Why was the value of the DOTA 2 copy I gave away dropped?

Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Also, most likely yes. Although CS:GO probably won't become F2P like Dota 2, so don't expect it to go anything below 20-25 bucks.

They drop the value of all games when they go down in price, and DOTA has dropped in price quite a bit. So it's not like it's something unique to DOTA. It's just something they do whenever the 'base price' of a game changes.

Dota 2 dropped in point price because of the amount of people that were giving away beta keys as well as the invites, this may happen for CS:GO however it is unlikely as there are not as many giveaways for CS:GO

It's far more efficient to link everything to one database than to record individual values at the specific time of the giveaways. It's also quite a bit easier to manage and develop.

Also, learn to read guys. Way to be helpful or relevant.

Of course they will.
People were buying them for 5 bucks and it showed as 50$ here.

Notice that people who gave away only Dota 2's stop doing giveaways too.

They will do the same with CS:GO if it drops that much, which, according to what the devs said, will happen sooner or later.

Bigger gifting value = bigger e-peen, amirite?

It is inflation.

What does it change for you? You had a gift value of $99.96, and now you have a value of $59.96. How does it affect your life? Do you think that the person that received the game is enjoying it less because of this value drop?
If it makes you feel better, the person that won your game has 171 hours in it, but recommended it as "PIECE OF SHIT". Don't ask me what does it mean because I have no idea either.

Demons, demons made it so.

took survey at hte beggining but still no csgo :(
