Hitman Absolution CV DOWN!! BECAUSE????

Because the price decreased? Took me a minute to realise there wasn't a hidden giveaway.

That's how it is... The game is cheap right now, in the US store, so yeah, the points have dropped and the CV too...

EDIT: It would have been nice if the system would not decrase your CV even if the game isn't that expensive, it should verify when you did the giveaway (before the price drop or after). System is f**ed up.

Cry me a river.

Let's burn them all!

The CV of a game should stay at the price point of the time the giveaway was created. I fail to understand the logic of retroactively lowering the value of a giveaway.

q.q

What does it matter, it's just a number. I hit $500 few days ago, and now it is lowered. It only means I can create 500CV celebration again at later time.

more cry :/

Did you spend $50 on the game?

Did you even spend $25 on the game?

Shit happens.

In a system with a maximum value of CV giveaways I think devalueing games is quite necessary. Dat said, just because people give away the games at $60 doesnt mean they bought it when it was $60 as the automated system here does not catch every price change at once.

And this is why i don't care for CV.

INJUSTICE!

The Steam Gifts should improve this system, it ends up being unfair to people who have paid a higher price and made the draw before the price reduction.

Tremendous lack of respect for the user. Long time value Hitman fell on Steam.
The Steamgifts waited out a lot of promotion of the game, a lot of people give away, only to cut by half the CV.
A pity that the Steamgifts acted that way. I find it regrettable that.
CV cut should just give away who it was from now on.

its $5 dollars last i checked on amazon - lucky you get CV value of $25 (when in actuality its current purchase price is only $5) :D

Wait till he finds out Borderlands 2 is going down in price too. Wouldn't want to be around for that outburst.

dont worry, soon cv wont be a problem anymore

Stay classy

How terrible.

The site calculates contribution values based on the value of the game, they're not stored per giveaway.

And game values are pulled from the Steam API. This allows game prices to be automatically be updated, as it is unrealistic for the admin to manually adjust every price change that occurs in the store.

The unfortunate side effect is that when the price of a game drops, every giveaway for that game is affected. It's the way it always has been. You probably didn't pay $50 for the game anyway, maybe not even $25. It's how the system is, if you don't like it, you don't have to give anything away.

Guys...just to be sure. You are complaining that a error in SG was fixed. The game has had a lowered price for weeks. You didnt buy it for 50 bucks and you didnt give it away when it was 50 bucks. All the complainers here bought it probably from amazon for 5 bucks and now they are angry that they just get the 25 bucks it has on steam anyway.

The regular price was for over a month already down at 35 and wasnt at 50 since february. It changed a few days ago to 25 on steam.

Sooo yeah

BOOOOHOOOO I WANTED TO EXPLOIT ANOTHER HOLE IN THE SYSTEM AND NOW IT GOT FIXED.

The CV feature just screws everyone over at some point doesn't it?

Solution: stop giving a shit about your contributor value

I've been expecting this. It's been selling for $25 or $15 everywhere except Steam for sometime now.

So, big deal? If you are so hard up for points you should not even be here. You're defeating the purpose of this site's community spirit.

I really hate people like you who give games away because you want to enter higher contributor giveaways. This is the second time I've had my points cut and I'm not even complaining.

And all of your games were either crap or had some massively ridiculous price cuts. Your intent here is crystal clear.
