I'm aware of that CV for games in Bundle Games list is 15% of Steam price. Will CV change retroactive if a game in the feature is in a bundle and on the Bundle Games list i.e. Saviors ? According to ES, Saviors has been in a bundle but only for Desura not for Steam, so it's not unlikely that Saviors will be in a Steam bundle also. Will CV for Saviors drop from $5 to $0.75 then?

It will only change retroactively for giveaways that were made after the game was bundled but before it was added to the list.

Example : a game gets bundled August 1 and is added to the list on August 5

Giveaways that were made before August 1 keep full CV
Giveaways that were made August 1 or later get full CV temporary and retroactively lose it on August 5 when the game is added to the list

Saviors is going on the bundle list anyway. Games that have a 95% or more discount are added to the list.

Saviors will be added to the Bundle List anyway (if it's not already there) because it has a discount higher than 95%

A game will most likely ba added to the bundle list if the Steam store price is 95%off (or more) - which is the case for Saviors with a 96% discount.

So even if the Steam version has not been featured in a bundle before, Shobo will most likely add the game due to the high discount - and yes, if he does, he will add it with the date of the start of this sale and it will be retro-active.

k, so date most not be today or "update date" it's the date the bundle/sales start.

exactly. it does not matter when the game gets added to the list, but instead the date that is assigned in the bundle list.

even if Shobo adds the game in a month and he sets the "bundle date" to 2015/07/20 then all CV for all users who started a giveaway for this game on this bundle date or later will be re-calculated.

If I remember it right, games that have been discounted more then 95% are added to bundle list too.

Thy all! the CV for a GA Saviors is 75% discount not 96% (5 x 0,15 - 0,19) / (5 x 0,15)

I think he means, that since it will be added to the bundle list, giving it away is like giving away an unbundled game on a 75% discount (you get 0,75$ CV while paying 0,19$).

Then it would be 85%, wouldn't it? With 75% of the price you get 1.25$ CV

I really got confused with his 75% thing for some reason. It's morning I woke up a couple hours ago still can't figure shit out :D

If you buy an unbundled game for 0,75$ with 75% discount, you will pay 0,19$ and will get 0,75$ CV. If you buy Saviors with 96% discount, you will pay 0,19$ and will get 0,75$ CV. I.e. buying Saviors 96% off will give you the same amount of CV per money spent as buying an unbundled game on a 75% discount.

OHHH god! I know understood what he meant! Thank you so very much for clarifying this. Really was breaking my mind to find out what exactly he meant :D

EDIT: Double comments OP!

What I meant is that you get 0.75$ CV when it's 85% of the base price of this game (it costs 5$) and not 75%. With 75% the CV you would get 1.25$

That's just saying you get 15% of the CV since it's considered bundled :P
