WTF my total contribution value dropped

It dropped, the end.

contributer value is based on current price

Yes, it always reflect the current full price on Steam.

it functions this way right now. Hope it will be changed once, cause it is not how it should be in my opinion.

If thats the way it is then thats the way it is. Kind of sucks but what are you going to do.

That's how game value is calculated after all

so when game is on sale its contributors value drops?

That's actually stupid because if I buy a game that costs 30$ now and give it away my contributor value will be 20$. But suddenly prices drops to 15$ and my contributor value drops too. But I paid 30$ for the game. I want my 15$ back...

yes this is normal and it happens to all games so dont fret, its just part of the life cycle of games.

lol they drop the price 1 week after the summer sales

bastards

Maybe something is wrong with my logic, but if you give away a game for which you have paid $10, your contribution to the community is $10 even if the price drops after some time.

That's kind of weird, though. Wouldn't it be simple enough to set the Contributor status at a static value save for the upcoming changes instead of having the site recalculate the value of contributions every time you access your profile? I don't really understand it all but it seems like that places an extra burden on the site.
Or, perhaps I'm simply misunderstanding what's being said.

Didn't know about this today it does suck and is stupid they need to fix it you shouldn't lose its value.

the funny thing is that i was talking about that ealier when someone said that the new system system is unfair to those who are giving away indie games cos you don't know if they wont be worthless as they might be in a bundle someday
