FYI, you won't get points towards your level doing give aways for free games.

Hi. What do you mean by free? Grav Blazer is still worth $0.70 dollars it's not free. Sorry but I'm just new here.

Nevermind. I get it already. It now has * zero contributor value. But I am very sure it only had reduced value when I created it.

Yeah, once they identify that the game has been given away for free, they remove the contributor value. That change happens retroactively, so it might have had a value when you made the giveaway, but they changed it once they identified it.

As a side note, this will also cause your level to degrade over time, as games that you gave away previously eventually end up on the free list, which slowly degrades your contributor value.

Ok. I really want to level up my contributor level at least to 1. I can't increase it with games I get from other giveaway. Bundle games are not enough too. I guess I can only increase it by creating giveaway for game I really bought that is not included in bundle or given away for free. Thanks

Yeah it can be a bit tricky at first. Look for a few games now the Steam Winter sale has started. I look for games with high discount percentages, as I think it's based on the non discounted price. At the very least, I think you'll get full credit when it reverts to it's full price.

I don't really have a complete understanding on how it works behind the scenes. Might be worth having a look through the FAQ here somewhere to be sure on the ins and outs.
