I just think it's unfair on steamgifts part that....

Nope. Majority of giveaways weren't purchased at the full price anyways.

1st world problems ;)

This has been brought up time and time again, honestly it doesn't matter, most people don't buy games to gift unless they are on sale anyways so it going down a bit doesn't seem unfair to me.

Just my opinion.

"I mean at the time that we gave the gift, it was at the full price."

Not exactly true in every case.

what if it was like 100$ and for other country its 50$.(this is just example, lulz)

i mean about MW3.

ok take saints row 3 most can say they picked it up for 16.99 on sale... what if one day the price droppedto $9 would that be fair?

I haven't noticed that happen yet, but I'm still relatively new here. I guess it would be a bit disappointing to have your contributor credit reduced because a game had its price lowered. They're using a current value for a past contribution, which kind of seems off. I guess there's not much we can do about it though. As previously noted, most people probably get games they contribute on sale or for free somehow, so they probably didn't actually spend as much as their credit is anyway. I would probably be more annoying to see the contributor credit drop below what you did paid, but again, I suppose we can't avoid it if that's how things go.

To be clear guys, i'm not deeply bothered by it nor do I feel necessarily "ripped off" or anything. it's just a little disappointing, that's all. but there's nothing i can do about it :)) mehe!

I agree but there's nothing they can do about it. It would be much more time consuming to figure out another system.

Perhaps contributor value could be locked at the point value of the giveaway, and be stored as an individual string assigned to the account instead of just being a math formula? That way we'd have an accurate assessment of how much someone's contributed; this is how many points total their created giveaways have cost to enter, while they were open.

We understand the issue everyone has with the way the site currently updates, but please understand this really wasn't an issue up until two or three weeks ago. The admin is aware of the disappointment expressed by many members and we are looking into alternatives.

I don't care about contributor value or whatever. Steam account value would be more important to me hehe
