What happened to gaining contributor points?

This.

You gave away bundled games only?

None bundled games will boost cv after $30.00.

All except payday 1 was in bundles. Not sure why you didn't get CV for that as it was done via steam and they didn't give extra copies to people.

Course I suppose there would be a way to fool the system and that would be to make a private giveaway for X number of copies on the day its suppose to be released free with a bunch of people that know its suppose to be free and then when they "win" they all go to the steam page and load it up and then report it as received.

I really hope the admins thought of this and thats why you got bundle CV for it.
