Contribution Value Drop

I apologize I should have added (؟) mark to my answer

It's fine if people can't give,but then they shouldnt expect to get access to contributor giveaways. Either be happy with what you get or dont spent the money on bundle games and buy other cheap games instead.

This is a thank you giveaway for contributors. All users that have successfully sent $x.xx worth of gifts are eligible to enter. Your contributions to date, $x.xx.

If people can spend $6+ buying 10x bundled games to farm CV, why can't they buy 1 game on sale for $6?

Want CV? Give away a non-bundled game. Only got $5? Go buy a non-bundled game. There's no real way to justify contribution farming. Granted the 0 CV can be a disappointment for some, I assume you've heard the phrase "quality over quantity".

If you are concerned about CV then just check if it was in a bundle before. Thing is...1 copy vs. massive spam because of CV boost ;)

If you want to give a game, you give the game. If all you care about is the CV, I'm sure you'll be able to find another game to give away.

No, if you want to give them away, you just give them away, the CV you get from them is irrelevant. If you're buying games and giving them away for the sole reason of raising your CV, you should just stop because that's stupid.

You see,the fault is not to try and achieve a high cv,but doing so in a way that would exploit low value bundle games that offer decent cv(see the crazy machines craze,sorry for the pun).Paying 1 dollar for a game and expecting to get 10 dollars worth of cv is a bit far fetched don't you think?Unfortunately there are collateral victims that may have bought the game during a bundle,and don't get their deserved cv.
The cv system is not perfect,they know it and will probably be changed,in the meantime we have to hang on.

yeah but that will most likely be added as a bundle game because of an old bundle that wasn't added before.

There are tons of threads about Humble THQ bundles, Shadow harvest and Crazy Machines (+the CV farmers). You should have expected that one day they will put them on bundle list. Beside that, complaining that you don`t get 20CV for 1$ is just rude...

You don't get the point. When the game gets "tagged" doesn't matter.

Let me explain:

Scenerio 1:

• April 5: The game is in a bundle. You buy the bundle.
• April 6: You give away the game. It's not yet in the bundle list, so you get CV from it.
• April 7: The game gets in the bundle list. You lost your CV, because you gave away the game after April 5, which is the date the game was bundled.

Scenario 2:

• April 3: You buy the game.
• April 4: You give away the game.
• April 5: A wild bundle appears. The game you gave away yesterday is now in a bundle.
• April 7: The game gets in the bundle list. You don't lost your CV, because you gave away the game before April 5, which is the date the game was bundled.

You see how it works now?

lol

the correct way is

100 CM bundles ($1) and 100 rome ($1). $100 gives you $2000 (CM) and $100 gives you $1000 (Rome). Quite a difference,don't you think?
