More then half my contribution taken away!

Yup, same with Serious Sam: Complete pack, Take Down: Red Sabre, Payday etc.

This.

That's not an exploit - it's all planned. In Germany the game is on 93% off for 0,99€ which would be about $1.36.

Yes, it is exploitable. If you don't want to worry about your's CV buy games which are 85% off and don't give you extra copies, when you activate one (this apply to Take Down)

The forum where you are complaining had a topic stating this would happen. Not our problem if you didn't check first.

And you chose to spend the money trying to exploit the system. Don't blame anyone but yourself.

Well you are new, so you can't know that bundle list works retroactive. This is done to prevent people from buying lots of copies to gather lots of CV.

If you would read forum you would notice that topic like this is really common here. And this maybe would stop you from GA 7 copies of this game.

And "This is totaly unfair, and very ironic because you give stuff away for free..." if you would think like that you wouldn't carry for your CV. CV system is best solution at the moment and noone will change it ;)

Someone tried to tell you not to throw your money to the trash.

Yeah, life is unfair.

Nope, it only backdates to the first day of the sale when you could get them cheap.

The addition to bundle list is retroactive to when the exploitable deal first started.

93% off in the US, so over 95% off in the cheaper regions

You gave away 7 copies of a 93% off game (and even cheaper in some regions, which got it the 95% off the American price that this site requires for the exploit list). A heavy discount like this is considered exploitable, and a flood of giveaways proves it was by many people.

Perhaps you might not have exploited, but other people did. Unfortunately, one or two bad apples can ruin it for everyone.

You did get a good deal, both gamewise and CV-wise. As I said before, 30+ CV for 5 dollars spent isn't too bad.

you can always leave the site if you think it's unfair

"I been blamed as exploiter "

That's exactly what you are though.

It was quite obviously your intention to exploit the cv system, so stop whining. You wanted to get as much cv as possible for as little money as possible. And that was the only reason why you gave away those games. Too bad your plan didn't work out. Next time do a little bit more research before you try to exploit the system.

Also, your post doesn't make any sense. If you are no exploiter then why do you even complain? You gave away multiple copies of this awesome game with a metascore of 36 because you felt everyone should have a chance to play it. And you didn't care about your cv at all. If that is true, where is the problem?

You should not see giving away games here as an investment. Spending money to get in on higher-cv giveaways with slightly higher chance of winning a game doesn't pay out. You're much better off spending your money on the games you want for yourself than relying on winning them.

Try looking up giveaways with CV of $115 and see how many entries there still are. You will only be disappointed if you think higher CV = easy winning.

"Investing"? In a website whose main purpose is to allow people to give games away to random strangers?

You're doing it wrong, dawg...

If you want to "invest" your money, youre on the wrong place. You tried to exploit the CV-system, but you failed...deal with it.

the only people who have an issue with the system are precisely the people trying to exploit it
