Most bundles, yes, but not all. Some bundles offer well more than 8 CV per $ spent, sometimes more than 10 even. To get even just 8 CV per $ on a non-bundled game, it would have to have an 87.5% discount. Possible steeper Russian store discounts that are hard to research could quickly get you to the lethal 95% discount that suddenly turns your good CV deal into a horrible CV deal. Then you have to consider that the bundle list may not have been updated, and the (probably) higher likelihood of Steam price drops over time on non-bundled games vs. already bundled games.
Anyways...I'll stick to primarily (good) bundles. :)

True true, but most bundles aren't that great in that respect. Wanted just to point out that most bundle games generally aren't the big problem for "unfair CV gain" that many still view them to be. Like you pointed out, give some ru games and you'll get way more. In the end it's pretty complicated taking it that far with the calculations ;-)

While i understand that you can't always give away non-bundle games, you have to remember that, honestly, not everyone is a winner. If everybody could reach level 10, it wouldn't become special again. So many people seem to feel "entitled" (whether you do or not is not for me to say) to higher levels, and can only complain that they can only give away bundle games. That's great, it really is. I understand and empathize more than most people would realize that funds are low, but that's life. Someone always has it better off. If that's all you can do, then accept it, and move on, because just as some people can give away non bundles all day, some people can't pay for a roof over their heads, or food in their bellies. This affects all users, not just you. Some will suffer more for it, but, honestl,y like with the rest of life, you have to accept it and move on.

It is a current bug indeed, for further information check this thread :)
It should be fixed soon and with that, CV will increase again.

I'm guessing all the bundle games becomming free at indiegala every week. Which means those games get deleted from the list, which means your CV drops.

It's that or the baseprice of all the games is decreasing more and more, i see geoglitch posted something about bugs of games with 0 CV.

All the possibilities have been listed now in this thread.
It's one or more of them. That's all.
EDIT: Correction -- one possibility is missing. Games you gave away may have been retro-actively added to the bundle list, dropping your CV for those GAs by 85%.

Consider also that sometimes there bugs that will give you more CV than you actually have.

Do you know what caused it btw? Almost everything you have is bundled, so such large drops shouldn't happen. (Of course, supposing you didn't give away something just bundled for the first time.)

Wait, no, I can't count, nm :P There is a discrepancy in the values though. For example: for some reason AppGameKit is reported to give you 35$, while it appears to be only 100$ in the store (so 15$).

I went down from 3.6 to 2.08 in a couple of hours.

Yep, I went down in the last couple of days too and went I look at the real CV value of each GA that I did, several are now value at 0CV, so I am guessing that it's a bug. Especially since it's so many different games and also happening to lots of people at the same time... Hopefully i get resolve soon cause I am soooo close to level 5 & now have to do that much more GA to get there since it drop:( Oh well, all we can do is wait and see what will happen!

Wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read this thread. Lost a level.
So it seems like 90% off games got added to the bundle list now (before it was 95%.)

Was never bundled ever, but 90% in steam sales.
Due to this change, I suppose half the community is affected by a drop down.

Exactly, I bought this game from steam, yet it now counts as bundled game (eventhough never was really bundled).

I noticed, that my CV is falling very fast in the past, even when I do Giveaways...
3 weeks ago, i had a CV of 4.68
2 weeks ago, i had a CV of 4.44
1 week ago, i had a CV of 4.38
and all the time i was doing GAs
i did 14 GAs last week and at the end i was at 4.50 yesterday and now i'm again at 4.48, why? none of the unbundled games were bundled since then and i'm doing more and more GAs just to keep up my CV, why is this happening?
EDIT1: Real CV says i'm at 62.63% before i got Lvl 5 so this really must be a SG bug...
