Little off-topic: I've been wondering lately: What about open giveaways created before the game got into bundle (days/weeks earlier)? Do they count as giveaways for bundled games or not? I haven't found a clear answer, maybe somebody here knows?

They get bundle value.
otherwise it could be exploited since sometimes games from a bundle are leaked before the bundle release

It seems that you are right, I've checked with someone who created a Dead Space 2 GA just before it got bundled and they got full CV for it. I'm surprised it works that way because it is quite easy to exploit.

Some game you gave went down in price from when you gave it away. It's very common and comes up on the forum almost daily.

FaeVerse, I believe that used to cost more? It went down, your value went down. That happens to everyone.

This place gets prices from Steam. If games are permanently reduced your level can go down. It may or may not be fair, that is pretty arguable. But it is what happens.

This is the reason why I do less GAs on this site now. Had the same "shock" as OP a few months ago. Who thinks retroactively reducing CV is a good idea? Even months after a GA was created?

I notice that you have given away a bunch of the same game, how levels work now is after the 5th copy of a game you give away, they become worth 10% less than the previous copy. So the 6th time you give away a $10 game, it gives you $9 in cv. Then it gives you $8.10, so on so forth.
So it may have gotten around to recalculating your cv, and implemented the 10% thing, causing it to drop.

It depends on what you mean by retroactive. If the GA ended before the bundled date you get full CV.
But if you give away a bundle game that is not added to the bundle list yet, your CV will go down after it gets added

I was talking about the $100 limit to login in steamgifts. I've entered for the first time about 2 months ago, BEFORE torchlight II was bundled, so counted full price. I've purchased a couple of games since, but I dont know the steamgifts value of my account.

I think your entry is still valid, but the creator can ask or a reroll

Your entries will stay but the giveaway maker can request reroll, however unlikely. if that happens I would recommend explaining your situation. Most people are pretty reasonable.

I've been Level 5 twice, and Level 4 in between in the course of a month. Now I'm Level 4 again... (:P). If you were able to enter giveaways for Level 5, those entries stay and should be valid even if you are Level 4 later. Although if you manually remove yourself from those giveaways, you can't re-enter them because you don't have the required level.

That's the worst one could happen, sorry about that m8

Although I've been here a year, I've only recently become more active on the site, so I'm not sure I understand this...
This morning I was at 5.04, and now I'm 4.38. O_o What happened, please?
EDIT: It's because the base price of FaeVerse Alchemy went down. That's good news! Now maybe more people will be getting and playing it! ^__^
