The Humble Bundles are slowly making this site die.

Site was doing fine before cv was even a thing though.

back then you got 0 cv for anything and then for awhile when you did get some it didn't do anything, like the post count.

Nope, you missed the point of the site it seems.

Generosity

I see...

You can always give a game not included in that list. There still are many more non-bundle games than bundle games. Plus, if you really want to give the game away, you don't need CV.

How are more giveaways going to make a GIVEAWAY site die?

What is killing this site is the contributor system. I still think they should implement the wishlist somehow, and perhaps have a limit on how many times you can gift each title. It would be hard to abuse bundles if you can only do it once per a title and only benefit if it is on many people's wishlist. I dunno, I am not going to think of anything fool proof but this does need to be corrected. A lot of good games are on the list now and have not been in bundles for a very long time. Luckily, there is plenty of generous people that do not care about CV, but there is a lot of people that do that would otherwise donate some titles.

What? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this forum.

A site for giveaways is having an increased amount of giveaways!?! QUICK! Call the internet police!

I don't really see where you're coming from here.

If CV is the reason people wanna make a giveaway, then they don't deserve anymore CV than is the maximum (Which is too high in my opinion). People who want CV that badly will give away non-bundled games.

As for the people who aren't in it for the CV- they will give games not caring whether it's bundled or not. Plain and simple.

It's pretty rare that brand new games are in a bundle, plus new games are being released all the time that aren't in bundles. Seems like the only problem is that people will be less likely to give away old bundle games if they won't get CV for them? A lot of people probably wouldn't care about the CV if it was a game they would never play or that is hard to trade off. The CV system might actually encourage people to give away games that aren't bundled, which hopefully means newer and better games.

People are problem not the Humble Bundle. Rules should be simple: Gifts are gifts or free giveaway bundle key. That's all.

Did you just write that the bundle list "really discourage giving games inside that list"... ???
Alan Wake disagrees.

instead of marking all the bundle games @ CV 0.20(5 games for $1), this site tell u to suck it up, u have to give at least a non-bundle games like bioshock infinite or u will only get $30 CV even u give away 100 copies of bundle games. a way to discourage people to give away more bundle games especially part of the money actually goes to Charity. heck even there isnt a way to create a humble bundle 8 giveaway

You already said you are not here to be generous. The site is not being killed by the humble bundle, but by people who completely miss the point of it in the first place.

@edit The site isn't even dying, tho, so pointless thread is pointless.

I give games because I can. Also the CV number increasing reflects the growth of my e-penis.

I'm not really mad for not getting contrib value from bundles, but I would like for people not to all post those giveaways on the same week the bundle starts...suddenly all people have points to enter other giveaways and probably just enter giveaways cause they have extra points, not because they want a particular game. Would be nice if it spread out a bit, not in waves.

I couldn't care less about contributor value. Most of my favorite games have been bundled, and it won't stop me from giving them away when I can manage it. And there are a ton of other folks who feel the same way.

For me, the only thing it does is allow people a much better chance at winning some great games, due to them being spammed all over the place when they're bundled. That's an incredible thing!

Cry me a river.

The abundance of bundle games being listed on here (accompanied by floods of complainers, whining about the tsunami of bundle games) every time a new Humble/Gala/Royale release comes out proves conclusively that your point is utterly fallacious, and total hogwash.

If Steamgifts is dying, it's the by far the most lively and vivacious death I've ever witnessed...

Why would contributor value denied by bundle games discourage you to give away games? Do you "give them away" (based on your profile it doesn't seem like you're much of a contributor) just for the sake of contributor value?

" leaving you with no Contribution values at all"

NOT TRUE.

Besides, you're not really into gifting games, so why do you care?

I agree and disagree.

I agree that CV should count for EVERY game, bundled or not. We're giving something away, whether we paid 1 buck or 50 dollars for it shouldn't matter, we should still get some CV value for it (when it's confirmed by the winners). If CV wont count for every game, then CV needs to be removed entirely.

I disagree that any of the bundles are killing the site, or any other giveaway site. SG's retarded bundle list just discourages some people from just giving them away here (I know I wont till CV is redone or gone, I'll keep the keys and trade them on ST, or give them away on another site after awhile).

he is pointing to the lack of reward (contribution value) after $25 right?! why not like 5-10% of the bundle games value?! it would give incentive and not obfuscate the full price pricks...
