CV lowering question

Open
y2alex

Hey guys, just have a quick question on how CV works here. So for about 2 months, I was stuck on a 2.99 CV level. Pretty much one more giveaway and I'd be at level 3. Two months later I turn in a game just to give get me over my tiny finish line and get to level 3 to start anew. Today my CV not only lowered but lowered past my initial lock point to 2.95.

I'm used to it recalculating and lowering after a certain period, but I've never seen it take me below my last lock point especially after 2 months of no changes. So I just need a little clarity on why this would happen.

maybe the games you have givenaway got bundled or their main price was lowered by the developers

CV is calculated constantly against the CURRENT market price on steam. So if a games price gets lowered it will lower your CV. Which is likely what happened here since it was over a longer period of time.

The other cause is bundling, sometimes you can giveaway before it gets marked as part of the bundle that you got it from.

There is no "lock point."

Magrunner: Dark Pulse , which was free until a few hours ago , is still reported as $0 (due to caching, I guess).

Once its price goes back to normal, you'll get the normal bundled CV ($1.5) back, and properly become level 3... until the next issue, at least.

Ohhhh I think you're right. I gave away magrunner a while ago so this may be the issue. Not really an issue as I just need to give away more games but I wanted to sneak get to level 3 before then. Technically, I've been level 3... 3 times! Its so elusive.
