If you give it away before the date it was bundled you will keep the original cv.

But now 3 weeks later this game (stardew valley) get bundled, will I still lose the cv?
Yes you will lose cv
Edit: No i'm wrong

If you give the game before it becomes bundled then you will keep the full value (unless there is a price change in steam)
If you make a GA but it ends after the day it gets added to the bundle list then you'll receive the bundle CV value of 15%

so for my understanding I buy a game for $20,- and give it away, but a year later its discounted lets say for $ 10,-
You still lose cv?

if its discounted (steam sale for example) the no, you will keep the full value.
if the game is 3-4 years old and the price gets permanently reduced on steam ($40 game now sells for $20) then the CV will go down too, this affects both the full value and the bundled one.
the depreciation will affect the CV no matter when it was given, the bundled value only if the game is given after the bundle date :)

I gave away a lot of non bundled ones cause I like it to give other stuff
But I want to reach lvl 6 (long way to go)
So better to be safe and from nog stick to the bundled ones
Thanks for your answer :)

np :) just remember to check the bundle list everynow and then just to make sure the game you want to give isnt already bundled :P
Also some bundles can be better than unbundle games if you want to level as sometimes $1 in bundle price can give 3-4CV, try to keep an eye on the posts from rachellove her RaCharts are awesome :D
And here is the Master Bundle List for all ongoing bundles on every website :P

yes thanks I look Always at Rachels topic, but only buy bundles if I want one game so I can giveaway the leftovers :)
From now going to buy bundle games to giveaway, cause its a lot clearer for me

That's not correct, it's the creation date that is used to determine the value

ooh you learn something new everyday! i thought it depended on the marked date :D well thats even better :P

You won't lose the cv if you made the giveaway before it got bundled. But it is possible to affect your cv retroactively, if you bought it when it was very cheap or in a bundle and it gets bundled a year afterwards. xD

aha ok :) thanks nice new avatar btw
So to be sure you can better make only giveaways of already bundled games :)

Thank you. I was trying to find a Lucky Luke picture related to summer or water and this was the only one that I could find. xD Yeah, better do that. And what I said before, it's true. I remember talking with a guy that said that his giveaway got bundled a year after. Just give away some already bundled games to be sure, as you said. ;P

I like Lucky luke :))
From now I will give more bundled games cause I want to reach lvl 6 :) Still a long way to go
But I also like to give away games that arent created much
Choises are hard :P

Lucky Luke is so awesome. ^_^ There are some games that got bundled here and they didn't make many giveaways for them. Examples are Just Cause 3 and F1 2015.

consider that a game can get retro actively bundled.
if it is on sale somewhere, and support only hears about it 2-3 motnhs after, then yes. you will lose cv
Comment has been collapsed.
ok :)
So got to give more bundled games so I wont get to many suprises
Comment has been collapsed.
You will get full CV in that case BUT if 8 weeks later there is a permanent price drop for that game on steam, your CV is lowered to that new value

Holy shit, I just wrote a long answer, submitted the comment, and it didn't show up!
Here we go again, but less verbose
Example:
January 1 game X is released for $20
February 1 dingbat gives away the game
March 1 game becomes part of a cheap bundle
April 1 yoshirules gives away the game
May 1 game goes on sale for 50% off
June 1 game goes back to full price
July 1 game is retroactively added to the bundle list (retroactive date of March 1)
August 1 game receives a permanent price cut to $10
September 1 game goes on sale for 50% off
October 1 game goes back to full price ($10)
CV
January: dingbat $20, yoshirules $0
February: dingbat $20, yoshirules $0
March: dingbat $20, yoshirules $0
April: dingbat $20, yoshirules $20
May: dingbat $20, yoshirules $20
June: dingbat $20, yoshirules $20
July: dingbat $20, yoshirules $3
August: dingbat $10, yoshirules $1.50
September: dingbat $10, yoshirules $1.50
October: dingbat $10, yoshirules $1.50
dingbat gave away the game before it got bundled, and will always receive the full list price as CV. However, when the list price is reduced, so is dingbat's CV
yoshirules gave away the game after it got bundled, and is only entitled to 15% of the list price as CV. But, because the bundle list isn't always up-to-date, yoshirules will erroneously receive CV for the full value of the game until the game is added to the bundle list.
Rule 1: CV is calculated off the current steam list price (ignoring any discounts). Therefore, CV will drop if there is a permanent price drop, but not if it's a temporary sale note that a game can be permanently on sale, but as long as the official price doesn't drop, neither does CV
Rule 2: If you give away a game before the effective date of the bundle list, you receive full value. If you give away a game after the effective date of the bundle list, you receive 15% of the value
Rule 3: it doesn't matter what date the game is added to the bundle list, what matters is the effective date, which is the date it was bundled. If you give away a game between the effective date and the date it is added to the bundle, you will temporarily receive the full CV; but you really shouldn't have.
Rule 4: A game is added to the bundle list if it is available anywhere in the world for more or less 95% less than the full list price it can get a little fuzzy, though; see below
Rule 5: There is a formula for determining whether a game being part of a bundle warrants being put on the bundle list. Without going into detail, generally speaking a game being Tier 3 of humble bundle or part of their monthly is not deemed a big enough discount to warrant inclusion in the bundle list, while being in the $1 tier, or part of indiegala, dig, etc. will put it on the list
Rule 6: free games may not be given away, and will give $0 CV
Rule 7: there are exceptions to Rules 4 and 6, and it's more art than science. If a game is temporarily glitched for only a few minutes, and very few people are able to take advantage, it's not added to the list; if the glitch goes on too long, it is added. Likewise, if a limited number of copies are available for free, the game might not be added to the free games list

I did read some older post, but its still not really clear for me:
Exampe:
If I buy a non-bundled game (lets say stardew valley) and I make a giveaway for it I get the complete cv
But now 3 weeks later this game (stardew valley) get bundled, will I still lose the cv?
Thanks for answering
