What happens to CV value if item is removed from Steam?

Closed

For example... Dead Island: Epidemic will be removed from Steam on October 15 and the DLC has already been marked N/A on the store page. If you try to create a giveaway for the DLC it will show up as having a value of zero but will it retroactively remove those CV points if the giveaway was done before the DLC was removed or will they stay?

They go to $0 until Support can set them to the previous price manually.

So if you have given away the item previously you lose that CV until Support fixes it?

Yes, because the CV value comes directly from Steam, and something that no longer is available will return a 0

Different problem. You are talking about bundle prices. He is talking about removed item prices.

So wait- if I give away an unbundled game, does its CV not drop when it gets bundled?

No, it doesn't. If you gave it away before it got bundled. Same day as it got bundled, you only get 15% of the full price.

It will stay in your account if you own it before it gets removed.

Aye but it says the servers go down October 15th. Isn't this game online only or does it also have a single-player?

EDIT: I mean offline single player, not Diablo 3 single player :)

You are right, without any other players, the game will be useless.

Isn't there a program where you could connect to others? I think Hamachi or something. You could use that to play it with friends.

Matchmaking takes forever right now with so few playing. It's fun if you are with people that know what they are doing though.
