only one game and they came with separate keys, so free games for you guys instead of me searching my friends list for people who give a shit.

You will get the "full" value of the bundle price and it will not be handled as a "bundle game" but as a "NonBundle" in the above formula.
You will still not the the full value (Steam store value) of the individual games in that bundle.

So if in the above example, someone gave away Indie Gala X BTA (afaik it's considered 6USD) and 3x The Ship, the formula would be

= 6 + MIN(3 19.99, 25) + MIN( 3 19.99 -25, 6 + MIN(3 19.99, 25) 0.2 )
