Games are added to the bundle list with the date they were considered bundled for the first time. All giveaway that end after this date get a bundle status, even if the game is added to the list much later. You can not mix the date a game is added to the bundle list and the date a game got bundled.
There is only 1 person working on the bundle list, so it may take some time for him to add a game.
Search the forum for further information. It has been discussed many times.

Steamgifts bundles games faster than steam is releasing them. :B Yep, I know, it's sad. Even if it gets bundled after 2 years, it still affects you.

That's not true.. if it gets bundle on a date after you gave the game it DOESN'T affect you..
Comment has been collapsed.
What? o.O But it affected me when a game got bundled, even though my giveaway had ended.

It can be retroactively bundled to the date it was actually over 95% off or really bundled.
It's all about the date set for it.. but 2 years later won't affect you other than a price change on Steam.

This is my point......I give this game 1 month ago and my proposal was that when a game is added to bundle to change his value on steam gift for all the GA created after that game is added to bundle NOT to all GA created (even for those created before the bundle).

Giveaways created before the bundle date are safe.
Say a game is bundled on the 6th and added to the list on the 10th.
- Giveaway made on the 5th = full value
- Giveaway made on the 7th = reduced value once added to the bundle list
The only thing that can effect all giveaways for a game is the price changing.

What other people said. you have to count for the date that game got bundled
you can always check your real cv with: http://www.sgtools.info/
Comment has been collapsed.
Best way to avoid this is not to rely your CV points on just one good deal. Diversify your giveaways.
Deals are great, but don't think of them as a way to make your CV better. Think of them as an opportunity to give away a good game for a lower price, because in this way everybody wins.

So you payed 89 rub per copy, it like 1,4$
In CV value you got 3,75$ per copy. (now, after the game was added to bundle)
You anyway hacked the system, but crying? Really? REALLY?
Comment has been collapsed.
you tried to cheat the system and got slapped on your wrists - tough luck ;p one copy would be just bad luck - you bought a game, it got bundled, you lost CV, I could understand. 4 copies over extended time was just concious getting advantage of CV system. So serves you well.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not "Cheating" the system if it's within the rules. The CV system is deliberately set to award full CV for first 5 copies of same game, then gradually decreasing to prevent abuse. Similarly its common knowledge that non-bundled games on sale for 90% or below count for full CV. Some people game the system because they want to maximize their gains when using the site. Levelling up in a cheap manner is part of that strategy. Others can disagree, but it's still legit.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, you are right. but OP did not buy the ROW game - OP kept buying strangely enough just one single RU/CIS game that is 72% cheaper in RU region, so he was paying less than 3% of the base price of Cv he was gaining - so discount way above bundled 95%.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, don't get mad at him for giving Chivalry out. I think that if the game IS GOOD, have a good deal, and plus you can get a few extra CV points, it doesn't hurt anyone.
But of course, with the 4-pack, I think it was not balanced and add it to the bundle list was the right choice. Getting 2 levels for a 4-pack is wayyy too much.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just out of curiosity, was there a price glitch for Chivalry or something? Since I do not remember it being in a bundle or 90% off.
e: oh darn, the complete collection I bought this weekend with 80% is bundled too. That is a second time I got screwed like that. >.>, well, tough luck.
Comment has been collapsed.
Its because of the 4-pack. The 4-pack costs the price of 2 Chivalrys on sale. The sale was 80%, irrc.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no 4-pack for Deadliest Warrior or Chivalry Complete as far as I know though. Not that I mind the CV drop that much, though I got it for group to keep my ratio cool and dunno how it's value is going to be considered now, but whatever. :F
E: Nvm, Lowest price: 2,29€ (90% off), Recorded 4 months ago on Steam; my bad for buying it through client rather than through web with enchanced steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I thought you was asking because of the OP.
But yeah, saw your edit, everything was 80%, even complete package.
Normally they only add to the bundled list games that were 90%+, but in this case I think they added it because it was 80% AND it had a 4-pack, because the 4-pack is like 50% itself. ;_;
Comment has been collapsed.
TL:DR; Do "NOT" gift any Steam game that has seen a 90% on Steam Store. Since sooner or later due to Russian regional discount (90% >> 95+%) it will end up in bundle list.

Thanks for gifting. But in the end you got the right value for your gifts imo
Comment has been collapsed.
lol, they still consider RU price when all gifts are basically ungiftable from poor region -> high region

Last night was on lvl 4 , in this morning direct to lvl 1 :((( . i know why , beacause Mediaval game was added to a bundle, but is it correct?
Because I give this game before entering to the bundle so normally the value of the game should remain at a certain value until is added to a bundle and when the game is added to a bundle all the GA created after that to be with the new price of the bundle.
What do you think?
