Portal $20 + $67 bundled games gave you for a very short time,not always, $87. The correct value is $20 + $25 + 42x20/100,which it is now.

We've only been asking for a notice on the "Create a Giveaway" page for months now.

3 of the games you gave away were bundle games. The value of bundle games you give away is capped at $30 + %20 of the value of all the non-bundle games you've given away.

Portal 2 is not a bundle game, so you get $20 for that plus $34 for the bundle games (since 4 is 20% of 20). Thus your contributor value is $54. I f you were to give away another non-bundle game worth $10, your contributor value would go up by $12 since you've got some "uncounted" bundle giveaways.

So, if 5/6th or more of your giveaways are non-bundle, you'll get the full contributor value for all the games you give away, but if more than 1/6th are bundle, you'll not get some of the value from those bundle games.

Just wanted to let you know that "gyp" is racist. It's derived from "gypsy", and is related to the stereotype that gypsies are thieves.

Good thing I used jip rather than gyp, eh?
"Comes from the TV Term JIP, which means Joined in Progress, the saying actually came from live tv, going over its time limits and cutting the beginning of a show in the current time slot."

I'm pretty sure someone made this up >.<

From a more reliable source:
"It’s often said that to gyp derives from gypsy, and it seems highly probable. However, direct evidence is lacking, and the term arose in the US, where gypsies have been less common than in Europe. Gypsies don’t call themselves that, by the way, but Roma, from their word Rom, a man. The verb only began to appear in print near the end of the nineteenth century and took some time to become well known"
" it may equally well come from the obsolete gippo, a menial kitchen servant; this once meant a man’s short tunic, from the obsolete French jupeau."

No no, TV shows went over the time limit and thus "stole" programming time from the next time slot. Like I said, pretty sure someone made that up

The origins really depend on who you believe as the Oxford English Dictionary states that the word was first used in English in 1514. The OED has been around since the late nineteenth century which could be the print that your quote is referring to.

If you wanted to avoid every term or quote that could potentially cause offense, you might as well not be speaking. The majority of legal systems would not consider it a derogatory term, so I don't think you should worry! :p
