Donation amount dropping

Tell me about it, I bought Defiance 4 days ago it then dropped all the way down to $10 yesterday, had I waited just a little longer....

Edit, even worse is when it will be 75% off and only $2.49...

:)

nice,nice

Oh no, this is indeed a sad day for all SG community, I think we need to make this day a memorial day to remember Aeni's great contribution to the community.

FYI the only time your CV drops is if the Steam reported value of the games you've gifted decreases. If a game is available in a bundle after you've gifted it, it doesn't change a thing.

All of which is only a problem if you CV is some sort of magic number. It's a rough estimate that roughly gauges how much you've contributed to the community. I'm not hearing anyone complain about the 20% bonus CV we get from bundle games.

You haven't donated for over a year anyway, do you really think we would believe you might have done more?

sad to hear, you haven't ''DONATED?!'' in a year now.

If a game gets bundled it doesn't affect your CV only when your giveaway ends before the bundle. I've seen this problem before. I once created a giveaway before the bundle, but later on the game got bundled earlier than my giveaway's end time making its value dropped, so I asked for support and got a confirmation.

CV used to be a number on your profile and nothing else. The contributor's giveaway are supposed to be a way to thank those who have contributed to the site. In a sense they partially replaced some of the group-only giveaways that happened before. Yes, it's nice to be allowed into some extra giveaways but giveaways should still be made for the sake of giving, and not for the side perks.

"Collateral"

I think "investment" is the worser word

eppai. That's works kind of well?

Relevance?

That's nice, but I don't remember my joining Steamgifts suddenly triggering a flurry of game discounts.

I fail to see your point.

But unless you bought them at full price, you still paid a lot less than what you get credit for. And honestly, those who are generous enough to give away games bought at full price are usually the ones who care the less about their CV.

You came to this forum to open the same thread many other people did before you to simply say the "system is shitty".
Don't be surprised if people react negatively.
If you said this without all the "i stopped using this site" and "shitty system", there wouldn't be so much hate.

I agree with what LAW666 said though. If someone gives a game worth 30$, this value shouldn't decrease afterwards. It doesn't make much sense when it happens, why is it retroactive?

Sacrifices to the thunder god are also acceptable.

actually, you're supposed to give games away because you're a good person, and take whatever reward is given to you as a bonus, not a requirement
