contributor value of Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops its $20 or will decrease??

$20 unless its released in a bundle.

Crazy Machines is the same way. $1 will get you two $10 games.

They were never marked as a bundle the last time, so I doubt it.

no, the gala store bundles won't have "bundle" status

The problem is the price of this garbage at Steam store.

Gala store bundle isn't bundle for now, so $1=$20

oh, guess this explains all the giveaways for it

The disparity between how bundle games and deeply discounted games are treated is troubling. Not necessarily confusing, as it's easier to track what games have been in bundles than it is to keep track of every game that's ever been 75%+ off.

So the only reason people are giving away 4.. 8 or more copy of that shitty game is to trick the contributor value. The way bundle items don't apply to Gala Store bundles makes the whole system broken. It's just saying 'go ahead, exploit all you want since we don't care about those.'

i guess its time to set my contrib values even higher

Meh, this is annoying. It is obvious, that most giveaways are made from games on sale (honor to the guys, who actually make giveaways for non-sale games), but it still is a little annoying and disturbing, that these guys get 200bucks worth of cv for 10 bucks. >.<

Am fighting with myself right now if I should "exploit" it as well, or just leave it be and keep my dignity.

I haven't been doing this but I might spam this kinds of giveaway soon. My Two worlds 2 was bundled 3 days before the bundle started (I twas a fukeen tradeable too) but it is still counted as a bundled game. If that's how this site wants to play with the contrib value, then I guess I might play this kind of game in the future even though I'm against this viewpoint.

Here we go again.

Cryyy me a river.

Why all the people look only for contributor value, can't you simply do giveaways for games that you think are nice or that you think other people will appreciate? I myself haven't given so much but when I do this i try to give games I've played or that I would play not only games that will raise my contributor value...

Time to make some group giveaways, why don't you.

Contributor score don't mean a thing anyway. Let's abuse it.

Cause, truth to be told, back in the days when I bought BL2 for 40-50€, it got me 60 contributor score ($60), while right now 50€ would give me ~1300$ contributor score. Yeah, totally worth considering. And I honestly disagree with some winners of my giveaway for a variety of reason, not to say they came nowhere close to paying even a quarter of the cash required to enter the giveaway.

I don't really understand why everyone is so concerned, if you want to contribute and risk losing it, then go for it, otherwise be thankful that you're being bombarded with points to use for giveaways!

There have been other occasions where people have bought games and received 20x their payment in contribution from the Amazon bundles. If I remember correctly, after the $5 off coupon, you could get over $100 for $5 which is the same as $20 for $1 yet no one created a fuss then because it wasn't as obvious.

It's from a freaking bundle on the Indie Gala store. 95% discounted. I don't see why it isn't put on the 'bundle games' list.

What about that 0.000000000000000001% that wants it just to see how horrible it is there are people including me that are in the small precentage.

Well I gave away 2000$ in 2 months I did gave away discounted games, but also games I tough were good games, for me is not about contribution value, but the contribution seem also like some reward.

One thing is to give discounted games, like darksiders II or borderlands 2, even mark of the ninja that was discounted a lot, but in this particular cases I see them more like exploits.

Let's be honest Darksiders is having lees contribution value than Shadow Harvest I find it a little bit discouraging (talking about contribution value) to give games like Borderlands 2 that cost like 30$ give you 60$ contributor than spending 30$ on 1$ game and receiving 600$ contributor value.

I give games for the sake of it, with what I spend giving away I can buy the games I want, so is not to enter more exclusive giveaways, since that won even assure me winning just giving me more chances, and I will continue giving away games just today I bought Torchlight II to give it away.

But I don't know the contribution value is like some kind of placebo and seeing lost his meaning makes the value pointless.

Plus with all due respect those people giving away 10 shadow harvest or 10 crazy machines are not doing it because are trying to share, THEY are NOT doing because they are GOOD and trying to share I AM 100% sure of that, because why not buy a 10$ game (a much better game) instead of 10 1$ shitty game? the trending is clear, just for the contribution value.

Something should be done and the idea behind contribution should change.

i wonder why there are no more copys given away, did the value change after all?

Who cares? The contributor points are broken anyway and should be removed IMO.

So that's why I see crazy machines and shadow harvest flood...

Now the best way to get contributor value is happening with Men of War Assault Squad DLC Pack from Groupees BMA bundle. For $1 you get $20 contributor value lol. I thought these games were to be added on the bundle list at SG. Anyway I spent around 250P earlier on giveaways. Now I'm back to 300P in just a few hours, thanks to the flood of MoW AS DLC Pack giveaways :D

I just found out I have MoW AS DLC unlocked in my buy at Groupees, might give it away as well...

The Helldorado Bundle is back up for another 5 hours. Go get your cheap Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops keys @ Indiegala 0.99$
