So wait, what are you guys doing? Just removing all the giveaways in the bundles?

DEATH TO THE INFIDEL BUNDLERS.

BUNDLERS THEM BEASTS.

What about asking in the Create Giveaway page if the game is a tradable gift or a key, and do an additional check to see if the game was on a bundle. Then... I don't know, reject the giveaway if it's a key and warn the user to submit the full bundle.

This can also be checked by doing an inventory check... just like tf2 raffles site does, there's no way to fake a giveaway, it takes the item from your inventory. Though I don't know if Steam API let's you do that.

Support, thanks for you, guys, doing.
Much love ♥

Recently i made a public contributor giveaway with somewhat high contribution requirement and few people entered. I think there were perhaps 7 of them in the end and ofcourse the winner was some Russian who contributed a lot with Zombie Shooter keys and such. It kinda dissapointed me that i have to give a game to a jerk (considering that other 6 participants were with legit non-exploited giveaways) but i let him have it cause there wasnt much i could do.

/manly tear has been shed

ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME!

I support what you are doing completely, but another idea might be to warn people that the game they are submitting has been found to have been in a giveaway and will only count for $0.01 contributor value.

That would seemingly be the best idea, as people who really want to give something away will, and those who only want to giveaway for contributor won't.

cant you just ban them, everyone will catch on quick enough if the bans start to happen, some ppl only submit bundles to up the contrbution money, so there are fewer entries in the higher contributor giveaways and more chance to win off 1 dollar bundles

I have a question for you gentlemen. When these 'Bundlers' have served their suspension, does their bundle games get deducted from their total contribution. If it doesn't, it would be a bit unfair to others.

Death to the heretics!

Groups that do bundle key giveaways or even alone bundle key giveaways do we need to report them trough support? Cause there are a few private groups that like to do that kind of stuff.

Finarry!!!! I've been wraiting for someting rike dis. I can't wrait to shee it impremented! :>

for the new people; what is a bundle giveaway and why is it bad?

I bought a 4pack to do my giveaways; was that bad?

Bundlers can't read. They can't read FAQ, they can't read this.

What about exploited IGN Prime keys? I've noticed a lot in the last 2-3 weeks, and there so obvious because they have 40 giveaways and ALL are IGN Prime key's (like 10 King Arthur II keys in 1 giveaway)

Hmm I have so many questions, I'm sure whatever is planned to be implemented will help fend off ppl exploiting but this WILL hurt legit ppl as well..guess we'll see

& so basically were not to buy anything from steam now that's ever been in a bundle? Myself and many others do get steam tradables and even flash them in chats and put up inventory pics too

Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from cg.

Streamlining the process like this is the best way forward, I'd think. I can imagine how bogged down Support becomes with each new influx of bundle games being given away. Dingdongbannu might work well. :3

Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure we can all agree that we appreciate the time and effort y'all put into making this site a better place for the community. Cheers to you people! (Yes, support. That's you too!) :D

please just drop value of ship to 0 and remove any past giveaways ty :)
I have no idea how I can prove my legit "bundle" giveaways were not bundle keys tho shall I take ss from my inventory history??

Thumbs up for improving the enormous workload all those bundle key giveaways are causing. Why can't people simply read the rules when joining this community!? Well, gonna wait and see what you're up to, but seems to be something with the points for bundle games...

So bundles not allowed or what?

You should make a new section of sg where everyone can create giveaways for bundle games, but they won't get contribution value and everyone can enter them for free / for 1 point.

Yes baby yes! :) Nice to hear and now lets hope the final result is good! <3

Why not doing this: Until the moment the game was released in a bundle, it will have one type of entry, named "Bastion". After its released on a bundle people can't create giveaways for "Bastion".... Only for "Bastion [m]", and [m] or something like that would be to signalize the game was in a bundle and you will receive only $1 contribution or less...

This way people who created before will still have same contribution, and people who create after the game was in a bundle will get less ;)
