Will I still get contributor value for giving Metro 2033 and RF Armageddon from Amazon? Are only bundle keys considered as bundle or these separate games as well?

the games are separate and humble has the whole bunch as one key, so I suppose you will still get the value, if in doubt, check to see if there is an asterisk by the name on the drop down list.

It's not best, it's not even correct -_-
There are too many idiots posting HIB keys as separate games, so support always have to add every single game from the bundle to the list.

so it's very well correct right now

Any giveaway for games that are in bundles regardless if they were bought are considered bundle games. That means your value is limited by bundle rules.

Poor form then. Slightly disappointed and expected more based on previous stands. The whole stances screams "mislabel" giveaways and hope you don't get caught. I would gladly lose value from my previous giveaways to see them added to the bundle list.

Certainly not to you. You've "won" many gifts and have a higher contributor value. Gives you more options than most of us. So yeah, it does matter to many, many members.
And if you don't care about this, why are you even here? Because you had something of value to say? No. Maybe you were just bored... So shut up and go away, we hate you! Well, not really. Seriously though, mean people suck.

Only game that might not get bundled status is Saints Row 3, because you have to pay at least $5. So, CG will have to either make all pre-bundle Saints Row 3 bundled (since that's what it costed last sale), or this one won't become bundled.
Rest, thanks to costing $1, will get bundled status for sure.

Makes no sense bundeling individual games, its Just stupid cause you cant make giveaways of single games from hib (Except for sr3).

And SR3 is region locked, so against giveaway rules. Not saying that will prevent people from creating giveaways for it, but...they could be blocked/banned/whatever-it-is-that-gets-done.

No, because some people people make a giveaway for only one game from the bundle (e.g. Metro 2033) and then give the bundle key away to get the contributor value (20$ for 1$).

According to your logic should apply to all games. All giveaways are created in deals, especially Amazon.

That's not my logic, that's Steamgifts' rule. Look at the bundle list, there you will see that all games from Humble Bundle are in the list.

But you didn't get separate keys for "less than average" games. I don't think there's a way to give the games separately.

I mean people make a giveaway for one of the games and then give the winner the whole Below-The-Average key. They still get 20$ contribution value even when they paid only 1$.

Isn't this against SG rules? You have to list your giveaway correctly and this wouldn't be listing it correctly. You'd have to list it as the THQ Bundle (or whatever bundle) instead of the individual games. If you list it as the individual game and get the bundle key, the recipient could, technically, mark it as "not received" and report the giver for misrepresentation although they would be getting a better deal since they'd be getting more games. Yes, there are instances where the bundle keys are given independently, but that's why you have the bundle cap on the games in bundles (listed on the site somewhere in one of the rules-thingie). It lists all the games that were part of bundles that are capped at like $30.

When making a giveaway, look at the title on the game list. Does it have an asterisk (*) after it? If not, then it is not considered a bundle game, and will count towards your non-bundle contributor total.

Neither Metro 2033 nor Red Faction Armageddon appear to have an asterisk right now.

Edit: Ah, crud. Topic is days old. Tristar!!
