I am a big fan of Indie Games , I mean it I know theyre not Skyrims but then again theyre not priced the same so here is my story .
I read the whole story about bundlers and it took me a while to word this correctly without using F**@ as every second word . I
love giving indie games cos theyre cheap and sometimes really fun but the bundlers have pretty much ruined that cos now it looks like Indie that have been in bundles are gonna be worthless on the contributor value(I might be wrong or right). I will be honest I do want a contributor score/value on my S.gifts account but I also wish to give games that when I buy them support the Indie devs cos in all honesty they struggle a lot more than Big Company Devs . So I am really sad to see that this has happened just because people cannot obey rules , are consumed by greed and have not respect . Now do not get my wrong not everyone who has given games are what I listed but the guys who are (bundlers) are the few lines I listed . I mean Ive bought a lot of my indie game giveaway stuff from Daily's and Sales . Now Im buying non Indie games to avoid getting into trouble with S.gifts cos Ive given Indies that ended up in Bundles and It just saddens me that this has happened cos now if I want to keep a contributor status I need to giveaway non Indies .

Imo, I really like people being able to giveaway games from HiB 1-5, IG 1-7, etc. Mostly because I missed almost all of them except for HiB 5 and IG 6+7.

Well, HiB 1-5 were already allowed, because they are single keys for all games(except the bta bonus), so any people that have HiB to giveaway, should create a HiB giveaway specifically.

I just read the whole thing through and I see your point but calling people parasites is still a bit harsh.

The poeple that post tons of indie bundle keys are parasites because their bad/rude/ignorant behavior is affecting many people .

It's a combination of the bundlers and contributor points elitists.

S.Gifts is the fairest way to do giveaways and I would like to giveaway my spare/unwanted keys here but I don't like the first 5 posts of my giveaway to be people spamming "REPORTED" or "READ THE FAQS".

Yes that is a problem but that is not relevant to the subject at hand ! :/

Many bundles ask the buyers to refrain from separating games between people. Please buy a gift url instead and give that away. Support the cause. :)

people are giving beta keys via forum, now also skullripper gives beta keys in his group via chat i dont really see a problem with that. if you cannot create a giveaway of some spare keys doesn't mean that you cannot give them away. I've posted some keys via chat as well. those were games that i didnt want and costed me less than 1$ per game i dont feel i would deserve contrib score for that

Exactly my point I give all my extra indie bundle keys to friends EG : I got lots of spare copies from Indie Gala cos I always buy at happy hour and then I give them to friends ... WHY DO PEOPLE make giveaways for them here ? :(

This. As I mentioed. S.gifts is the simplest (meaning less work for me) and fairest way to do giveaways.

Ask a real trader - the value of a game isnt represended by steam store regular price but in most cases the cheapest ever price.
If i would want to get a game that was in a bundle i would never but it for like 10$ even if it was sold by a guy who bought it for 20$. most of the games that were in bundles have a real value of 1-2$ (maybe around 3 in some cases) or even less.

BTW: the devaluation of games is not only a problem with indie games. you can also get lower contrib score becouse you gave away the game when it was relased and after a year or 2 the price is 2 times less. the price of indie games just drop quicker, deal with it

If I can and want, I still do giveaways for indie games, even for those that had been featured in bundles. All I have to do is link to my inventory to show that the giveaway is legitimate and not an act of bundling. And of course it goes without saying I don't raffle games featured in a bundle DURING the bundle's time.
