It's not hypothetical, actually. When DotA2 was devalued, it updated the new value across giveaways, current and expired. However, if this giveaway was devalued after you entered, it wouldn't remove your entry. Only if the account didn't meet the $X amount before the date the Contributor Giveaway was created, then you would not be able to enter.

My bad (busy week so far), this has been a sticky thread for 2 days already and I didn't notice it. :-/
So my comment from the first contributor giveaway would have been better placed in here. Here you go:
"Wow, cool! I really appreciate this new idea and am looking forward to the other ones you were mentioning ! :)
And thanks to all contributors! :)"
There's nothing more to say, contributors keep this site running and make the spirit of it and that's a new way to thank them for this. Looking forward to the one year anniversary and thanks of course also to you, loko and cg for creating THE NETWORK!

Wow, I joined back toward the first of the year. If I remember correctly, we hadn't hit $250,000 by that date. Also, as for the idea, LOVE IT. Entered a few of em, I don't have much given away, but I have a few things. Would love to see this become permanent, hope it all goes well! ^_^

Greetings community,
To celebrate the approaching one year anniversary of SteamGifts on June 1st, an exciting new feature is being implemented called Contributor Giveaways. Contributor Giveaways will only be available for "official giveaways" for now while we're testing the feature. If it goes over well, users will have the option when creating giveaways. Feedback will definitely be appreciated as we work this out for site-wide use.
The giveaways will work by setting two variables: time and amount. These giveaways only take into account received gifts, including those from group and private giveaways, created prior to the contributor giveaway. For example, cg sets up a contributor giveaway for $25 contributed over the past 30 days. If a member did not contribute $25 within the past 30 days, then that user does not meet the criteria for entering and could not create a giveaway past that point to become eligible. They would have needed to create their giveaway(s) before the contributor one started.
We want to thank those that have contributed over the last year, it's been a lot of fun and we've seen some tremendously generous users. We even reached a few major milestones! We've rocketed past 100,000 users and members have submitted over 50,000 gifts totaling over $500,000. We hope the second year of SteamGifts will be just as much fun. It's the gifters that make this site possible and hope they appreciate this new feature.
Best regards,
cg
