Did all the humble bundle games just become bundled?

All monthly bundles dont get on the bundle list. It needs to be 95% discount.

This is the first time this happened with a Humble monthly, I think?

There is also a warning in the bundle thread

CV:

12$ is cheaper than 95% discount, so this might be the first monthly considered as a bundle, in which case the CV would be 34.3395

If monthly cost 12 dollar and the limit is 95% Isnt the value 240$?

me too -.-

Basically, your steamgifts level is based on the value of games you've given away. Games fall into 3 categories:

• Full Price (you receive 1 point for every $1 the game costs)
• Bundled (you receive 0.15 points for every $1 the game costs) game must have been available anywhere in the world for 95% less than the base price in U.S. dollars
• Free (you receive no points for giving this game away)

Note that a game's presence on the bundle list or the free list has a starting date, so that if you give away a game before it goes on the bundle list you get full value, but if you give away the game after it goes on the bundle list you only get the discounted rate same for free games
Note that because it's impossible to keep track of all discounts everywhere in the world in real time, games might not be added to the bundle list until a few days (or sometimes weeks) later, but then the games will be added to the bundle list retroactively

There are 2 problems with your line of thinking:
1) is that there were sales that discounted games to >95% which makes a games cost very little (like a game that cost 10 euro costs a few cents) that "were easy to farm CV". With your definition this sale would not get "bundle" CV.
2) bundle sites sell packaged of AAA titles like a sale but call it a bundle; bundlestarts used to have a batman lego bundle which you could get all 3 lego batman games at 70% discount. By you definition these games would get a "bundle CV" but the users would have payed much more then "expected".

In short CG choose 95% discount to be the line; discount above it gets bundle CV and discounts below it get full CV.

I found this topic on SG to be quite interesting in regard to the "quantity v. quality (with price tag as measurement), and the way about middle way".

Specifically,

• if CV is raised for games with reduced SG value, then that may lead to increase in amount of GAs for bundled games (which if public get easily hundreds of entries within hours) while tho amount of GAs for game with non-reduced value may decrease.
• if CV is lowered for games with reduced SG value, then that may lead to the previous the other way around.

Both of course assumes that CV, respectivly resulting level therefrom, is considered relevant to many of the GA makers.

And what I sort of realized from thinking about it is that the whole reduced value concept seems somewhat weird about ensuring a middle way. I mean, not that I would agitate for abolishing such - partially since it would seem as conflict of interest when you look at what type of games I gave away, and partially also because I surely understand that $1 for bundled mostly meh-games giving CV of 20 is sure quite different to someone spending $10 for a nice $60 game (where $1 means CV of merely 6). But on the other hand no one is really preventing anyone to also purchase that CV 20 bundle with a dozen or more games users can enter GA for as they want if they want, while that $60 game GA perhaps is only in some group GA of a handful of friends with which it seems weird to talk about "contribution to SG community".
Anyhow, as said, imo quite interesting topic.

Punished? Lol...

eh. I made one giveaway I might not have made quite as quickly had I known, but in the end, people who give away games JUST to get CV have bigger issues than not getting quite as much CV

Yep a heads up would have been nice. I was entered in a few GAs that was level 5 I got removed from.

You still get 34 CV instead of 12.
