What are you talking about?
Fortix is not on sale and is $1 for $1 CV. Just Cause is $0.27 for $7 of CV; that's why it's on the bundle list. It's not the fact that it's cheap, it's that the discount is too high.

Then that Iron tank sim game should be bundled since day 1 of sale.

"Wondering about the asterisk (*) next to certain games? Click here to learn more."
We rolled out a few important updates to the site today.
The first major change is the way contributor values are calculated. In short, the update limits giveaways that might have originated from a bundle to 20% of your total value (Note: Giveaways created prior to a bundle always receive full value). Please review the threads from earlier in the week for the full details. Keep in mind, we'll continue to improve this system as time goes on.
There's no longer a restriction on what games can be given away, assuming they're not guest passes or beta keys. Anything found in the drop down menu when creating a giveaway is allowed. If you're gifting a game from a bundle, please review that bundle's terms of service to ensure you have permission to do so. If you believe a giveaway needs to be removed, please use the report button. There's no reason to post accusations in the comments, and users doing so may be suspended for inappropriate behavior. We'll review reported giveaways, and remove them if necessary. The new system will ensure contributor values are not overly inflated by bundle games.
Thanks to everyone in the community for all the feedback the past week, and I believe we created a system that's fair for everyone. It still leaves room for improvement, and there are a number of great suggestions in the previous thread we'll be exploring in the coming weeks.

Maybe the * should be named "reduced CV" games, since Just Cause is not a bundle game?

Youre right again but i started to think that discount is a sale strategy.Look how many copies they have sold in hours i dont think they could sell if the discount was not that huge and if thats a real bug is Valve sleeping?Thanks for arguing TheShobo in a respectable way...

But JC is not a bundle game! Yes, it has a huge discount, but many games on this sale have similar discounts like -80, -85 percent, so why only JC is marked with *?? It's totally contradicts the current rules of this site.

Really now?
Check the bundle list. I added Tryst back in January because it was 95% off.
Edit: I'd like to add it to the FAQ for the people who don't have enough common sense to understand that something so easily exploitable will be added to the bundle list but I don't have those permissions.

From what I can see on the forums, Tryst was added to the bundle list and then removed later. It's not marked as a bundle game right now (*) on the create giveaway screen. Also, how is anyone supposed to know about this rule? Maybe make a forum topic about it if you can't edit the FAQ and then try to get cg to add it into the FAQ? It seems more known that price errors don't usually get added to the bundle list so I'm not sure your 95% rule is common sense, although I don't disagree with it.

I am complaining, the rules should be absolutely clear in advance to anyone willing to read them, like me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed. The FAQ needs to be updated and state this clearly, that games which receive 95%+ discounts and are available for a respectable amount of time (more than say 1 hour) will be placed on the bundle list (if they aren't already).

The whole reason for limiting CV from bundled games is because of their insanely low average price per game. Just Cause is insanely cheap now so it deserves no CV.

Guys, stop *****ing. You didn't pay much. Give it to friends, or be like me, and use it to boost your giveaway slots, so you can give even more. I only wish I had more than 6 copies, that will only get me two extra slots. Not nearly enough for a really big Fortix giveaway.
