I think contribution points from bundle giveaways are capped at $30.

But don't get discouraged! Many gamers can still enjoy the games from your giveaways even if you don't get contribution points for them. Cheers!

Max bundle contribution = Non-bundled contribution * 0.2 + 30

So if your non-bundled contribution is $100, you can give away $50 ($100 0.2+$30) in bundled games before you are capped.
If your non-bundled contribution is $200, you can give away $70 ($200 0.2+$30) in bundled games before you are capped.
...
If your non-bundled contribution is $4000, you can give away $830 ($4000 * 0.2+$30) in bundled games before you are capped.

This system is in place so that people cannot just give away bundled games and farm contribution. If you want your bundled contribution cap to increase, you must also give away non-bundled games.

Examples help, if you're math-challenged. Also, all you need to get from that: "you can't go above $30 just by giving away bundle games". :)

Ok, do you know what "Max bundle contribution" represents? Do you know what "Non-bundled contribution" represents? So now if you know one, there's a clear relationship to find the other:

Max bundle contribution = Non-bundled contribution * 0.2 + 30

I find it insulting that analytic incompetence is flaunted. You wouldn't brag that you can bench forty pounds or that you have trouble getting an erection. Those examples have very little practical effect on your life. Your ability to understand how your mortgage works or how the lottery works is incredibly important to your life.

Bundle games (marked with a * in the creation drop down menu) are limited to a max of $30 unless you give away other titles. Once you give away regular games that weren't bundled, that amount will increase.

The information concerning contributor values from bundle games is not included in the FAQ, but in this non-sticked separate thread.

I still think it's a bit too hidden. Tt should be stickied, in the FAQ or on the giveaway page (a link for it)

Yes, of course. Even the FAQ itself, among many other things, is too hidden for new users.

It's their fault for not searching the website beforehand.

While I'm annoyed by people who are too lazy to familiarise themselves with the site or search the forums as much as the next guy, I still think the site could be more accommodating to new users in this regard and that overall usability could be improved.

I think it's stupid not to read the FAQ, and think you should be more encouraged to do so when joining, I put no blame on people who doesn't search the forums after things they've got no idea exists.

When first joining, members should be prompted to read the FAQ and be provided with a link to all neccessary information. That goes with most sites, but here it's a tad more important, I'd say.

I've never read the FAQ before, I just see how people get banned and I do the opposite of what they do pretty much. Most of the time it's just common sense though... I usually wait before I ask my own questions if it's relevant. Most of the time it'd be answered already on the forums from another person xD.
