Wow, 150 points to enter.

As soon as the price drops back to normal so will peoples CV

The CV value will be fixed soon, I think.

Thank you for the tutorial.

It will be fixed

And they will cry

Hurry! the mods are sleeping!

It's not an exploit.

Steam is reporting bogus prices right now and there is nothing we can do about it.
As soon as Steam gets its act together the prices will readjust, including people's CV.

A) i am one of these people with one of those "exploited giveaways"

B) I've made it very clear on said giveaway, this is not an exploit. i purchased 2 copies, and didn't want 1 of them.
The contribution value WILL decrease once the issue is sorted.
Those who are all "you scammer, you're going to go to hell for your sins". well.. to be put bluntly. screw them, i am fed up with people who joined 2 weeks ago, to criticize people like myself, who have given hundreds to this site. All the dedication and support just so they can tell me that i am a bad person.

C) that "exploited" giveaway will be my LAST public one.

EDIT
Nope. don't care anymore. Those whiny little runts get nothing.
Giveaway cancelled. no free game for anyone.

inb4 "My CV has dropped for no reason" threads

Oh, wait...

It's also happening with Zeno Clash. It is only coming up as 40 instead of 10, not as big of an error, and also Zeno Clash is a bundle game so people can only get 30 dollars from it anyway, but it is still something to take note of. I'd be fine if they counted Hospital Tycoon as bundled, that's what they did with Just Cause 2 (one that I actually took advantage of not knowing that it was a price error on Steam, weirder prices have happened during Summer Sales), so it seems fair that is what should be done here.

Fix'd.
Edit: For now. If Steam gives false information the value will jump again, but it'll be taken down to the normal value eventually.
Edit2: Yeah, Steam's overriding the correct value with its false price. Well, unfortunately it'll stay that way until Steam fixes this problem.

GabeN strikes at our doors again. Ready your defenses, or prepare to get buttseked.
EDIT: Pardon if you find it offensive.

Those people should be suspended. It's laughable to see some of those people also had created a few Just Cause giveaways when there was a pricing error as well. Exploiters.

CV will sort itself out once the price 'drops' back down. Until it is though people can enter higher cv giveaways but that'll hopefully be fixed soon.

mmm, I thought it is Theme Hospital, almost entered one of those. Glad I did not, would be waste of points.

As others have noted, the price will be corrected and these people will only have the value they should have in the first place. In the meantime, we'll gleefully re-roll any contributor giveaways they win with their temporarily inflated values. This is not an exploit, this is simple idiocy for the rest of us to point at and laugh.

haha so many ragers, <3 you all

What's even better is when you entered all these when they were 5 points, leave while they are 150 and you get 150 points for leaving them.

not only that has wrong price, but Zeno clash also

Its fixed now! Enter all the Hospital Tycoon giveaways ASAP

Commander Keen is 70 points aswell :o

Audiosurf is $20 instead of $10

aw, I was late in the party. I'd be blacklisting people who are obviously exploiting the opportunity left and right i'd imagine

The price will be fixed shortly (whether by cg or by Steam) and we will have a flood of "Why is my CV going down?" type threads. It really does no permanent harm, and in the end probably "hurts" the exploiters, if you can be really hurt by giving away games.

A lot of hospital tycoon giveaways were created, then deleted just because they realized they cant exploit the CV system with said game.. lol. This should be against the rules to delete a giveaway for no reason besides realizing you wont get as much CV as you once thought.
