Does Ship giveaways count for contributor points?

So they dont count?

Any indie bundle that gives individuals keys can be used to do this easily.

$1 to Groupees would do it.

The contribution was abused long before The Ship... the same kind of thing happened with those DLC Premium Cards, and Trine 1, Virus Named Tom keys.

If you don't want bundlers to enter your giveaway, just set contribution requirements to above $30. Problem solved.

20$ for first, 10$ for second.
If I were you, I'd honestly rather make a raffle on the forum or the first to solve a puzzle has to Steam-message you a secret keyword and gets the game. People would respect you more than basicly abusing the contribution system.
