Question about delisted games

if i try to make a new giveaway for that game, it says it's full cv at 20p. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's 20P though?
Also a bit off topic, but damn what a throwback you just gave me with this game. Completely forgot it existed, it was the first time I got scammed on buying a game 😄

If the game is no longer available for purchase [..] then SG confiders that the game has a price of 0

SG gets prices by syncing to Steam store pages. Fully delisted games [ie, ones that no longer display an associated store page] don't send any pricing data to Steam store pages, resulting in an associated price of $0. Due to how frequently games get delisted and relisted, SG staff doesn't interfere by setting a manual price (which would overwrite any synced price, leading to issues if the game ever gets relisted) unless they're sure a game is permanently delisted.

Games banned and removed by Valve are explicitly ensured of not being at risk of relisting, thereby those listings will always be set manually by staff (though sometimes you'll need to put in an Add Game to List ticket to inform staff of the need to do so, as it's easy for staff to overlook individual games).

As the previous replies indicated, you can tell what P and CV value a game has on SG simply by opening up the Create a New Giveaway tab and seeing what pops up when you search for the game. If the game is both fully delisted from Steam and also lists a price, then you can be reasonably assured that that price won't change in the n future. This not only makes it more reliable than games that've been removed from Steam temporarily, but actually makes it more reliable than games that haven't been removed, given how some developers will adjust retail pricing over time.

That said, in the case of A Vampyr Story, its partial delisting seems to have only occurred May of this year, so presumably it's still sending price data to the store page, simply as a technical result of the store page itself still being up, as it seems unlikely staff would have already manually set a price for it, especially given the developer's early insistence of the game's intended eventual return to Steam and GOG.

While that makes this a trickier example of delisting dynamics, its pricing should still be fairly reliable, given that if it ever gets confirmed as being delisted, SG staff'll adjust it, and if it ever returns to Steam it'll presumably still retain the same pricing. Similarly, if it is the case that staff has already set a manual price for it, it'll simply revert to synced pricing if the title ever goes live again, and won't adjust otherwise.

So regardless of what circumstances the game currently has, it seems like the title'll still be a reasonably safe one to use for giveaway CV. Rather, it doesn't seem meaningfully more uncertain than any other, more typical giveaway.

TL;DR version: The only games really at risk of permanent loss of CV are those that have the potential of eventually going free-to-play, or those that are likely to go on and off of Steam due to licensing issues (such as Deadpool, which has been removed and relisted onto Steam on multiple occasions).

If you do a giveaway for this game don't forget to remind the winner to use dgvoodoo2 wrapper or the game won't launch(Win 10x64).

I dropped down to lv 9 because Super Cloudbuilt became purchase disabled, and the CV should return to me when the game becomes available again. Publishing agreement ended but Steam version will be updated and make available for purchase some time soonish
