My cv went down

Have you added Raiden to the bundle list yet?

Holidays?! Oh you filthy volounteer, that's why we don't pay you!

How was it, btw?

I really, really hope you're just being facetious here, and you don't actually consider giving over $40 worth of games to be leeching.

They would have to save more than just basic data about every user. It would raise the cost of maintaining the site as well as cost of data. Considering CG already operates the site at a loss it's not likely to happen.

easily - they get the CV value for ALL THE GAMES from steam store. then just tick the bundle ones to not give full CV. much easier than keeping track manually of all price changes on store 24/7.

The bundle its a diferent thing it only affects a few games and and for the rest it works the same way if there's a price drop for a bundle the CV of the 20% you made drops also.

You know the bundle list is manually edited by Shobo... You are proposing that someone manually keeps track of all steam store price changes? Even if they got code to do the work for them, Steam API is not reliable for always reporting the right prices. At least that has been my experience with it. Recently my CV went up and down because of hitman being reported by API as 45 dollars when it's really 25 now. Then later it reverted back to normal. Someone can't keep track of all that and a computer can't differentiate between that type of bug and a real price change.

A lot of people believe CV will give them super powers. In the end it is a pointless stupid number on a website. Noting more nothing less.

and I said people don't. People get really hostile about puzzle donors who then cry about not getting their CV.

You may not have said anything about CV, but the hostility to which you refer is generally directed at those who complain after failing to generate CV through bundled game giveaways.

it can't be like that, becaue it could still be abused. Look for the current example with train simulator. The Game worth 55$ CV costs 0.75$ in a bundle. It is over 98.5% discount. iwth your 25% system, I've I'd spend 15$ on it, I'd get 20 copies, worth 1100 dollars, so even after reduction I'd get 275$ CV. Which is still 18.(3) times more than what I've spent. Or in other words still 95% discount.

Not to mention exploited games that anyone can get in unlimited copies for free, and would still get 25% of their value without spending even a cent.

Well, not quite. You get $25 of bundled games count as full value. Then you get 20% of that back if you buy more bundled games. So if you gave away 50 games the minimum your CV would be is $30, and every non-bundle game you gave away would be 120% of the normal value until you got all the value of your bundle games back. And like zelghadis said, your way there invites massive abuse, especially since you can commonly get many games for $1 that are worth over $55 (totalled together) in bundles
