This site's original purpose was to allow people who maybe had an extra game from a bundle to safely give it away. The CV rules now effectively disqualify those who would do as this site did in the beginning from additional benefits.

This sort of feels wrong to me. What do you guys think?

P.S. My Steam account was hacked so I made a new one, but my old account had been on here for a long time.

What? I don't get this. You give away more, you get more chances to get more.

Bundled games can now only be 20% of your CV, or 30.00, whichever is higher.

So buying a 2-5$ bundle should give the maximum CV for every game?

Yep, Until your CV reaches to 30$

CV has created the same disparity on this site that exists in real life off the net. The rich looking down on the poor and getting the best of everything. of course its just human nature so no one can be blamed.

Disqualify? Additional benefits?

Take a look around, many people are still giving away bundle games... I think if you're only making giveaways to get something in return, you're doing it wrong. :)

I agree. That's why there shouldn't be any CV capped giveaways. CV should be publicized, and groups should use it, but open GAs should be open to all.

the majority of giveaways are "open to all", or have a cv of less than $30

Regardless. There are enough that aren't.

At the beginning, you weren't allowed to give away your bundle games. So no, it isn't unfair. I also think its quite fair to soft cap the value of such games. When you consider that some bundles have been as good as $200 of games for a $1 payment, bundled titles really need some limit on the value you can gain from them. Its quite easy to just spend some cash on regular sales and work from there, or you could just ignore CV, since it doesn't make much difference unless you plan on giving away thousands of dollars worth in games.

This. When I joined, bundle keys where still a suspension-worthy offense, don't complain.

It's either this, no bundle games at all, or everyone has a gazillion CV. You choose.

Nah, just kidding-- SGv2 is on its way so you can get over the CV thing and cry about whatever new focal point the site has.

And I shall be sad. While I rarely make CV based giveaways myself, it was still nice to be able to cut out some of the drek with $0CV and 0 comments, but more entries and wins than me. Not so sure I want to resort to only private groups to get the good people after all.

Bundle keys were only allowed to be given away an entire year after the site was first founded. Before then, giving away an extra bundle key was a suspend-able offense.
