CV Question

Open
Djaxn

Giveaway A is a Steam item which is currently priced ati $10.00. It is on the Bundle Games list. So it is worth $1.50 Real CV for sent gift.

Giveaway B is the same game, but is a separate Store item. It is a package that includes the game and all DLC. It is currently priced at $15.00. The Package is not listed on the Bundle Games list.

Question: Is Game B worth $15.00 CV, or $2.25 CV?

$15.00 if it's never gone below 90-95% discount anywhere in the world or been in a bundle. Be careful, because the bundle list is updated retroactively, so you can be hit with bundling after the fact.

So, if I give away a game worth $10.00, which isn't on the BG list, and it's sold as part of a bundle a year later, the GA's CV is retroactively changed from $10.00 to $1.50?

No. If it was given before the bundle date, it is safe.

People that tend to complain about their items getting bundled after the fact gave it after it was bundled, but thought they could beat the one Support member updating the list to get full value. It doesn't work like that. :P

He meant the bundle list is updated by a single person, and sometimes it takes months for a sale to be shown on the list. The bundle list has a data for all games: every GA created for them after that date has the CV reduction, all of them before that retain their value.
The only thing that can retroactively drop CV for a game any time under any circumstance is if its non-sale base US price drops on Steam. So if your 60-dollar game is reduced to 20 eventually, you lose that 40 CV at that point.

$15.

On a completely unrelated note, be cautious about misrepresenting items. :D
