A little help with contributing.

Closed
SeanBeanDies

Hello, I signed up to this website a few weeks back and have been entering into lots of giveaways, with the new humble bundle I decided to pay the above average and got a nice selection of games!
I kept a few and have four left I don't want, so I thought I would let others have them, I was reading about the new rules on bundle games being in giveaways, and I just want to ask a few questions on it.
From my understanding, a new contributor, can give away up to $25 dollars worth of bundle games, which I did, I still have two games left, so if I was to do the first two giveaways, then I put another two on, what CV would I get from the next two?
I don't want to seem greedy by giving away for CV value, but I would like to know if I should giveaway my next two games via the giveaways function or do it in other ways, by finding out if they will increase my CV.

You can actually get up to $30 with bundle games

Okay that makes sense, so I would get zero CV for the next two bundle games I add?

Sorry, you misunderstood, say I max myself out at $30 bucks, am I correct in saying all bundle games I giveaway after that give me zero CV?

Only until you give away non-bundle games, then you can get up to 1/5 the non-bundle-games' value more out of bundle games

Ah, thank you very much for your help, I don't mind not getting CV too much, so I'll probably giveaway the rest of my bundle games, I have no use for them, so I'll let people who want to play them have them.

Cool. As others have said, once you've given away a few non-bundled games, you'll get the full CV for these bundled games too :)

No they won't. Every bundled game will give you a 20% of every non bundled game that you give away.

oh. yes. after 30$ you increase your CV only with none bundled games. And if a future nonbundle game that you gifted goes into a bundle it will be removed from your CV too.

the first $25 don't count as bundle games, they're considered full game value. Ignoring that fact for a second, you can only get 20% of your non-bundle games value as CV from bundle games

So 20% of $25 = $5
$25 + $5 = $30

If you were to give away more non-bundle games it would increase your total non-bundle value. So if you give away $25 in non-bundle games in addition to what you've given now, it'd raise your bundle-CV cap by another $5, because:
20% of $50 (your new non-bundle CV) = $10
So you will now get UP TO $10 value from bundle games. If you give under $10, you will get what you give. If you give more than $10 you will only get $10.

I like this part: "I don't want to seem greedy by giving away for CV value, but I would like to know if I should giveaway my next two games via the giveaways function or do it in other ways, by finding out if they will increase my CV."
Saying that and keep asking for cv increase rate is quite weird, tbh. For me you can keep all the games for yourself.

I'm sorry if you misunderstood me, it's late here and I'm tired, I wanted to know if I should give my other games away via the give-aways button (For the simplicity of giving them away and the bonus CV) or if I should just do a puzzle or a random link.
Sorry for misleading you.

Give them as you want and don't care, someone may end playing those games and enjoying them.

you don't actually get 0$ for next submissions, but the CV gets "on hold" until you give away non bundle games. later on you will be receiving extra 20% from this uncounted bundle CV for non-bundle GAs.

So for example if you give away them all you will only get 30$ CV, but if later on you give away non-bundle game woth 10$ instead of 10$ you will get 12$ CV and so on and on until you use up all stored bundle CV.
