bundle giveaway credit

Closed

So I made some giveaways yesterday but my profile amount didn't increase, is this right?

I thought you didn't get the full value for bundle giveaways but I thought I would get something the games had a total normal value of $110 but my profile remained at $30. If it turns out I don't get any increase from bundle games then there'll be no more giveaways from me.

You can raise your contribution by giving away games that haven't been bundled that will also increase the amount you get from bundled titles at the same time.

Mega

I did read the forum the answers were less than clear, but from what is posted above no matter how many bundle games I give away I can't get more that $30?

Fair enough, hope the poeple enjoy what they got, there won't be any more.

You can increase the cap on bundle contributions by doing non-bundle contributions.

Really, no more? I guess we will just need to pay a dollar ourselves, or enter for the dozens of other bundle giveaways.

We aren't losing much.

On the other hand, you can`t judge him - some gave away tons of "indiegala minibundles (1$)" games and got huge CV. I, myself, did not spend over 10$ (if we exclude The Witcher) on the games I gave away and I have 100CV.

Totally. The 4k or so comments in support tickets? Just me laughing at people for being dumb.

The 3k or so in the forum? Just flaming, trolling, and shitposting.

The 1k or so in giveaways? ty

Wow, what a way to turn the community against you, and it seems the 2 only posts you ever made is in this thread, so I guess you don't care much.

Why? is there any other games that doesn't show unless you played them, just out of curiosity.

All F2P games and games which will become F2P, and maybe a few others.

Galactic Arms Race - I have ~1h in that game + a few achievements unlocked but it won`t show on my page.

Doesn't show at all because it's not available through Steam yet. Needs to be greenlit.

That is because the game isn't officially on steam.

Full contribution value kicks in once you give away 50 bundled games. Keep going, you're almost there!

Thanks, that was a useful response

I can't tell if you're serious, but he's making fun of you.

After your first $30, bundle games can only count for 20% of your total. That is to say that right now, if you gave away a non-bundle game worth $8, your contributor value would go up to $40, because the $8 would be credited and would also allow for $2 of your bundle-value-over-$30 to be credited (since that much would be 20% of your non-bundle giveaways.)

tl;dr version: You need to give away non-bundle stuff for your bundle stuff to count (and after the first $30, the ratio needs to be at least 4 non-bundle dollars to every bundle dollar.) It's not that there is no contributor value to it, but you have to give away other stuff, too.

I can't tell if you're serious either. I was just pulling your leg.
