Because most games on Steam don't cost exactly $X.00

They tend to cost $(X-1).99

AND, if you do that, then things like this happen to people who haven't contributed a lot, yet have contributed: https://i.imgur.com/lNTYaJW.png

And, if that happens, then they would have to pay to make up for that one cent, but, almost nothing costs $0.01. It's usually a lot more than that.

How about we make giveaways with any value we want. We are the ones doing them.

Also, here is a giveaway for Power-Up.

Well, then you are severely underestimating people. In order to put a contribution requirement of 10$, they must have already given away at least 5$, so they most likely know pretty well that whatever they gave away wasn't a round number either.
If a giveaway has exactly 0.01$ above what you have (or any number above what you have)... well, then I guess whoever made it didn't make it for you. Just ignore it and move on- nothing gained, nothing lost.

I haven't been here for two years. My first ATTEMPT at registering may have been two years ago, but I have been on for less than one year. And, it took me a LONG time to get that $100 worth of games in my library.

Thanks to your comment here, I'm tempted to make a 30.00$ giveaway here. Not 30.01$, just the bundle max to appreciate those who don't give a damn about the phony 'be a true giver and not only give away bundled games' policy here, but that are still giving the most of what they can. There are a lot of 1$ bundles out there to get you up to 30$ CV here. No matter where you are, that's NOT a lot of money.

It will happen all we want.

You too can enter a $10CV giveaway by simply giving away more.

1) look for user with a certain game on wishlist

2) make giveaway of said game with a contributor requirement 1 cent above the CV of that particular user

3) ???

4) profit

Soooo, contribute something else. It's below the $30 dollar benchmark anyway. IMO, all contributor giveaways should be $30.01 or higher! Since you essentially get free $30 CV with bundle games.

We saw, we don't care. Its for people who donated games of that value or more. He only cares because he wants to enter more with his single bundle game giveaway.

I never bought any bundles on sale. I bought a single game for full price, and donated it here a a while ago.

Its a bundled title, so I'll refer to it as such.

And buying a game at full price to giveaway here? You are either silly, or believe me to be such.

Either way, it doesn't change things. The creator sets the CV. We aren't required to follow your suggestion.

Did you know?
x.991 = x.99, so don't use .00
x.99
2 = 2x.98, so don't use .99 either
x.993 = 3x.97, so don't use .98 either
x.99
[4...9] = .96-.91, so don't use .97-.92 either
x.99*10 = .90, so don't use .91 either.

TL;DR use very high contributor values so no one cares...

This is what I wanted to point out. Depending on the the number of X.99 games you gave away to reach your current CV, your CV's cents can be really different.

Also, I support the notion that people make whatever cv they want, and you shut your trap, k? If suddenly all GA's had 100$ CV, I'd just raise mine to be able to enter. Simple. Well not so... Need to find a job for that 1st...

All i see are a bunch of trolls and childish comments, was going to write something about how much "supportive" are steamgifts users, but anyway...
I mean, it's ok to put whatever requirement you wish and state that, but creating giveaways 1 cent higher than OP's cv just to troll...that's a bit over the limit for me.

You're right, but all i see are just users with 2000 and more games in their account trolling the poster putting the requirement 1 cent above... it' ok to decide the requirement for yourself, but to troll like this...

His attitude doesn't really deserve sympathy. He just wants to enter more without giving more.

Why should I have to give more? I paid my money. If I could have paid the full $10.00, I would have. But, since that was/is not possible, I would have to buy something else. What can be bought with $0.01?

I think it's pretty obvious he's trying to enter more ,however, there's no need to troll. I think that it's your attitude that doesn't deserve approval; i'm actually blaming it. You could just say "i just decide the requirement for myself, as i'm the one doing the giveaway", or not respond at all.

Please don't answer to me if you're going to keep that childish attitude of yours, as were's not going anywhere

I just gave away two DLC to break through that magic 30.01$ barrier. Do you honestly think that this only gets trolled by '2000$+ accounts'? He's just trying to get more out of his CV. 99% of the giveaway here are bundled games with no CV restriction anyway, so what's the point of this complaint? He won't be able to get any real 'value' out of this rant anyway, so just don't feed the real troll.

re read my comment... i'm just saying it's ok to put whatever requirement you want, but not to troll like this. There's no need to be mean, you could just not answer at all, you know, there's also that option.
By the way, it's obvious that OP is trying to get more out of his cv, but that's not the point of my comment.
Let's just be clear, because it looks like people just can't get it: OP is wrong, but there's no need to be mean and troll.

Yes it is. The only one who decides the setting is the one making the giveaway.
