I did a giveaway for a humble indie bundle that my freind gave me. He told me it was okay since I didnt want any of the games on it, and I guessed someone on here would want it instead. But as soon as the giveaway ended the site decided that i was giving away the $1 version instead of the whole bundle. There wasnt a choice when i made the giveaway, and its like the site is punishing people for giveaways they made before the change. There should at least be a warning, or at least give people full credit that made giveaways before the change. I dont care about it that much, but its annoying when things like this happen. All I ask is the site say something beforehand, and give us a chance to change our giveaways, instead of apparently punishing us for it.

Well then why did you pick the Below Average bundle? When there is the Above Average bundle you could have selected

The bundle was retroactively changed to have multiple listing. When it was first added there was only one choice.

He meant he made the giveaway, and then the two choices for indie bundles came in

Yes. I know. I was pointing out where in the OP it said exactly that.

I thought the two choices were there as soon as you could put them up.

Nope, at first there was only a single choice.

If you haven't given the gift code yet you could always buy a $1 humble bundle (it's open for another 4 hours) and give that away instead.

Let me repeat that, because I think I don't fully get it:

You feel "punished" because you do not receive full contributor value for a bundle you've given away after a friend gave to you?

Yeah, that's capital punishment right there, I feel your pain.

Because the only kind of punishment is capital punishment?

The HIB is 1$ worth because everyone can buy it for 1$ and it would be not fair if the creator would get more. If you have BTA there is an option for this when you create the giveaway.

PS: You got the bundle for free so you should get nothing, since you didn't spend money on it.

For free?
Like how you got The Ship for free and either REGIFTED or gave away the FREE copy of the game it gives?
Go play on the highway, hypocrite.

  1. I don't care much about my contributor value and i didn't know what i should do with the extra copy

  2. I have never complained in the forum about my contributor value

  3. You can look at my profile and see that i have not regifted it

  4. You have given away 3x Zero Gear from a bundle and Shadowground which you got for free and now you are complaining about me? -.-

1). No one in this thread, except you just now, mentioned contributor value as the issue in your case.
2). No one in this thread, except you just now, mentioned you complaining about contributor value.
3). I never said you DID regift it, I just offered it as one of the possibilities when all of the no fucks I give about you ran out after clicking the link to your profile.
4). I never complained about giving away free games, YOU did. I mentioned that your stance is hypocritical since you, yourself, gave away a game you got for free.

Points 1, 2 and 4 are what you would call a "straw man" argument. You are misrepresenting what I said... or, more accurately in this case, flat out MAKING SHIT UP.

And no, Zero Gear was NOT from a bundle when I gave it away. I bought the 4 pack when it was on sale this summer, so suck it.

The "Above average" bundle can't be obtained for $1. You had to pay over $6 to get it. Yes, he got it for free but he could have kept it, traded it or sold it back to someone else. He chose to give it over here and is simply annoyed that the giveaway value doesn't reflect what he gave away just because the list didn't include the two choices at the time.

He is saying that there wasn't 2 versions when he added it, so he ended up with BTA one when they added the other one... That is my taking.

You guys are wrong.
When the bundle was first added there were NOT two options.

OP just need to give to the winner, and make a support ticket to have this corrected.
That is all.

How come that someone joined in the other guys giveaway before the OP's? Or does site flip coin on what one giveaway becomes?

I would assume that cg manually checked them, and converted the one where the gifter said it was to the Above Average bundle.
Since the OP didn't specify in the description, it defaulted to the lower one.

I made mine before they added the other options and it was above average and listed as such since I put it in the description

I adjusted your giveaway. We added two options for all the Android bundles a few days ago, above and below average. If you mentioned in your description it was for the full bundle, it was automatically corrected.
