Clicky. This seriously needs to be added to FAQ.

But then we can be justified when we complain they don't read the FAQs.

But they could still search for 'Contributor' or 'Contribution' or 'value' and get the same thread. We can still complain, the search function is there to be used!

(I disagree that we need it in the FAQs such that we can complain, we complain enough as is because people don't search. I also think it should just be a plain old stickied thread - make it even more obvious so people don't have to wade through FAQs to find what they want.)

unless he uses google instead and his search pulls up the old thread that says you'll be banned for giving bundles like that other guy did :)

Maybe if they access the forum only from that little box on the bottom of the homepage they don't know about forum search(its just for games, until you click the forum link up top or the "new from the forums" header" I don't know why people do what they do lol I'm a noob and I found it easily enough

Relying on old, unofficial posts for fresh information? Sure, why not?

It's not like things ever change on the internets. Now if you excuse me, i have to check a BBS, it'll take a while with my 110 baud modem.

Because it's not in FAQ for some reason.

Oh yeah, derp, I keep expecting it to be there. Regardless, he's been on SG for a year now and has given away 19 games; you'd think he would have caught on by now...

wrong bundle. only certain bundles let you get full value for apparently arbitrary reasons.

next time try something not listed here
like gala store bundles..

but for most bundles its capped at bundle contribution = Non-bundled contribution * 0.2 + $30

It's not arbitrary, the ones that don't count full value were on a pay-what-you-want bundle >> HIB / Indie Gala etc.

and those have a min cost of $.99 for steam keys. just exactly like http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/the-crazy-machines-bundle.html (also pay what you want)
which is why I chose that word. I was recently informed(sortof) by somebody in a debate that bundles only count if their site existed 6 months ago when the list was made and so gala store didn't count(after defeating other points this ended up being the entirety of his argument for why crazy machines shouldn't get a backdated asterisk and he deleted his earliest post taking almost the whole chain with it rather than admit defeat). :P
(but really I said it more to be jokey cause of the recent controversy than serious)

Fair enough. I've seen several discussions asking why Gala Store bundles / Amazon Bundles etc. haven't been put on the list, but never followed the thread long enough to see a conclusion. TBH, I don't care how much contribution I get really, I give what I want, when I want and if I can - the contribution giveaways are a nice bit on the side.

I only found out just recently, in the drop box of games when u are contributing, keep an eye out for an asterisk next to items you are gona post, those are tagged as bundled games and are worth less to your account vale... or so ive concluded so far.

I didn't read the FAQ because I have been gifting bundle crap for a year, and ALWAYS got contributor value for it. Didn't realize this has gotten so convoluted.

Wrong. You have been gifting "bundle crap" for 3 months. Before that you gifted several non-bundle games, and a complete bundle (which is not treated the same as gifting individual bundle keys).

Can i ask something as well, does that bundle cap is use for EACH BUNDLE or it apply to ALL BUNDLE GAME .
You see, when i realize that my value was stop increase, i know i reach the cap of this Groupees - Be Mine Anniversary, so i buy the King's Bounty: The Legend from gala store, then i find out it in Groupee 5, but i think since i never make any giveaway use game from that groupee 5 bundle, sooooo i though that my value still go up since i not reach the cap of THAT BUNDLE . But seem that value not change a bit , does that mnean that 25usd cap is apply to EVERY BUNDLE GAME ?
