Zero contribution for Indie Gala X games?

Eventually you start losing value for any game that is in a bundle that was given away, so that you don't really earn any. I think after giving 5 bundle games you don't get any contributor + unless you start giving away games that aren't from bundles.

You must be already at your bundle game contributor cap limit. If you want to raise it you have to give away non bundled games.

Steamgifts detect if you're always tracking your contr value.

Once SG detected that you are tracking and worrying so much about your contr value. It just makes all your future giveaway value to 0 until you stop caring for your contr value

bundle games only give value up to some% of your total.

Thanks for the info. Wish SteamGifts would post something about this in their FAQ.

Giving 1$ for games and getting 10$ in contrib. value was silly, so they put a limit on that to prevent the site from going to "steambundlegifts"

Yeah, I think you misunderstood. I think its you get about $25 contributor grace for bundle games, but any bundle games you give away after that won't count unless your total number of games given away is mostly non-bundle. As I understand it, the "value coming from bundle games can only contribute to 20%.". That's 20% of your total value of games given away, not 20% of the full value of the bundle game itself.

This was done to prevent people from buying loads and loads of bundle keys for extremely cheap just to pump up their contributor values. It's great that you're giving away games, but you're not going to get the full contributor amounts for them cause dems the rules.

offtopic: i believe the guy that won your 1 entry group giveaway for the valve complete pack did not activate it. you should check it out.
