Question about levels?

Open

When calculating value, does Steamgifts use the items current price, or the usual price? (Say, a game is on sale for 10 bucks, when it's usually 20. Would it count as 10 bucks when sent, or 20?)

I checked, it doesn't actually say anything about what I asked, besides that highly discounted games may be considered bundled

How about these two;
"How much a giveaway increases your level is based on the gifts price, so a $20 game would add twice as much value to your level as a $10 game. "

"Giveaways for bundle games created after the bundle date will always receive 15% of their value. For example, if you gift 2 copies of a $20 bundle game, you would receive $6 (3 + 3) in value towards your level. Keep in mind that changes to the list of bundle games will apply retroactively, so if a bundle begins today, attempting to gift the game before it's added to the list will offer no advantage. Games may also be added to the bundle list if they're available for free during a promotion, or if they're highly discounted in a sale."

The question to my understanding was if "gifts price" is counted in full or it takes an ongoing discount into account which is not clearly defined in either of those quotes or anywhere else in the FAQ

Oh i misunderstand the question then my bad. But I think first sentence is clear enough if it's $20 you get $20. Maybe I am thinking simple. :/

100% of undiscounted price for non bundled games, 15% of said price for bundled ones.

Check the list here to see if a game is bundled or not

Sales are not taken into account. If the game is unbundled it's 100% of the original price and if it's in the bundle list 15% of it's full price. However if the full price of a game is lowered or raised on steam that affects your CV here
